The author, James R. Jones, is responding to a letter from Mrs. Pauline Mace regarding high utility costs. Jones acknowledges the issue and states that he is working to lower utility costs by repealing the Fuel Use Act. He suggests that Mrs. Mace contact Governor Nigh and her State Senator and Representatives since utility rates are set by state governments. Jones expresses hope that the problem will be resolved soon and offers assistance in addressing any further concerns.
