OF RATES CHARGED
Electric Light Meters i'm Gooding
Run Strong on Current.

The Great Shoshone Twin Falls
Light and Power company have a
bunch of electric meters in Gooding
that run away occasionally and when
tn December bills arrived this week
there was indignation meetings held
in all parts of the city.
E. T. Barber of the Leader Build
ing company claims that the light
bill for the building which is upon
a separate meter entirely from the
Leader Publishing company was $40
for the two months.
Mr.. Parks of the Idaho Rooming
House claims that S12.OO is the price
of electricity for lighting purposes in
dwelling for the month.
Several other residents have rates
running from $1,000 to $500 per
month
The Leaders light bill for the
month was $1,000, but across the
street in Smith Brothers Hardware
store where the windows were illu-
minated during the holiday season
from o'clock p. mp. until midnight
their light bill was less than the min
imum amount which the company
charges per month.
The First National Bank bill was
in the neighborhood of $50.
The officials of the power com
pany are all fine men and apparent
ly will do any thing within their
power to relieve the situation. and
give justice to everyone, but the fact
still remains that the system at this
place needs some attention by their
experts for the bills rendered for
the service are not only outrageous
ly high. but are ridiculous in every
extreme.
The power company has invested
many thousand dollars in Lincoln
county. but there is no reason why
the town of Gooding should pay the
entire operating expenses Of the com
pany.
The Leader has no desire to pose
as a kicker against Southern Idaho,
but we believe that the Great Sho-
shone & Twin Falls light and uower
company has made a great mistake
in making out their rate chedule.
No legitimate business in the state
that uses less than Is horse power
can exist under the schedule as adopt
ed by this company.
