CHARGE FOR ELECTRICITY.
The contracts which the Virginia Pas.
senger and Power Company require from
the users Of electricity for lighting and
power purposes In this city have created
some dissatisfaction. The provisions OF
the contracts are not attractive to the
public, and the matter has created much
interest. The clauses in reference to
a minimum charge of 81 a month for
horse power for motors and 81 month
for light installation, whether the current
to that amount in either case Is used or
not ore those against which there are
most protests.
General Manager HUFF, Of the Virginia
Passenger and Power Company who was
here to-day, said the users of electricity
will be given sufficient time to test the
meter system before signing the con-
tracts. and that Mr.. Harycll. the man
ager in this city will be Left free to make
the minimum charge what shall seem an
equitable one after sufficient test has
been made.
