cessary 10 determine what the cost
of running the plant was. This is
now known to the board.
When the plant was first put in
operation the price OF light was
put down to the lowest limit. on a
fat rate system, with the hope
that our people would not waste
light and keep their, lights burn
ing unnecessarily; but. in this, the
board was sorely disappointed, as
some stores and residences keep
their lights burning all night,
without benefit to the owners, and
at a great expense to the plant.
We called attention to this abuse
in these columns several times,
but it did not have the effect de-
sired, few people cut down their
lights during the night, but more
than two thirds were kept burn
ing.
The board at its meeting Tues
day night decided that the plant
had to be lun in a business way
and on good, sound business prir-
ciples, at least, on a self sustain
ing basis.
To do this it was necessary to
raise the price of lamps for resi-
dence to 35 cents per month, and
the price of business lights to go
cents per month, for service up to
twelve o'clock. and all night lamps,
and lamps that are kept burning
after midnight, at 81 per lamps.
At these prices the plant can be
made self sustaining, because it is
better that some of the users OF
light quit, than be supplied with
light at a loss. Had there been
any consideration on the part OF
the users of light lin not wasting
light it might have been possible
to keep the lights at a lower rate
but it seem unnecessary to try anc
reason with the general public,
they pay for light, and want plen
ty of it even if wasted, but when
they will have to pay for the was
ted light they will be more care
full, and we are certain that aftel
the LIST of January very few lamp'
will be kept burning simply fo'
the fun of it, because if they do
the plant will get paid for tina
luxury. Z -

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THREATENING FIRE

At half past six o'clock Monday
evening fire was discovered in the
home of Mr.. Oswald A. Fournet
in the Hitter building corner Port
sand St. Martin streets. The fire
had taken inside the building in
.one Of the rooms back of the build
ing toward the yard, and when the
FIRE was discovered it was about
bursting through the window and
shooting through the upper cell
ing.
The fire department was soon
.on the scene and put six heavy
streams of water Oh the building
and after II hard work, put the fire
out. To fully appreciate the eff
cheney ofthe work that was done
one has only to 60 and look at the
building, the damage is large but
the body of the building was saved.
The fire was in section of town

Our manner of fighting the des-

improved. What is needed is the
appointment of men to handle the
hoses aud cool headed men to d.

while if properly directed the fire
could have been controlled much
quicker and the damage would
have been much less. Bold hard

tive.
More keys for the hydrants and
for the coupling and uncoupling

certain men should be designated
to do that work. More system is
needed, and when we have that
