as. December 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK poration, discussed, "The Public Util- ity Company's Stake in Electric Power," He claimed that we owe a great debt to the men and companies who have done the hard pioneering necessary to bring this tremendous in- dustry to the point of efficiency and comparative low cost of the present day from the time, only forty nine years ago, that the first incadescent light was developed. Alvin C. Reis, a member of the Wis- consin Interim Commission on Water Power, talked on, "The People's Stake in Electric Power," and told of the findings of the Commission as a re- sult of its investigation of government ownership. In Wisconsin where elec- tric power is sold by private companies the rates average between 7 and 8 cents per kilowatt hour while in On- tario where the government supplies the power, it is sold at rates varying from 1 cent to 1.6 cents per kilowatt hour. This lower cost to the consumer the Commission found responsible for consumption equivalent to approxi- mately 5 to 10 times more than in com- parable territories supplied by private corporations for it encouraged the use of additional electrical labor saving de- vices in individual homes.
