RATE OF
LIGHT ADVANCED,

The Town Council last week adopted
an ordinance to change the system O,
fiat rate for the electric light plant to
the meter. Meters will be exacted for
all persons using three or more lights
and all persons using one or two
lights, the rate will be raised from 40
TO 10 cents for residences and from 60
to rs cents for business houses.
The meters put up will cost $3.50
and will be paid on the insta1lment of
II. per month in order to make the
change easy on the consumers. There
IL some dissatisfaction from those now
tising fiat rate, but when they will use
the meter, they will soon And that If
there Is no waste, they can have much
more lights In their homes at less than
they are paying now. No one now
using meters would 20 back to the fiat
rate. The meter is to prevent waste
and abuses, and 1t is for the benefit of
ali concerned, the plant and consum-
ers.

French Postal Employees Less
Inclined to Go Out on

Paris. May 9.-Conditions are favor

versy with the postal employees, it was
said today. and it is not likely a strike
win be declared for the present. The
governments firmDess has made n deep
impression upon the rank and file and
the leaders Of the strike movement may
conclude to postpone the battle until
they are better organized and prepared
for what would prove to be a hard
struggle.
A meeting called for today by the
federal committee was attended by
about 1000 persons. but no great en-
I thusiasm was shown. a resolution was
adopted to go out at the word of COM
mand in the fight for the reinstatement
of the dismissed employees and for COM
plete reform in the postal service Dele
gate Mccarthy, representing the Eng
lish postal employees. promised finan-
cial and moral support of their English
colleagues.
A section Of the postal employees is
engaged in exposing alleged scandals
in the telephone service. It is charged
that much money had been squandered
and particular reference is made to DUR
chases made in the United States to re-
plenish the plant when the telephone
exchange was burned last year
The various unions in theaSeine de-
paTtment have called a meeting for
Wednesday to decide what steps shall
be taken TO help the postal employees
in case Of strike, to counterbalance the
aid offered to the government by mer-
chants and employers in general.
