Pen Elec seeks electric rate hike in 1940s notice
Pennsylvania Electric Company filed with the Public Utility Commission seeking a rate increase to take effect after May 20. The plan would raise residential bills by about six cents per month on average and lift annual company revenue by roughly 3.6 million dollars before taxes. Company officials cited higher coal, gas, wire, transformers, wages, and taxes, plus investment costs of 79 million dollars since 1949, as reasons for the rise.
