ELECTRIC TARIFF

THE NEW SCHEDULE „. '•'; / The- new domestic tariff for electric / ; heating appliances and electric ranged as far as the bi-monthly Headings are . concerned, is in operation at present,; whilst those on what is known as the ' "demand rate," for which quarterly; accounts are rendered, will operate as from Ist November. . It should be explained that A'tho charges thai arg '' superseding the old tariff dispense with:, the fluctuating amount of power al- . lowable at a certain rate for each' month of the year, replacing- it with a fixed average charge the year through, so that.. the change will mean a-sim-plification of the accounts at head office, the handling of which hitherto''1 ■ has been, rather an involved business.
