Electric Lighting.

The rates fixed by the board for cleo
trio lighting will be found to be among
the cheapest in the state, and when
figured for the year will prove so. We
are in the longest hours for lighting at
the present time. With meter rates
you pay for only what you use each
month, with fat rate, you pay alike for
long and short hours. Under the
meter rates, as they are fixed. a pri-
vate house with twenty-one lights,
wired in, costs only $2.S0 per month,
with service from 8 80 to lO:30. When
averaged with the summer months,
would make the monthly cost less
than $500 per month. Business houses
will get a like benefit in the short
evenings, and what seems expense now
in the long hours, when averaged with
the short ones, will make the years
lighting very reasonable.
