THEY HAVE A "CINCH."
The Electric Light Company Raises the Cost
10 Consumers.

Merchants and others who have been
using electric lights in stores. dwellings
etc. have received the following notice
from the Helena Power and Light COM
pany:
From and after Jan. /, 1895, We viii
resume our former custom (and one
which Is almost universal with light
ing companies everywhere and charge
for incandescent lamps. We keep in
stock the very best lamps made, aud
charge 40 cents for each lamp OF sixteen
candle power, being actual cost OF
same"
The notice caused considerable COM
ment among consumers, and II was not
OF the pleasantest sort. Heretofore the
company has had man employed To
visit the places using electric lights.
and where he found one burned out cor
useless he would replace 1t with a new
one. The services of this man were dis
pensed with some time ago, but con-
sumers could still have useless lamps
replaced by applying at the compuny's
office, where their wants were supplied.
Forty cents for an incandescent lamp
may appear like small matter, but II
means a lot to those who use electric
lights. The average duration OF service
Of an tncandeScent lamp Is given as
about sixty days. The general average
is said To be not much over thirty days.
A small store which uses ten lights will
have TO pay after Jan. from s. TO 81
extra month 10 keep supplied with
Tampa For light SO far there has been
no notice Of an advance In rates.
TO those using electricity as mo-
tive power. notices have been sent that
the rates will be increased on and after

from so To ib0 pcr cent according to the
