Figures compiled from Federal Power Commission's Typical Residential Electric Bills, 1955 The Nebraska Public Power Sys tem was created more than 15 years ago... Since that time the cost of electricity in Nebraska has decreased 75 per cent. Dining the same period, the cost of living has increased 92.9 per cent. There’s a big difference in use of electricity during those 15 years, too. The average Nebraska home in 1939 used only 750 kilowatt hours. Today the average yearly home consumption in Nebraska is 2,401 kilowatt hours. This demand for more electricity has more than tripled since NPPS was created. And the demand is expected to double again by 1960. Power produced by NPPS has served you well in the past... and serves you well today. It will serve ' you well in the future. For this reason, NPPS wants your support. The proposed merger of NPPS, Loup River Public Power Dis trict and Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District can answer Nebraska’s power expansion problems for many years. And the merger would mean a continuation of our present policy — adequate low-cost power for a growing Nebraska. __ • i For more tacts on public power, write for the free NPPS Question and Answer Booklet, the Nebraska Public Power Sys tem, Dept.
