The citizens who signed the letter
Of protest to w. s. Heger, Secretary
of the Electric Light Co., have receiv-
ed a reply which substantially brushes
aside the points made by the petition
ers, and while courteously, yet firmly
insists on their position, as taken in
their, late announcement. Now it seems
to us that the whole trouble in the
matter, setting aside the question of
the past, is the arbitrary way in which
the company propose to substitute a
more expensive light, without CONSUL
tation with their customers, most of
whom agree in the fact, that if the
present 10 candle power burner be
brought to its proper capacity, the
amount of light generated will be am
ply sufficient for their needs. The ar
guments made by Mr.. Heger on this
point tending to show an increased
benefit to the consumer, from an in
creased light are weak, and would be
unapplicable at any rate, since it is
evident that our citizens do not want
the increase, can't afford it. After a
careful looking over the subject, we
will venture to tell the company what
we think customers do want and will
sum it up under three heads.
LIST. A good 10 candle power light
with power enough to keep it up to the
required capacity. End. The lights to
be turned on at such time as is made
necessary by failing daylight. Just in
this connection, we wish to say that
usually they are about Is minutes late
in this particular. 3rd, and lastly.
That individual customers be given the
same reduction, that the Town is given

that the service has not been up to

In the last issue of Printers Ink, a
journal devoted to tine interest of the
fraternity, there appears an account Of
an attempt on the part of publisher
of one of our north western weeklies to
impose on the advertising and general
public, by grossly mis-stating his circu-
lation. The exposure was brought
about by an offer on the part of Geo.
P. Rowell 6 Co., publishers of the
American Newspaper Directory, to
pay $4,000 to any one furnishing con-
elusive evidence of mistake in the
quotation of any papers circulation.
A former foreman Of the Office of the
paper referred to, made affidavit that
the circulation was not over 28O0 to
5000, while the Directory gave it as
1000. After considerable correspon-
dence, the Publishers Of the Directory,
paid the informer the money. 1t is
amusing, at the same time instructive,
to read the views of some hundred diff
ferent journals, as to the conclusiveness
of the evidence furnished but the
large majority concur in the verdict,
that the case was made out, quite as
much by the subterfuges and evasions
of the suspected Journals proprietor,
as by the directness of the testimony
furnished by the ex-foIeman. There
is a moral attached to this lesson,
namely, that since there seems to be a
propensity on the part of many pub
iishers to overate the Importance of
their publications by misquoting their
circulation, some plan should be de-
vised, that should put it out Of the
power Of visionary publishers to cheat
and hood-wink their patrons while
their more truthful fellows are from
the same cause left out in the cold.
