Notice to Gas Consumers in Butte on Rate Increase
The Montana Power Company seeks Montana Public Service Commission approval on Nov 9 1920 for higher gas rates in Butte. Current tiered rates range from 1.65 to 1.00 per 1000 cu ft with a 10 percent prompt payment discount and a $1 minimum per meter. New rates proposed set higher base charges and tiered usage with a 9.10 per 1000 cu ft prompt-pay discount and $1.50 minimum per meter. The change reflects five years of inadequate revenue, with coal costs up 70 percent since 1916 and labor up 40 percent. If approved, the new rate would take effect Dec 1.
