Mr. Hartley of Delaware, , where the Hydro was installed a few months ago, is delighted with the service, and pleased with the ' moderate cost so far. The rectory ' there contains 2,000 square feet floor space, and this. at the fixed rate of 3 cents per 100 square feet, makes a fixed and uncon- trollable expenditure of 60 cents a month, whether the current is used or not. He has 19 burners, controlled by seven switches, and these lights have been used when necessary. His total light .bill, in- cluding floor space, for the first month was 92 cents. for the sec0nd and third months 86 :cents each, and for the fourth month $1.30. On enquiring about the increased (éost ifor the fourth month we learned; that an electric iron :had been in- troduced and Was used four times during the month. The rate paid is 6 cents per kilowat hour to. domestic users, and the rate - . 13. higher than we expect to pay; here as the population is not over, seven or eight hundred, and the.I ! . I I The wiring in the Delaware rec-t !tory is all concealed, and the work Epnd material, including switches, and fuse box, amounted to aboutf $42, but the total expenditure forf installation, electroliers and ‘ other fixtures, came to more then; $100. The controllable outlayu however, has nothing to do with? the question, and may {be high or. low, at the discretion lot the pur-g: ”Aim Mr. Thos McGirr's farm. adver- tised a couple of weeks in The Chronicle, was negotiated for af- ter the first insertion, and dispos- ed of after its second appearance.
