bennington, July 1.-THE local gas
company can fix and collect any rate it
pleases for gas and the village and town
authorities haven't anything to say
about IL, but any consumer or several
of them after paying the increased rate
has q right to appeal to The Public Ser
vice commission which will then make
IAN Investigation and either approve the
rate fixed by the company or else fix a
new rate that appears to the commits
sion to be equitable.

Newpart, VT, July 10, 1902
Bennington Gas Light Company,
Bennington, Vermont
Gentlemen;-I have your presidents
letter Of the 10th inst. complaining that
patrons protest against, and refuse to
pay, certain increased rates; and asking
that we give a hearing to fix the reason-
ableness Of the rates that you have es-
tabished
We have no jurisdiction to do that
on your application The only iurisdic-
ton that we have in that regard is on
the complaint Of one Of the pubic,
of the patrons, or would.be patrons Of
a public service corporation, that the
rates charged BY it are unreasonable,
and asking that we investigate the mat
ter, and, if we find the rates charged to
be unreasonable, to fix reasonable rates.
You have a right TO ix the rates in
the first instance; and we have no iuris
diction to NEEDLE with the rates so
fixed, except on complaint as just ex-
planned We have heard no complaint
from any Of your patrons.
Respectfully,
J. w. Redmond, Chairman.
I might add that we have jurisdiction
OF our own option, to intervene in behalf
Of the public to protect it against un-
reasonable rates.--J. w. r.

TAFT'S PLAN WILL
BE ACCEPTED
Although at Present Both Aldrich and
Payne Are Anxious to Have Their
Schemes Adopted.

Washington, D. G., July 15.-As the
result Of a conference at the White
House last night between Senator Ale
drich, Chairman Payne and President
Taft, when the last.named appeared ID
the role Of arbitrator, it is expected
that Today remodeled draft Of the cor.
poration tax amendment will be pre-
pared by Attorney General Wickersham
which will be forwarded to the commit
tee
Though both preferred their own tax
provisions it is thought there Is little
doubt that eventually Taft's plan Will
be accepted. In its new form the tax
on earnings Of corporations will be one
per cent. on all over $4,000. The prcsi-
dents preference for the corporation
tax Il believed to be owing 10 the fact
that the federal government can better
exercise supervision and control over
eoi@orations than over inheritanees.

CORRECT STATIONERY.

snecial care must be exercised when
selecting mourning stationery. for the
widths of the black borders differ, as
each indicates the degree of mourning.
One fashionable widow uses square let
ter paper, the black edges being an inch
wide; the envelopes match. This is. or
course, extreme and would be considered
good form but by few persons. Little
less than half an inch is the regulation
width for widow. though custom now
permits of narrower border If she
chooses Smooth finished paper is more
often used than rough. except Wherc I'M
