The new plan was designed to
save tires and automotive equip
ment and will affect approximately
$500 users of district light and
power. The plan will go into effect
in the Calipatria, Westmorland,
Brawley, and Imperial divisions
with the September meter reading
date and in the Holtville, El Centre
and Calexico areas with the Octo-
ber reading date.
Success of the plan in other
Rural Electrification AdminiStra-
ton projects in the United States
led district officials to put it into
effect here.
Farmers will not have to take q
course in meter reading in order
to do their part in the tire-equip-
ment saving plan Each month a
postage prepaid, self-addressed me-
ter reading card will be sent the
farmer. All he has to do is mark
the position of the hands on his
meter on the corresponding dials on
the card mailed him, and drop it III
a mail box. The cost will be COM
puted and the farmer will receive
u bill as usual.
If cards are not returned or are
received too late, an estimated bill
based on the average consumption
will be issued At the time the reg
ular district crews read the meters,
is was pointed out errors in read
ing for estimated bills will be ad-
justed.
BY this system the district oil
ficials estimated they will eliminate
the necessity of the approximately
800 miles necessary to read rural
meters every month
