CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
05 THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The iuci'etaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Ho&e Power c jnpany to install a meter system
and a coutiuuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, tor which meter the consumer made a cash de
posit.
In ail cities the meter system is used, and a cash deposit
is required by the company furnishii g same. The deposit
raises from $5.00 to $10.10, aud in some towns in Alaska,
is .u high as $15.00.
The Home Power company will not require a deposit on me
ters, ;uid no charge will be made at this time for the installa
tion of the same.
Nor will any change he made iu the present meter rates,
which are as follows: —
-Minimum rate for one light, per mouth, $1.00, Cor two or
more lights, per month $2.00.
Rate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale ver Kilowatt
for large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Powej 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 durftig the
summer months the average home will not use 20 Kilowatt
ho;:'s for lighting purposes, which is the amount of the mini
mum c'.'.arge, but with the continuous service the cousumer
has the privilege of using electrical appliances at any hour
of the day or night, nnd can use such ctc-ctrical ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters, Percolators, Vacuum Clean
ers. This will give the consumer the opportunity of using
up 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 deviccs, all of which will be sold at a small per
centage above actual cost.
Those having receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can h?v» money refunded upon presentation of
tue same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way.
