Edison Company has filed Application No. 53488 with the California Public Utility
Commission for a general increase in rates for electric service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress has estimated that this proposed rate increase,
if approved, would increase the annual rate to the City for electrical services
by $2,300; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress has further determined that this proposed rate
increase would result in an estimated annual increase of $14,400 for street
lighting energy charges; and
WHEREAS, these increases would be required to be paid through an increased
tax to the citizens of the community ; and
WHEREAS, in addition to these charges, the average homeowner would also be
burdened with an increase of approximately 8.6% for their individual electrical
service; and

are seeking to reduce the tax burden and stabilize the economy with wage and price
controls.

opposes the application for rate increase as submitted by the Southern California
Edison Company and requests the support of the Public Utilities Commission in
