This saving will be effected in two ways: first, through a. reduction in the rate to Sc. 7c, 5c and 3c [net] per kilowatt- hour, according to the amount of electricity used; second, by computing the firat rate, second rate and third rats kilowatt-hours on the number of rooms, instead of on the number of sockets which has been the practice heretofore. The new rate is a more trimplifUd form of charge for elec- tricity. Since the number of sockets is not considered in the computation of charges, residential customers may have an unlimited number of outlets for increasing lighting facilities and ior using an unlimited number of ordinary domestic appliances. Bills will be computed on the basis of the num- ber of rooms and the number of kilowatt-hours consumed. A residential survey has been made to determine the t umber of rooms upon which the charges will be based. The Company will from time to time continue to make such surveys in order to keep accurate records of the number of rooms. ' The new rate schedule does not cancel the old rate for residential service. Should any customer, after trying the new rate, be disposed to have his charges computed under the old rate, the Company wig do so upon request, pro- viding the request is made bef " February l, 1931.
