Mr A.V.Guillou of the State Railroad Commission addressed the Board in regard to existing electric rates; his charts of the Lodi rate compared with private power company rates in similar fields demonstrated effectively that the local rate for installations of less than 50 K.W.H. is much less than the others,but in comparisons made for installations of more than 50 K.V.H., the rate in Lodi is somewhat in excess of that charged in Stockton and Sacramentobut not enough to make the charge good that a large user of power would find its cost prohibitive. No decision in the matter of reduction of rates to the larger users was made at this time. Reports from the Poundmaster and City Marshal were read and ordered filed.
