Lindsay’ 5 Poultry and If you, sit, with your immense influence, are prepared to back as up in this agitation, as I feel satisfied you are. we will not. have labored in vain- We only want what is right and a square deal, and, if I am any judge of mutterings, the people of this town are going to have it. Yours truly, Another is the outrageous rates charged for small quantities of power. A firm using 50 horse-power gets it for $20 per h.p., a very reasonable rate, but a firm using 2 hp. pays $45 per h.p. The excuse given is that each has to have a transformer. Well, let us see how it works. The smaller man pays $50 per year extra for his 2 h.p. What does the transformer cost? How many times a year does he pay for it and still not own it? Suppose it costs the full $50 (and $15 is more like it) what a splendid investment transformers must be for the company. I see Peterboro, that has power right at its door, is asking the Hy- dro Electric Commission for rates, if necessary from Niagara. What is the matter with Lindsay doing the same?‘ I believe the mere asking of the question, officially, would cut the small users rates in two and take a shaving off the big ones. The user has to invest from $150 up in a motor. He must neces- sarily get a motor a little over what he actually needs, so that if he re- quires six, seven or eight horse~pow er, he would buy a ten horse-power motor. But instead of only paying for what he uses, he pays for the limit of the motor; and if he closes down for a week, or a month, or a year, unless he is disconnected, he is compelled to pay the limit, even if the company knows that the pow er is not being used. I have heard it dubbed by people in this very town as highway robbery. and I do not know that it is very far from the truth. The company absolutely refuses to sell power by metre because they know that the users here are “easy” and must have it, and can’t get it anywhere else just at present. This is one feature of this business that must be righted. “What are You Going to do About it P” asks L.H. P. Co. . It is in the power part of the programme, however, that the com- pany fails to do justiceâ€"J would say act just on the edge of sharp practice. They own’t sell light other than by metre, but they refuse to sell power by metre. Why? The reason is plain. His parting shot was that if they would take some of their profits and improve their system, instead of putting them in their-pockets, it would suit the users better, and all users will agree with him.

He went on to 58;} thth they had tried every thing, but to no pu rposeâ€"the company simply grinned and, paregorically speaking, asked “What are you going to do about it ,9 The complaints about the quality of the light are more to the point. I happened in one store on Saturday night; where they use a very large quantity of light, and the proprietor called my attention to its miserable quality; and it must be confessed that it was pretty bum The Editor of The Free Press, Lindsay: Sir,â€"â€"in regard to what might be termed the "eccentricities" of the local Light, Heat and Power Co.. with your permission and that of your readers, I will take up one or two points that. to most peoples’ minds, require some explanation on the part of the company. 1 might say that there is lots of advice and bushels oi neWS coming our way, so much so that several lawyers could put up a pretty good brie! from the material. There are a lot of complaints made, however, that, to do the company justice, will not hold water. For instance, a great many. complaints have come to hand of the excessive charges for light, with a suggestion that a flat rate would be preferable. I am not in a position to say whether we are paying too much for light or not, but I am strongly in favor of every thing of that nature being sold by metre. Some years ago when we had fiat rates, it was no unusual sight to see lights burning all day and all night, summer and winter, simply because the users thought they were get- ting it for nothing. The fact that they were burning out more lamps than was necessary, did not seem to cut any ice. A flat rate in any- thing breeds looseness and waste, and most people will be wasteful if they are not held in. We see that amply exemplified in the water sys- tem of any place, where a very large part of the revenue comes from metre users, but all the waste occurs where there are no metres.
