...years D.E.C. had supplied the needs of approximately half of them. Coop, as a result of its first three years, has extended its services to some 1,500 farmers at current date. It hopes to serve 4,000 to 5,000 when and if effectively established. Co-op rate for 100 kilowatt-hours per month is $5.07; D.E.C. sells 100 kilowatt-hours per month for $3.39. Co-op borrowed $2,000,000 from the Federal Government. It is a fact of irrelevance that D.E.C. paid a little over $2,000,000 in taxes to the Federal Government...
...speak of the $1,000 a mile charge made by the Cooperative for stringing its lines. You say that "private utilities had been charging customers from $1,500 to $2,500 a mile for stringing lines to their doors." So far as Detroit Edison Co. is concerned, their rate book shows that they charge $500 per mile for stringing the lines to their customers. If the customers connect to the line at the time it is strung, each customer receives a rebate of $100. If, then, there are five customers in any mile, the line-stringing costs the customers nothing...
...President Roosevelt's National Resources Committee last week reported that the U. S. population will reach a minimum peak of 139,457,000 in 1960 (based on low birth rate, medium death rate, no immigration), or a maximum peak of 174,330,000 in 1980 (based on high birth rate, low death rate, no immigration). Between 1935 and 1975, persons 20 to 44 years old will increase by 6% , persons...
...forth a Solomonesque decision. Southern Pacific's Gate ferry to Marin County's Sausalito landing, paralleling the deficit-ridden Golden Gate Bridge, must cease operation by July 28. Its Bay ferry, flanking the money-making San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge, may continue to operate at its present rates. Reasons: the Sausalito Ferry, which was losing money at the rate of $200,000 annually, "should not be permitted to injure itself . . . for the purpose of diverting traffic from its competitor." The Bay ferry, economically justified (seven-month net operating profit, as of February 28: $58,286), was a public...
...business. In June, its first full month, Luggage Rental Service catered to 100 clients, broke even, doubled its business each week. Its luggage, bought wholesale, now includes 350 pieces of baggage in various grades and colors. Clients pay a $5 deposit and a two-week (minimum) rate, which ranges from $1.25 to $11 per bag. Sample charge: a women's three-piece set, which sells for $45.85, rents for two weeks for $6. In between trips all bags are sterilized and reconditioned so that Masterson expects them to last longer than the 150 days he allowed in figuring depreciation...
