CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The iiKVflsaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Home Power c- mpany to install a meter system
urnl a continuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, for 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 furnishiLg same. The deposit
ra:.gvs from $5.09 to $10.10, and in some towns in Alaska,
is >'S high as $15.00.
The Home Tower company will not require a deposit on me
ters, and no charge will be made at this time for the installa
tion of the same.
Nor will any change be made in the present meter rates,
which are as follow*: —
.Minimum rate for one ligh*., per month, $1.00. for two or
more lights, per mouth $2.00.
Hate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale ter Kilowatt
for 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
t.i>.e of the continuous syBtem.
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, and can use such electrical 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 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 cost.
Those having receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can h?vo money refunded upon presentation of
t,:e same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way.
