The Electric LIGHT Question.

l. s. Brigham, W. G. Emerson and A.
F. Lamb, the special committee appoint-
ed at the last village meeting to investi-
gate the subject of a municipal electric
light service, have, through the chair
man, Mr.. Brigham, had some correspond
ence with the Consolidated Light and
Power company Of, Montpelier Barre and
Waterbury.
The object of the correspondence has
been to see il the Consolidated cotnpanv
cannot extend its lines from websterviIie
to Randolph, a distance of is uiles. and
furnish light and power for this village
at reasonable rate while providing bet
ter service than has been enjoyed in the
past.
E. o. Wedge, superintendent OF the
Consolidated company, came to Randolph
Tuesday to meet the special committee
and talk the matter over. He estimated
the cost Of bringing the line from Web
sterville is miles to our transformer sta
tiou at SIS, 900 and stated that the COM
pany would like to have the village bear
that expense. He said, however, that the
company would allow.25 per cent of all
collections each year and per cent in
terest to 60 towards the $751; until it
was paid, when the line would become
the property Of the company and the VIII
lage would be relieved Of q troublesome
investment should it seem best in the fu-
ture to make different arrangements.
Mr.. Wedge gave the cost OF lights
furnished by the Consolidated company
as half cent an hour for a Is candle
power lamp. For domestic purposes,
hatirons, etc. electricity would cost
cents an hour; for 12-inch fans, IL
cents an hour; for manufacturing pur-
poses, 10 cents per kilowatt, equal to / l.
8 horsepower.
The committee has other plans whose
feasibility will be determined in the two
months time allowed for investigation.
