Dear Chairman Ahearne:
Seing the President of a manufacturing company in Berks Ccunty, Pennsylvania, I would like to reveal my concern for the growing cost of electricity in our area and what seems to be a partial solution to it.
Boyertown Packaging Corp. is a converter of flexible pack-aging =aterials that are used primarily in the food industry.
We have three plants in the Boyertown area hiring 350 enployees, one plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania hiring 72 people and two locations out of the state which have 48 employees for a cor-porate total of 470.
Our electric cost this year for 10 months is $132,000.00 greater than the same 10 months in 1979 Although we budgeted a reasonaole increase, we are still 389,000.00 over our budget.
There has been a 38.1". increase in KWH costs during this period.
These costs only reflect the increases in our three Boyertown locations which are serviced by Metropolitan Edison Company.
Trying to run a profitable business with such unwarranted increases and make a profit is extremely difficult.
Since the energy rising costs at other locations were mild concerning these increases, one begins to wonder whether expanding in this l
area is a wise choice.

I understand that Met Ed could control their increases far better j f D1I 1 was back in operation.
I reali::e there are many and difficult questions concerning the whole Three Mile Island
. situation, however, this is one specific action that could be taken.
I firmly feel that something must be done to remove the burden on industries in our area if it is to survive and prosper.
I sincerely hope you will do all you can to bring this about in the near future.
Very truly yours, 30YERTOWN PACKAG~'!G CORP.
