an increase Of rates. The copy we
have here, the title reads as we agreed
upon, namely, Sin the matter Of the
Application of the Eagle River Light
and Water Company for Authority to
Equalize and Establish Rates" The
form of notice reads advance rates, :"
and of course this should have been
changed but the stenOgrapher who
got out the notices seems to have Oy-
CROOKED it. However, with the
heading as it is, it ought to leave no
question as to what is intended, par

shows what is intended to be done.

This paper has no axe to grind
neither have we favors to give,
but in justice to all we publish the
above application and letters per-
tanning to same. BY a perusal
of the rates, both fiat and meteor,
light users can easily see what
rate they will pay under the new
schedule asked for in the appli-
cation of the Light Company. If
one will read the list of users and
the rates they pay, it would seem
that it was about time to make
change. SO that small consumers
of light will not have to pay the
same rate as large consumers.
The Company, although under a
heavy expense in the past, are
now getting their power cheaper
since the power dam was built,
and if they follow out what they
ask for, the rates will be SO that
ever house can be lighted at a
reasonable price. and we have no
reason to believe that the com
pany wont do as they say, If the
rates asked for are granted. Ii
the citizens think the fiat rate too
high, they can putin a meter and
pay for what they use. All light
users should look into this light
proposition and see if they will be
raised or not, but on equalization
all should agree We have tried
to give all a fair deal and it IS up
to YOU to investigate for yourself.
