Rate cut on electric bills welcomed by city and utility
City officials and the Ohio Public Service Co report approval of the reduced domestic electric rate ordinance passed June 15. The new rates take effect immediately and save about 20000 annually for domestic consumers by eliminating the service charge and the extra charge on electric ranges. Mayor D A Baird and CP and S Co officials praise the agreement as fair, with strong local support from Elyria business leader J B Johnson who notes increased appliance use and higher living standards through reliable service.
