WILL PROTECT
The CITY

The council committee on city
lights and lighting is struggling
with the problem Of fixing rates 10
BE- charged for municipal light and
power. The question IL a complex
one. and. although the committee
has already determined that Il can
sell the current far moree heapiy
than the local private companies,
except where the latter are cutting
too low TO make a profit. Il is per
piened TO know on Just what basis
Il can establish equitable rates for
both the large aud small consumer.
The private companies have been
In the habit of giving low prices TO
the large consumers. particularly In
the manufacturing district where
competition between the Seattle
Electric and Seattle Tacoma Power
companies has been keen. and
mulctinr the small consumers out
side the radius OF competition 10
proxidef or the deficit.
The city IL trying 10 fix a scale
By which consumers will be fur
nished light and power in exactly
proportion 90 the cost, but whether
81 shall be done By a flat rate. by an
arbitrary sliding scale. or by peak
load" IL not known.
II possible. the council wants 70
establish such a basis OF rates that
the small consumer viii be FUR
niAhed hls light az a minimum price
One plan IL 10 give frugal persons
the benefit OF their economy in
burning lights during only certain
hours Of the night. Thus. persons
who burn few lights but many
hours will get them cheaper than
those who burn many lights only a
few hours Discounts OF from 10 TO
no per cent will be given In proper
ton 10 the number OF hours Of con-
sumption. a person using his lights
for eight hours a day getting his
light twice aR cheap as one burning
his lights only one hour a day.
Thus. while one consumer would be
obliged TO pay 10 cents kilowatt.
another would only have 70 pay 3
cents
The object OF this is TO minimize
the size Of the maximum. OF peak
load. carried by the plant The ca
paclty of the plant In measured by
the maximum load carried In day.
and the smaller this load can be
kept. the more consumers can be
furnished and the cheaper can be
the price. For this reason. the city
will encourage the use OF power
during the daytime. as the power
would otherwise be wasted. Rates
will probably rangef rom five TO
seven cents per kilowatt for power.
a reduction being made for consum-
ers using in excess OF motors of
more than ten horse power. As
with the lighting rates. a reduction
OF from 10 90 SO per cent may be
made 10 consumers carrying their
load for a large number OF hours.
