ELECTRICITY ACCOUNTS
Ssa,—A few days ago I received my quarterly electricity, account. The meter-reading dates were omitted therefrom, and I at once wrote to the Electricity Board !or this Mformation. The area accountant replied thus: "The present s3istem of rendering electricity accounts does not provide for the inclusion of the meter-reading dates." Where the quarterly charge per unit fluctuates—as has happened during the past war—the meter-reading dates are a material part of the account. With- out this information it is impossible, of course, to verffy it. It would seem that the Electricity Board does not desire consumers to check their accounts. Surely this is a new " low " level in commercial morality. ha very truth we are now paying dearly for nationalisation in more senses
