fhe temporary increase irt Freepprt's electilc-rate
granted by the Public Service Cominissioii in late Febniary
is on its way to becoming permanent. A PSC Examiner

The total revenue increase of $485,069 recommended

originally sought by the Village.

Village for municipal purposes Including street lighting
and water department operations. The last maSor rate
change occurred in 1959.
Two of the five hearings on the proposed rates were
held in Village Hall.
The PSC examiner also recommended a revision of the
Village's electric rate structure as a result of which, he said,
"there may be overpayments under the temporary rates
by some customers because of differences between the form
of the tranporary and recommended permanent increases.
