Getting Good Service Several weeks ago a friend of ours mentioned that he was getting low-voltage electricity at his home here in Decatur. He told how his service had been good for a year or two, but since recent building in his neighborhood it had become very poor. He felt that the additional lines added were robbing him of power. One day while visiting the city hall we mentioned this to the city audiotr, Ed Kauffman, and to the lady in charge of electric billing, Mrs. William Hunter. They looked up the service record on the address given, and noted that no complaint had ever been filed. Then they offered to put a line meter on the electric line there, and check to see if enough power was reaching the home. ”“A 24-hour check showed that power was low there, and the transformer was stepped up to meet the changed electric load on the line. But this brings up an important point. The city electric company would have gone right on giving poor service if they had not been informed of the complaint. They have no way of checking the 4,000 meters with their two meter checkers unless you, when you feel that your line is not serving you properly, tell them your problem. Many people just naturally hate to complain. This is fine, but when you have a legitimate gripe, it is all right to call the city hall and tell them about it. They appreciate finding out what is wrong from someone who can state the problem plainly and briefly. Perhaps very few people realize that the Decatur city utility workers will go out of their way to help each individual power buyer; they will check the power you are receiving, if you desire it. If you are receiving enough, yet still have problems, you will have to face the possibility that some of the problem could be in the wiring of your home. Since there are only two checking meters, there is often a waiting period of two or three days before the line can be checked. But the city is more than happy to cooperate with anyone who feels he has a legitimate complaint about service. Dozens of lines are checked each week by the city workers, and a record is kept on each complaint. It is interesting to note that while many are legitimate complaints, most of them are not; still, by checking, one of the possible causes of poor service can be easily eliminated.

Farmers Alerted To Redeem Beans, Com I Farmers with corn, soybeans, or both, underf low price support loans should watch market prices closely in the next few weeks for opportunities to redeem their crops ab ovethe loan level, according to James Garboden of hte Adams county agricultural stabilisation and conservation office. Prospects for redemption are particularly good, Garboden said, in case of corn which is under non-compliance or non-commercial area loans. Loans on soybeans mature May 31 and cm corn July 31. To compare the loan value with the market price in his particular area, the farmer needs to make allowance for various settlement factors Such as interest, shrinkage, delivery charges and, in the case of corn, cost of shelling. If a farmer is in any doubt about how Jo figure these factors, questions can be addressed to the ASC county committeeman or county office. Garboden points out that a farmer who redeems his pirce support loan when the local market will return him a profit is using the price support program as it was intended. The support rate, he said, puts a floor under prices to protect farmers from low harvest time prices and enables them to hold for the higher prices that usually exist later in the marketing year. o— — — 20 Years Ago Today o— — 0 May 7, 1939 was Sunday and no paper, was published.
