Consumers Public Power District has paid more than $7,000,000 "in lieu of taxes" since its organization, as its share in helping to support your city, county, state, and schools. Prior to 1959, these "in lieu of tax" payments were made in amounts equal to the funds paid by the predecessor companies the year prior to acquisition by Consumers Public Power District. . Realizing, however, its responsibility as a good citizen, the District instituted action on a Constitutional amendment, which was ap proved by popular vote to allow the District to increase "in" lieu of tax" payments to 5ro of its gross revenues in every incorporated community it serves at retail. As a result, the payments amounted to $741,284 for 1959, more than double the 1958 payment. The "in lieu of tax" money is used for the support of schools, for police and fire protection, for streets and highways, and other tax supported services. In addition, Consumers Public Power District extends a special dis count on electric service to tax-supported institutions and munici pal street light systems. These discounts in 1959 amounted to ap proximately $160,000 which brought the annual benefit to more than $900,000.
