Goes Into Effect
At Carolina Power

A new system of bi-monthly
meter reading has been initiated
by the Carolina Power and Light
Company. Letters were being
mailed this week to customers
throughout the area informing
them of the change in policy.
I'VE are striving to MAIN

economy move to cut expenses
and preserve our present rate

Actually the system is now
new to Carolina Power and
Light since it has been in the
process of changing all OF It's
divisions for about a year
Whiteville's division of CP&L
has completed the change.
Customers will continue to re-
ceive bills each month but only
once every two months will the
bill show any figures under the
''mcter readings Use" During
the month the meter is not read
the bill will be a partial one
based on prior use. The billing
during the month the number of
kilowattS used is recorded will
be for the entire two months
with the partial payment de-
Quoted.
I'VE are not estimating any
ones bill and no one will pay
for anymore service than they
have received" said one of the
spokesman for the company.
An example of the new sys-

in the neighborhood Of $40 per
month then your bill during
the month Of non-readings will
be for $40. When the meater Is

record shows you have used

be happy to supply dogwoOds
for anyone who would call
her.
Truth of the matter Is that
the type probably got a bit
garbled cause Mrs. Truitt said
today that she didn't have any
dOgwoOds to give away. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Truitt the
response was terrific with calls
for all kinds of dogwOods

trouble was that she hadn't
