the Bethel news columns of this paper
and giving the new rates for electric
| lights that have just gone into effect in
our neighboring town will perhaps
throw few candle-power effulgency on
the happier conditions that at present
prevail in Randolph. In comparison, our
rates are low while our service is good
and might be better if we did not become
so attached to our old lamps that we per-
sist in keeping them in operation after
they are capable of only four or six can
dlepower instead of sixteen and are so
black that ray can hardly penetrate the
smoky bulb. From one of our public
buildings. the dimness of whose lights
\ had caused considerable annoyance, 10
old lamps we're taken out within a short
time and tested with a machine for that
special purpose. Those lamps had been
/ in use seven or eight years, were smoky,
and, according to the testing machine,
were only giving from four to IL candle
power illumination. Small wonder
dim, if not religious, light was the re-
suit.
