Eastern Power Company Works Out Table OF Alternative
Methods Based on Number of Customers Fer
Mile go Successful Thus Far

companies have felt that they must
charge higher rate per kilowatt hour
than obtains in the cities or that they
must have service charge in addi-
ton to so much per kilowatt hour for
all electricity used. The Adirondack
Company believes that with rates on
the farm as low as they are In the
city the farmer can economically use
considerable energy and that this
abundant use of service will make IT
possible for the company to extend its
lines to serve farm customers.
One OF the greatest obstacles In
present day farm electriication is that
when an extension is desired not all
the residents along the proposed line
will agree to share the expense. Then
after few have assumed the expense
and the line is installed, the others
viii ask for service and there is no
way to compel them to assume a pro
portional share of the installation cost
Under this new plan. say. four farm
ers to the mile may desire electric
