LIGHT COMPANY
ON METER BASIS
FLAT RATE WILL BE ABOLISHED
IN COLUMBIA WITHIN A
FEW DAYS.

Within a few days patrons OF the
Columbia Water & Light Company
will begin to pay for their lights on
the meter basis. This will be quite
an Innovation in this city for the peop.e
have so long been accustomed to pay
ing for the lights on the nat basis, 50
being the usual price paid regardless
of the number Of lights used. But the
company has recently installed meters
and will begin the new system, If pos
sible. about August 1. As near that
date as possible the meter reading
will be made and the bills for that
month charged under the new system.
During the past three months, since
the company decided to abolish the
fiat rate plan and try the meter sys-
tenn, there have been about $50 meters
installed at an estimated cost of not
far from $4,000 But the company
will doubtless make money by the
new system. There will be fewer
lights burning and the cost for fuel
alone will be enough less to consti-
tute a big saving.
The rate on the meters will be 1915
cents per kilowat hours with dis
count of 20 per cent for cash. The
meter rent will cost thirty-five cents.
The company has not yet established
minimum rate, but it is probable
that this will be done before the sys-
tenn goes into effect 1t is altogether
probable that the minimum rate viii
be fixed at 81 per month, which will
include both current and meter.
The announcement that the COM
pany will install the meter system is
being received with varying degrees
of expressions of opinion By many
it is believed that with a lessened
load on the plant better lights will be
obtained. 1t is also argued that new
system will be much more fair and
equitable than the old plan, for under
the meter plan, one pays, in theory
at least, only for what he uses. On
the other hand there are a large num-
Der of citizens who have no conf
dence in the veracity of a light meter
and they are alarmed lest their bills
under that plan will go to an unreas-
enable amount
The meters will be read on the
the book-keepers will have time to
make out the bill by the first of the
month. The first bills under the new
plan will be from Aug. to Aug %
and thereafter from the twenty -thirQ
to the twenty-third
