A showing is made by utilities throughout the entire country, the onlv exception to the rule being in the case of residential service in very small communities, The report lists the rates paid for 25, 100 and 250 kilowatt hours consumption, grouping cities by population. All rates are shown as of Jan. 1, 1939.

In each of these classifications shown for Indiana, the lowest rates were charged by the publicly- owned utilities. In a few instances pub-liclv-owned utilities charged the highest rate.

Utilities Studied Widely

| The E. R. R. survey is based on additional data published by the Commission after a study of 691 privatelv-owned and publiclyowned eieciric utilities throughout the U. S. for the fiscal vears 1936 and 1937 “As measured by ‘base revenues,’ the Commission found that private-ly-owned utilities have paid 14.4 per cent of such revenues to public agencies in the form of taxes and net cash contributions,” the E. R. R report stated. “Publiclv-owned per cent of their taxes and net cash
