ilton, located on North Third Street op-
posite the generating. plant of the City
of Hamilton, hereinafter referred to as
the point of delivery"
Cd All electrical energy supplied
hereunder shall be measured at the point
of delivery both as to maximum demand
and kiowatt hours by suitable meters
to be furnished installed and maintained
by and at the expense of The Cincinnati
Gas & Electric Company, on the primary
or high voltage side of the transformers
owned by the City of Hamilton.
(e) All meters SO furnished and in
stalled shall be of standard type and
manufacture.
f) In the event either The Cincinnati
Gas & Electric Company the City of
Hamilton shall at any time believe that
any meter registers incorrectly, the
party holding such belief shall have the
right to request that a test be made of
such meter. The party desiring such test
shall make request therefor in writing
upon the other party, and thereupon
such meter shall be tested and calibrat-
ed, and if it is found inaccurate it shall
be restored to an accurate condition,
a new meter shall be substituted. Any
meter tested and found to be not more
than two per cent (2qo) above or below
normal shall be considered to be correct
and accurate. If as a result of any test
any meter is found to register in excess
of two per cent (2%o) either above or be-
meter previously taken shall be correct
ed according to the percentage of mac
curacy so found, but no such correction
shall extend back beyond thirty days
previous to the day which such mac
curacy is discovered by such test; and in
case during such previous thirty days
prior test of such meter shall have been
made and found to be correct, or to be
registering within two per cent (2%c) of
normal, or in case after such prior test
such meter shall have been made to
register correctly then the correction
of the readings of such meter shall not
extend back beyond the date of such
prior test
If test of any meter shall be made
at the request of the City of Hamilton,
with the result that such meter shall be
found to register correctly or within
two per cent eco of normal the City
of Hamilton shall bear the expense of
such test The expense of all other tests
shall be borne by The Cincinnati Gas 81
Electric Company.
(g) For each month during the term
of the contract The Cincinnati Gas &
Electric Company agrees it shall stand
ready to supply and deliver $500 kilo-
volt amperes.
(a) The City Of Hamilton agrees to
and shall pay The Cincinnati Gas &
Electric Company monthly for all cleo
trical energy supplied under the con-
tract at the rates and charges, and upon
the terms and conditions contained in
the following schedule:
Demand Charge
month for first 300 kilovolt
amperes Of maximum de-
1S0 per kilovolt ampere per
month for next 500 kilovolt
amperes of maximum de-
10 per per, kilovolt ampere per
month for all over 500 kilo-
volt amperes of maximum
demand.
SOC per kilowatt hour for electri-
cal energy used in the month
equivalent to or less than 120
kiloWatt hours per kilovolt
amperes of maximum de-
mand.
Energy Charge
soc per kilowatt hour for electri-
cal energy used in the month
equivalent to less than
next 120 kilowatt hours per
kilovolt ampere of maximum
demand
45c per kilowatt hour for electri-
cal energy used in the month
in excess of 240 kiloWatt
hours per kilovolt ampere of
demand
The energy charges shall be in
creased or decreased seven thou
sandths OF one cent (007c)) for
each increase or decrease of ten
i cents (10c) in the average
cost of coal, corrected to
heating value of fourteen thou
sand one hundred Q410o) British
Thermal Units per pound dry,
above $500 or below $3.50 per ton
delivered in the raw coal bunkerS
in boiler room or pulverizing room
Of generating plants in which the
energy is produced. In the case of
coal that has been in storage as
reserve against shortage, the coal
| cost shall include all unloading,
storage reloading, switching and
other charges incurred in main
tanning a sufficient supply of coal
to insure the supply of electrical
energy hereunder. The average
cost of coal shall be determined
by averaging the cost Of coal de-
livered during the previous month
with the cost of coal on hand at
the beginning of such month. No
increase or decrease except in
units of ten cents (l0c) shall be
considered. All charges based
/ upon such determination shall be
applicable to all bills rendered
covering electrical energy sup
piled during the next succeeding
month.
Determination of Maximum Demand
The maximum demand shall be
measured monthly at the point of
delivery and viii be the amount of
electrical energy equivalent to the
maximum llilovolt ampere average
over a period of fifteen (15) con-
Secutive minutes. The maximum
demand used for billing purposes
for any month in which electrical
energy shall be used shall be the
measured maximum demand, but
not less than seventy per cent
(70Gc) of the highest maximum
/ demand established during the
preceding twelve Q2) months,
and not less than 1900 kilovolt
ampereS
Minimum Monthly Charge
The minimum monthly charge
shall be the demand charge based
upon the maximum demands as
hereinabove provided.
(b) As soon as practicable after the
end of each month The Cincinnati Gas
& Electric Company shall render bill
to the City of Hamilton, Ohio, for cleo
trieal energy supplied during such
month and the City of Hamilton
shall pay said bill within ten (0) days
after the rendition thereof. If bills are
not paid on or before ten (10) days from
the date thereof, The Cincinnati Gas &
Electric Company may add and collect
an additional charge of five per cent
/ (5eo) of the amount of such monthly
bill. Should the City of Hamilton fail or
refuse to pay any monthly bills as
| aforesaid, The CINCINNATI Gas & Electric
Company shall have the right to discon-
tinue for that reason the supply of cleo
| tra to Ne cl1nn1ied
