UGHT RATES REDUCED Effective January 1, 1927 light Rates in all towns served by Hydro-electric, lines of the Edisto Public Service Company will be reduced one cent per kilowatt. ^ ^ ^ ' This reduction is consistent with our policy of reducing rates as rapidly as cost of operation can be reduced, — this being the third volun tary reduction of rates within the past twelve months. We expect to he able to announce a further reduction in all rates within the next few months. ' . ■ N. X # In order to make possibe these reductions in rates it is necessary that we insist upon bills for service being paid promptly when due. When you fail to pay your bill for electric service 1 you not only make it hard on the company serving you, but you make it doubly hard by preventing rates being reduced as rapidly as they could be if these bills were paid. Most of the bills are compartive- ly small and by paying them as they come due it will not work a hardship on any one.
