Five Cent Electric Rate Urged For Homes by Cooke
Morris Llewellyn Cooke, a noted public utilities expert, argues in this first of four articles that about 45 percent of U S homes should face a maximum domestic rate of 5 cents per kilowatt hour.

He cites current U S averages near 7 cents and Ontario rates around 2 cents as context.
