ELECTRIC LIGHT CHARGES
On the subject of electric light charges "Statistics" seeks the following information :—(1) How many customers per annum pay under each of the tables A, B, C, D, E, and F ? (2) Is any current for electric light sold under any other method of payment, and, if so, how much ? (3) What are the separate amounts received per annum under each of the tables A, B, C, D, E, and F? The correspondent states that until such information is available it is impossible to study the question and suggest improvements. He outlines the various charges made under the different tables, and concludes :—"One wonders why postage stamps are not sold on this kind of. weird sliding scale, where the small consumers' have to carry the baby as usual. If the proposed reduction of Id per unit is restricted to Table A, there would be some sense in the proposal." On inquiry a Post reporter was informed that the department does not keep a record which would supply the information asked for.
