Preeport has held ttie lino until

World War 2 the cost of ituaterlala
and labor lias risen shanily. Mean­while
the use of electricity has
grown from 760 kilowatts per capita
annually to 2,000. Mr, Edwards at­tributed
this to greater use of apj^l-ances
(especially air-conditioning
In recent years) and Industrial de­mands,
In expanding facilities to
meei these needs, the commission

Should pay Its own way to aU w-speots,"
