Potomac Electric Rate Cut Could Save Wash. Residents
The Public Utilities Commission ordered a 20 percent cut in Potomac Electric Power rates, lowering the price per kilowatt hour to 3 cents and the minimum charge to 7 cents, with street lighting and schedules revised. The change, effective August 1, 1917, aims to save about 406,000 for Washington residents and may be retroactive if appeals fail, pending court action.
