The honest man and the dishonest man alike are fixing it‘on their homes, and they are doing it unwillingly. They have to pay for the privilege and have to do so irrespective of their honesty or dishonesty. The good and bad If users do’n’t understand this we’ll try to explain it. W'hatever current you use during the underpeak period costs the town absolutely nothing, and does- n’t cost any more than when the town is getting its biggest 103i. By using the underpeak current you help to enrich the town with- out impoverishing yourself. Use all the electricity you can advantage, but don’t waste and feel hurt when you have pay for it. Learn how to read your metres. and a few. days before the collect- or comes around set your month’s electric money to one side and pm: the bill promptly. You get ten per cent for prompt payment. Per- haps it won’t be much but it might buy a half] oaf of bread, lust but a half loaf of bread, lust think about it. If you have any of the old-fash- ioned carbon lamps around the house through them at your neigh- bors chickens in the back yard. and be sure you break them; the lamps we mean, not the chickens The old fashioned lamps use be- tween two and- three times as much. current as the Tungsten’s to give the same light. It will save money to throw them away. They are too expensive and not particularly ornamental, so get ri-i of them at once. the same time help to increase the revenue. The town pays by the horsepower for the heaviest peak load of any consecutive twenty minutes during the month. It makes no difference what the registration may be for the rest 0! the month, our payments are based on the peak. The heavy load to the town now is when the lights are on. During the any the load is very light, almost no~ thing. If the women use 41! their domestic appliances, toasters electric irons, cookers, and other articles that are sure to ‘come to the homes. If they use these, we say. when the heavy load is being delivered they increase the cost to the town, and reduce the revenue that would otherwise be a benefit to the town as a whole. and yet it is no particular gain to the users. Therefore we advise househoiders. time, and everybody should feel it a duty to help as much as possible by keeping dowa the electrical ex- penditure of the town and at If a ten watt lamp will ~30 just as well as a sixty Watt, use the ten watt. It takes less current and costs less for maintenance. Things have changed, and we must change accordingly to suit the circumstances, hence the need of helps and hints for the handling of hydro. To learn economy is necessary in war You don’t need a light to sleep by. therefore turn out all your bed-room lights and all other lights during your sleeping hours. It will cost you less, and economy appeals to everybody. If you find it economy to use electricity for domestic‘ purposes use it, and use lots of it, but use it at such times as the town load is light. For your own benefit, keep two lights burning will do just as well. The idea of the elecfric current being weighed or measured is a new thing ‘here. We have always had it on the flat rate, and the principle was always a wrong one Many places had a scarcity___ of lights, because the addition of extras caused an additional cost of 1 so much per light whether they‘ were used or not. Now the cur- rent is being measured out and we pay for what we get. By the old method we got all we could. whether we needed it or not, and paid for the outlets irrespective of how much came out of them. Not to use domestic appliances at night if the same can be used inst as well in the day time. .
