Several parties have refused to accede to
the electric light company's demand OF
two dollars per month and have returned
to the use of oil. The company's expla-
nation on May first was that coal was so
high that they were not making expenses,
and that all on contract should Immediate
y have to pay by meter, but your cores
pondent has been unable to hear of one
such who has been placed on the rate
schedule. The minimum price of one
dollar per month was satisfactory as the
company furnished the meter, but when |
mail consumers are forced to pay double |
'um, and those on contract pay for about
me half of what they use, an injustice is
lone and should be corrected.
