OFFICIAL PAPER FOX MOEEOW COUNTY.
Thursday, December 21, 1916.
The Gazette-Times extends to its many friends and readers
the greetings of the season.

The Heppner Light & Water Company has announced to
tii.'ir patrons that after the first of the year they will go on a
meter system. To the majority of the patrons, we believe this
move will meet with approval, and the light company has
acknowledged that this inovation will be more satisfactory to
themselves. ,
To our mind, the meter system is the only equitable way of
selling electric power. For by that system, the consumer pays
exactly for wha he uses. Its true thaf in times past some pa
trons have expressed the belief that they were paying too much
under the flat rate system. There will undoubtedly be more
genuine satisfaction all the way around after the meters have
been installed.
According to the rules of the State Commerce Commission,
all public utilities are entitled to such rates as will pay run
ning or operating expenses as well as making a legitimate
profit for the stockholders. According to the statement of the
Heppner Light & Water Company, they have not been able to
pay running expenses since the 24-hour service was installed.
Heppner is peculiarly situated, in that the cost of fuel in main
taining such a plant is considerably higher than any other plant
operating under similar conditions. The stockholders have had
to dig up continually during the past year and a half- In all
justice to themselves and to insure the future success of the
company, it has been decided that the meter system will be
used. It is but natural that a higher rate will be charged. But
the consumer will have the satisfaction of knowing that he will
pay for only what he is using and should his bill, in his estima
tion, be too large, he can possibly get along with fewer lights in
the future, or in other words, there will be no extravagance in
the burning of the lights.
In their statement, the company says that a change is neces
sitated through the loss incurred by their obsolete methods of
bookkeeping and collecting. We do not believe that the patrons
should have to bear any of the burden from this source, for
there is nothing in the world to hinder the light company from
installing more up-to-date business methods. But if this has
been a factor in causing them to decide for the meters, then all
patrons alike should rejoice. We believe that the Heppner
Light & Water Company wishes to be fair to all patrons alike.
We further believe that the meter system will prove the only
equitable way of arriving at a fair rate for all and we predict
that the instituting of the same will meet with the genuine
approval of the majority of the consumers. t
