Since we changed our system to tho 00 cycle" current which our new ap paratus generates, havo discovered that some of our meters, p rticularly ono type of Westinghouso meter, nro running too fast. Tho adjustment provided by the factory seems not to give tho proper compensation for tho altered currant, and to standardize them will require a test of all our me ters, which cannot easily bo done with out day sorvico. We aro now install ing n new engine for this purpose and expect to bo operating a 24 hour sor vico by April 1st, and we proposo to then make n careful test of all meters in use. Whatever per cent of inacur- acy develops, if in the customers' favor, will be placed to his credit, reckoning back to Jany. 1st, or will bo refunded if preforred. We trust our patrons will consider this a fair adjustment of the difficulty. L. W. Walkek, Mgr. Tuesday Evening Wedding.
