CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE ..
HOME POWER COMPANY
The incresaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Home Power e mpany to install a meter system
and a continuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this compauy has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, tor which meter the consumer made a cash de
posit.
In all cities the meter system is used, and a cash deposit
is required by the company furnishiug same. The deposit
r:-..from $3.00 to $10.i-6, and iu some towns in Alaska,
is :-s high as $15.00.
The Home Power compauy will not 'require a deposit on me
ters, and no charge will be made at this time for the installa
tion of the same.
Xor will any change be .ivade in the present meter rates,
which are as follows: —
Minimum rate for one ligli*> per month, $1.00. for two or
more lights, per mouth $2.00.
iU'te per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale i.-w Kilowatt
xor large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of ihe Heme 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, tiu-t during the
summer mouths 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, and can use such elc-ctrical ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters. Percolators, Vacuum Clean
ers. &c. 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 w ill carry a full iine of up to date
electrical home devices, all of which will be sold at a small per
centage above actual cost.
These having receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can have money refunded upon presentation of
the same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way.

4. The ease with which some of
Miose "has-beens" fanned out -when
at bat, and the sang frold with
which they fumbled balls
in the diamond and on

About the 1st of June a greatly
inil roved service for the furnishing
cf electricity to its patrons will
be instituted by the Heme Power
Co., which, at a meeting of the
board of directors the other day,
decided to do away with the flat
rate and install a complete meter
system. It has been realized by
the company for a long time that
the flat rate now in vogue has not
worked equitably to all of the con
sumers of electricity and it is part
ly lo remedy this equality of taxa
tion and inequality of consumption
that the present movement is aimed.
Furthermore, there is a growing de
mand by tbe patrons for a continu
ous day service, which will enable
people who have installed electri
cal devices in their homes to use
all the electricity. they. may desire
at an established rate per kilowatt
after they have consumed the mini
mum quantity. To change the flat
