Beginning July 1st, 1910 the price of electricity falls from 15 to 13 cents per kilowatt hour. The lower rate makes electrical appliances affordable for households and encourages adoption of electric laundry and other conveniences in homes nationwide.
The company announces a rate cut per kilowatt hour and a revised minimum charge. After July 1, 1910, the minimum will be collected monthly as before. On June 36, 1911, and every year thereafter, customers with twelve month usage under 12 dollars but total payments over 12 dollars will receive a refund to ensure the annual minimum does not exceed 12 dollars net.
