Gas for illuminating and domestic uses is supplied by private enterprise at fl.OO per thousand cubic-feet, a majority of consumers using slot meters to determine the cost of consumption. Mt. Carmel was a pioneer in electric lighting. The plant of the Edison Electric Company, organized in November, 1883, installed under the personal direction of Thos. Edison, was the first in the United States to attempt lighting by the incandescent system. After six years the present arc lighting system came in...to use. The borough now has seventy-seven arc lamps maintained at a cost of 170.00 each per year. Electricity for domestic lighting is furnished at nine and a half cents per kilowatt with a minimum charge of sev- enty-five cents per month. For power the minimum charge is one dollar per month with special kilowatt rates for large consumption. GENERAL BUSINESS INTERESTS. Mount Carmel has the railway privileges afforded by the Penn- sylvania, the Reading and the Lehigh Valley systems; and in addition to good local trolley service in the borough, has communication of that nature with Shamokin, distant nine miles; with Ashland, dis- tant six miles; and Locust Gap and Gentralia, each three miles away.
