Yet it will take the total amount paid to the company by 6,700, or 45%, of our residential customers to pay our 1932 tax bill. And taxes are just one of the expenses, not visible on the surface, which enter into the cost of rendering dependable efectric service to btir customers. Maintaining electric service at a high standard and at reasonable rates is our job. Proof that we have met with some success is found in the fact that the average price paid for service for the homes served by this company is now 28% lower than in the pre-war year of 1913.
