Meter Pricing For Electric Plant Could Stabilize Revenue
Council weighs moving from a lamp rate of 20 cents per 16 candle power to a meter based system. Consumers with many lamps fear high bills, while large users favor meters and a minimum charge to guarantee income. Experts say meter rates can be more profitable and fair, and a special meeting may fix a remedy to prevent losses to the electric plant. Local notes record residents Warren and James fishing, James Smith heading to Harrisburg for the state convention, pastor changes, Loyal Temperance Legion activity, and county superintendent Swarts attendance.
