New Rates for Electric Lights.

Several months ago the city coau
brought storm on their heads bv IA
ing to force the metre system ON the
patrons OF the city electric light plant,
and they have been having all kinds Of
trouble ever since, the people Directing
very strongly to the metres and quite a
number had their lights cut out.
At the regular meeting of the council
last Thursday new ordinance was pass.
ed which fixes new rates for lights,
Heretofore the business houses have
paid 65 cents for each light used and the
price for residence lights has been on a
graduated scale, the price being Go cents
tor the first light, so cents for the sec
ond and 40 cents for each additional
light. The new ordinance fixes The rate
at TO cents for each l6 c. D. light used
the same rate applying to business
houses and residences, and whether one
or more lights are used. Those who d., :.
sire to use the metre system will be fur
nlshed metre free of cost and must
pay for all lights used at the rate of l28
cents for each l 900 watts used, but the
minimum charge where metre is put
in is So per year.
The council also decided that those
who take lights by the month must paw
full rates for each light that is wired,
n the city ell: ctrician will be ordered to
cut out all lights which are not being
paid for.
The council is commencing to get the
llght question on the proper basis by
treating every one who uses lights ex.
actly alike, all paying the same rate.
Int only question now to be decided is
whether the rates they have adopted
are too high, and if it is found they are
the price will be red uced.

In discussing what to do with chickens
when they get off their own premises, a
staid citizen prescribed the following
remedy the other day: There are several
things fellow may do. The surest cure
shot gun with double charge, wait
until the rooster gets deeply interested
in the pea bed and then take deliberate
aim andpull the trigger. If the shot
gun don't. burst and your aim is good
the chickens win not bother you again.
Another way, if you want to be real kind
to the chickens mix up pan full of corn
meal and salt-use plenty of salt
and place the tempting dish in that
part of your garden where the chickens
will be sure to find it. They will eat and
eat and 90 away, but they will never
come back. To lid yourself of another
exasperating nuisance-that of rowing
canines-the first remedy will not prove
disappointing.
