Should Not Rent Meters

The statement of Rev. E. E. Phil
lips the other evening that the
charging of rental on meters by the
electric and gas companies is an un-
reasonable practice appeals to us as
sensible. Firms using from twenty
to fifty dollars worth of electricity
a month certainly should not be
mulcted for a rental on the meter
used to measure their product.
Neither should a family who uses
enough gas in the warm months to
warrant the installation of a gas
stove be compelled to pay fifty ceLts
a month rental for a stove it is not
using. With the twenty-five cent
meters installed in a house the gas
company is sure to be paid in ad-
vance for all the gas used and that
should be enough. If it is not no
gas should be installed.
OF course these two companies
will charge rental as long as the
public submits to paying it but if
the patrons care enough about it .
refuse to pay there will be an al
justment. The public has an OPP
portunity now to protect itself. The
New York corporation which has
purchased the electric light bust
ness seeks a change in it's charter
so it can buy the gas plant and COM
bine the two businesses. The au-
thorities who have control of this
matter should allow no change
whatever in the charter until a
more equitable system of providing
meters has been installed.
