A PREMIUM ON WASTE.

Why the sale of electricity has not
conformed to the modern methods of
measure in Milford seems to date to be
a "tabooed" and misunderstood subject
Electricity should be treated as a com
mercial article, and the so-ealled Flat
Rate" system in vogue in Milford has
been discarded by every modern town
and city throughout the country. 1t
appears clear by the Flat Rate" charge
that when A burns twice the number Of
hours of light more than B, at the same
cost per month is selling current based
on law of average, a poor business
basis. Then too, are consumers to be
denied the use of present day necessities
by the Light and Water Commission,
such as electric flat-irons, heaters, stoves
and vacuum cleaners, or power purposes,
and warned against the purchase of
electrical equipment elshwhere that the
L. & w. G. sanction. Who shall dictate
to those who pay, and of what benefit
and value is town ownership? Let US
have meters and pay for what we use,
and stop this useless waste and give
measure to all alike.
