Proposes to Meet Edison's Reduction

United Electric Light Company Promises to Offer Inducements to Customers.

Following the action of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company last week in reducing the price of electricity to its customers, the United Electric Light and Power Company yesterday notified its patrons that a new schedule of lower rates would soon be sent out, to take effect from October 1. It says: —

“All bills for current supplied on and after October 1 will be rendered at the new rates, a schedule of which will be sent you prior to the rendering of October accounts.

“Your special attention is called to our power service, which, owing to the use of Tesla induction motors without commutators and other complicated devices, is vastly superior to any other power service offered.

“We are giving the matter of the introduction of power apparatus special attention, and are prepared to make our rates of power service especially attractive.”
