1t was learned yesterday that the To-
cal electric light company has just is
sued a notice that has caused consid-
cradle dissatisfaction to exist among
the private consumers. A prominent
business man, in speaking of the mat
ter, said: "The electric light company
has an ordinance. as | understand II,
| fixing the price of lights to the private
consumers in this way: Sixty cents for
the first incandescent light, fifty cents
for the second, forty for the third.
thirty cents for the fourth and twenty
for the fifth, per month, amounting to
$500, and $1.00 per year for each addi-
tional i~ncandescent light furnished by
the company to any private consumer.
Now | am in receipt of a notice that
the price of the additional lights is to
be increased after the first Of the month
and in my opinion it is not in accord
ance with the ordinance. The notice is
to the effect that each additional light
over five is to cost twenty cents pei
month, which amounts to Sac pei
year."
The consumer added that the matter
would very likely be laid before Coun-
Gil as 500 as possible.
