The kilo-watt hours to be billed for under Blocks No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, will be determined by multiplying the "ON STATION PEAK DEMAND" of the customer by 70.


The kilo-watt hours to be billed for under Block No. 4 will be the difference between the total kilo-watt hours billed for under Blocks No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, and the total kilo-watt hours consumed during the Month.


Discount


The above Energy Rates are subject to a discount of ten (10%) per cent, if the bills are paid at the office of the Clerk of the Town Council on, or before, the 20th of the Month following that for which the bill was rendered.

The Demand will be determined by means of a Graphic Demand Meter. The maximum monthly "Demand" to be used for "Billing De- mand" will be the highest corrected 15 minute kilovolt Ampere Demand occurring across, or during, the "STATION PEAK." Demands occur- ring across, or during, "STATION OFF PEAK" will not be billed for.


The Demand as indicated by the Graphic Demand Meter will be subject to corrections for Power Factor as follows:


Indicated Kilo-watt Demand divided by the Average Power Factor of Load, and multiplied by allowable Power Factor of eighty (80%) per cent.


Corrected Demand will be billed for as follows:


First 200 Kilovolt Amperes of Demand per Month $1.50 per K. V. A. All over 200 Kilovolt Amperes of Demand per Month $1.00 per K. V. A.
