CallBWreOrdertqUertiere bight Changes The Town Council last Monday night on the recommendation of the Fire fright Committee adopted some new regulations which will in crease the cost of light to consumers instead of the universal adoption of meters The decision is based on the present actual revenue Onethird of the en tire installation is now on the meter system and is equal to lamps producing an annual revenue of 1036 If the same lamps were on the flat system the revenue would lie The average rate per year per lamp paid on the meter system is SI while if the same lights were on the flat rates the price would ho each per year The average rate paid per lamp on the flat system is The committee fear that if a universal meter system was adopt ed and everybody was as economical as those who have meters at present that the revenue would not pay ex penses at the rale of per watts which is the price now charg ed That is one way of looking at it hut probably onequarter of the lights installed on the meter system would been taken only for thj prospect paying simply for what is used at the same time be Some of the stores have of lamps- hat wanted more light but a better distribution If Wish their many friends a XlttB and A HAPPY AND PROS PEROUS NEW YEAR Studio open both Xmas and New Years days Youre Invited To See Never asked to buy Youre requested to put our work

strongly advo cate the meter system everybody to for what and the a years trial the revenue was not sufficient to meet the exenditurir and a reasonable sinking for wear and ear there is J a user of the light hut would be willing to pay an increased rate An change in fie work ing of the Hat system is proposed Which is but just All users on the fiat are to have new Instead of basing the rate on the total number of installed premises it Is to be on the basis so many 18 lamps Three eights count the same as For every lamp that burns all night extra per annum will be charged If users burn more light than appears to he reasonable by the Committee they will be required to put in meters within after being notified by thd Inspector or the wires will cut A minimum charge of per lamp pec month to be made on alt users of light by meter This we object to It is all right to make a minimum charge of per light per year or even for that be cause every user of the convenience- should pay a reasonable interest on transformers and street wires which have to be kept in repair- To make it payable monthly will affect every who uses a meter for two or three months In the ysar Take the editors residence for instance The cost for July and was 38c tbe house being of time The new regulation will a cost of 1160 whether the light is used or not This Is exceed ingly as It Is only in the long hummer days that users by meter can get any advantage We have paid over for the December while the rate would be only 1S6 Roches have paid as as for light in All the churches will be increased by the new regulation We hope the Council will reconsider this item and make it per annum instead of month and everybody will be satisfied Mama Now Willy say your pray er Willy Clans wont get here fore get
