in refugee work in Chungking

'spent most of her years, is much
different. Dig three feet into the

Chengtu she said, explaining that

result the people trek to • the
country when an alarm is Sound-
ed, and the majority 'of the mer-'
chandise for sale is kept in the
country. By plfsh cart the mer-
chants' take small' quantities of
goods "back and forth.
About 'a third of Chengtu has
been laid waste and the hospital
where She spent her life Was
burned to the ground by enemy
agents.

Electric Servile::
h a i
In our, previous message, we indicated the two parts, of the cost
of supplying electric power to the Rural User. Let us consider
. , the part covering distribution cost, and its relationto. the
MINIMUM BILL.„- • f •
v . •
• • •
. n
Electricity cannot be bought ata store and takeri home for use: It•has
, meters, etc.' These lines must be
to . be delivered to your 'home or farm over distribution lines built of
poles, wires, insulators; transformers,
ready to deliver electricity day in and day out, when you tura the Switch.
These pole lines, with related equipment, cost money to construct, and •
' on this cost must be paid each ,year, interest' and repayment of capital.,
In. addition, .. these lines must . be -properlj maintained, replaced when
• necessary, andkept in good operating condition, including costs of billing .•
•
and collecting and superintendence. ' All; of thede. distribution costs
must be met each year,' in addition to the actual cost,of electricity at
the substation. • , .. , • , •
' Let us see what this distribution cost amounts to: • '
. .,., Cost to construct 20,000 miles of distribution lines
to serve 135,000 rural users - $39,000,000.00
Yearly cost (1942) Of operation,. maintenance, . ,
• °• ; 2,991,400-00
intefest, renewals, etc • ' , 4
. • rB.2.-,u
• Average cost per customer • , - • 1$2per year
'
.• 1 1.85 per month
p>,
In hamlets where customers can be grouped and lines are shorter,
this average cost per user is slightly ,less. In the case of farms where the
users are spread along the line, the cost is somewhat greater..
Whether or not you use power in any month, the cost Of this equip- '
. ment to serve Sim still carries on. If you' use less electricity . than is
•
covered by the minimum cost (on standard farms, 56 kilowatt hours a
month), then ,you have a MINIMUM BILL to meet this distribution
cos. If yciir use of electricity is greater, your bill at the ,Uniform Rate
.r
toy both distribution cost, plus the cost of electricity at the station
TheMinimum Bill for a 2 -wire Hamlet user is 41.50 net per month; for
a standard Farm, it is $2.02 net per month. •
