Yet you are now paying less for gas than you did 15 years ago. And the increase we are seeking amounts to only 20%. Under present rates, the typical residential customer on our system pays a year-round average of only $4.42 a month for cooking, water heating, house heating and, for many customers, refrigeration as well. The proposed rate will add only 88¢ a month or 3¢ a day to the present average. What else has gone up so little in so long a time? Whatever rate may be granted, gas will still be your household bargain. We hope you understand and approve our request for an adjustment in our rates.
