1 Electricity,', that great power
which has transformed the mode of
living for thousands in recent years,
which has to a very great extent lif t-

homes have electric refrigerators,

Unfortunttely.M Hertford house-
keenen have never been able to en
joy the full benefit of electricity be
cause of the high rate at which cur
rent is sold here. Such sower con
suming conveniences as stoves and
ranges, anything which requires
mneh current, is out of the Question-
Hertford people have to keep their
current consumption low.
It sroes without sayine that the
Ritimtinn in irksome. What house
keeper does not long for the comfort
and convenience of cooking by elec
tricity? The question arises, - why
is the rate so hisrh in Hertford?
Well, the answer is that the town
Ant Tint. Hare tftlcft ' A. , chance of los
ing any portion of its revenue. Every
cent is necessary at the present time
to carry on.
But it has been suggested, and
t.nnnt nnnenrs to be food for thought
in the suggestion,' that if an induce
ment is made to power consumers by
way at a reduction in the rate, more
current will be sold, that there will
be a greater volume in business, a
bigger turnover. In other words,
that business wul increase to the ex
tent that the profit derived from the
sale of the additional amount of cur?
rent will take care of the reduction

Some of the best business minds of
the town take this view of the mat

worthy of consideration by the town
