May Cut City Electric Rates for Atchison
Kansas Power & Light Co plans a two month data gathering here to justify lower electric rates. Col Ralph Love told the city commission that Atchison’s rates are out of line and the new Tecumseh plant can handle more load. He said a rate reduction could boost general electricity use and improve commercial lighting rates, noting existing optional rates save large domestic users about 35 percent. The outcome of the investigation remains uncertain.
