CPPD officials have announc ed that, effective May 1 resid- - ential and commercial custom " ers using electricity to heat their homes or businesses will receive a 12 cent per kilowatt hour J. rate for such service. The new rate recently was approved by ' CPPD's board of directors. - Consumers' officials pointed out that the new rate compares with the 1957 average resident m ial rate of 2.57 cents per KWH used for home lighting, appli- - ances and other household chor- es. CPPD rate experts and engin- eers. in informing the board that , the new rate is another "first" in Consumers' history, also poin ted out that Nebraska is rapid ly developing into an excellent market for electric house heat ing. They stated that electrical (or space- heating complements or "balances off" the winter - power load against the high sum mer load brought about by in creased irrigation ana air conditioning. It also was revealed that e lectric house heating, which has spread quite rapidly in Iowa and is becoming equally popular in various sections of Nebraska, is now being used by about 500,000 U. S. homeowners. Many new homes, especially, have all-electric heating. Older homes also have been rewired to meet the growing demand for all-electric heat. CPPD officials said the most popular types of electric house heating are cables in the ceil ing plaster, glass panels along the baseboards or just above them and resistive units for the baseboard, ceiling or wall pan el installation. They explained the principle used in electric house heating is the same which operates an electric toaster heat is produced by the resist ance an electric current encoun ters when it travels through a wire. The principal cf electric house or space heating through the glass panel method got its big start in the underground forts of the old French Maginot Line. It also has been used with suc cess in weather observation sta tions in the Antarctic. REALTY TRANSFERS Claude Heim et al to Claude Heim & Leta, 12-27-5P, Lot 227, Louisville, 56,000.
