Ketchikan homes lead the av
erage American home in the use
of electricity considerably more
than five to one and pay one
third the average rate, according (
to figures compiled by the Na
tional Electric Light Association
and compared with local statis
tics prepared by the Citizens Light
Power and Water Company, says
the Chronicle.
The average number of kilo
watt hours consumed by American
.residences during the year ending
I last April was 563, for the year
lending May it was 566.
In Ketchikan during 1930 the
i average number of kilowatt hours
consumed by residence customers!
of the Ciitezns Light, Power and
Water Company was 2795, or a
monthly average of 232. For the
! first seven months of 1931, total
| kilowatt hour consumption per
I residence consumer, on the aver-j
j age, was 1676, or 239 a month. j
The average American cost for;
each residence customer in the !
12-month period ending last May!
was 5:91 cents per kilowatt hour.!
For the year ending in April the
; average cost was 5.93 cents. The
year previous it was 6.23 cents. I
The Ketchikan average for do
mestic customers in 1930 was 2.16:
cents, and for the first seven
months of 1931 the average resi-j
dence rate per kilowatt hour was
2.14 cents.
Officials of the Citizens Light
Power and Water Company point
ed out that many utility compan
ies have set a goal of 5,000 kilo
watt hours as the average for each
residence customer. The mark of
2795 set here in 1930 shows Ket
chikan well on the road.
