CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The ineresaed demand of our patrons lor a day service has *3
prompted the Home Power c mpanv to install a meter eyBtom ^
.u'.j a continuous service, which will enable consumers to j
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST- **
ING METERS, for which m-ner the consumer made a cash de- •!
posit.
In all cities the meter system is used, and a cash deposit
is required by the company furnishh.g same. The deposit
ra. get; from $5.0t> to $10.v0, and iu some towns in Alaska,
is :*s high as $15.00.
The Home Power company will not 'require a deposit on me
ters, and no charge will be made at this time for the Installa
tion of the sajne. :<■; ?t«! 3
Nor will any change be .nade in the present meter rates,
which are as follows: —
Minimum rate for one Ugh*, per mouth, $100. for two or
more lights, per mouth $2.t>0.
Kate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale tier Kilowatt
tor large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Power company to In
crease the cost to the consumer, but to place all consumers
on a standard basis, so that each may be able to take advan
tage of the continuous system.
The Home Power company further realizes, that during the
summer months the average home will not use 20 Kilowatt
hours for lighting purposes, which is the amount of the mini
mum charge, but with the continuous service the consumer
has the privilege of using electrical appliances at any hour
of the day or night, nnd cau use such clc-ctrical ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters, Percolators, Vacuum Clean
ers, &c. This will give the consumer the opportunity of using
uii the full amount of the minimum charge.
The day service will be turned on about June 1st.
The Home Power company will carry a full line of up to date
electrical home devices, all of which will be sold at a»small per
centage above actual coit.
Those having receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can have money refunded upon presentation of
t.;e same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way. -
