CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The incwsaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Horn* Power c- nipauy to install a meter system
and a continuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity *t their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING MFTERR, 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 furuishiig same. The deposit
reuges from $5.0# to $10.' 0 and in some towns in Alaska,
is i'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 same.
N'or will any chause be .iwde in the present meter rates,
which are hs follows: —
Minimum rate for one lign*. per month, $l.0u. tor two or
more lights, per month $2.MO.
Hate pel- Kilowatt, 10 ce:tts. A sliding scale i<m- Kilowatt
tor Urge cousunier» is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Power company to in
crease the coet to the consumer, but to place all consumers
on a standard basis, so that eoch may be able to take advan
tage of the cootinaous 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 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 minimun! charge.
The day service will be turned on about June Is*.
The Home Power rompanv will carry a full iiue of up to date
electrical home devl es, all of which will be sold at a small per
rentage above artual cos-t.
Those havin» receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can have money refunded upon presentation of
t.ie same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way.
