In the majority of cases the amount to be paid by the consumer will be less than the flat rate. This is due to the elimination of waste on the .part of consumers and to the use of tungsten lights. The residents of (he-ekst part of town are still on the flat rate, as all the meters are not yet .installed, but they do not have the day -current. Superintendent thinks the revenue this 'month will fail that of former months, owing to the use of meters.
