Twin State Co. Explains Difference In
Prices Quoted.

Editor Reformer:
Ii has been suggested TO the writer
that the Twin State Gas a Electric
company's letter TO Mr.. Waterman
chairman of the board of bailifis, bear
ing ON the subject of one and hve'year
periods of street lighting contracts
was couched in such language as to
eause the people throughout the village
10 think that the electric company had
written in the spirit of defiance ana
that the prices quoted for one'year
contract are made high out OF nure
cussedness.
We ask YOU TO publish this letter. of
denial that the people may know that
while il was disappointment TO the
company that its liberal and reason.
able quotations for a five.year contract
were most emphatieally buried by those
present at the village meeting, the
prices rendered to your bailiiis based
on a one.year term are made solely on
increased cost of material to maintain
and operate the system for short term
over the prices which we could com,
mand for such supplies If we should
purchase a fve-year quantity AT one
time.
Also. there is an element of chance
which must be figured in the cost TO
protect against damage caused bv the
elements, of such nature as Nlolent
winds, sleet and ice storms and nght-
ming. any one of which can without no
tice put whole system out OF busl'
ness in a short time, Such cohtIhgen.
cies are not unusual in the summer
months during thunder storms when 5O
lamps or more of our street lighting
system NAV be burned out, causing an
expense for lamp renewals, which the
income derived from the village per
lamp for one year would scarcely cover,
and il is only by spreading the expense
of such acts of nature over period OF
five or more years that the. company is
able to quote lower price for Its street
lighting service. | do not mean TO ln1er
that such items as above mentioned are
met with every year, but it is not pos
sible to guard against them and they
must be considered an item of expense
on short term contracts.
We deplore the fact that some or the
people of the village have msconstruea
the tone of our letter. IL was pusl.
ness communication purely. not meant
for publication, and gave the informa-
tion desired by the board of baillffs IN
language easily understood and OF such
composition as would not probably be
employed in writing on a sentlmentai
subject. .,.n

various interviews with the board the

MUNICIPAL PLANT
TALKED BY MANY
Unusual Interest in Meeting Set
For December %.
LOCAL RATES ARE ExoRBIrANr
In the Opinion Of Many Users Who Say
They VIII Not Be Satisfied With
Reduction In Municipal Rates Alone
A Letter from Manager Adds.

Tn. matter of a municipal lighting
sxstem is one that is being discussed
widely throughout the village at the
present time, and although there Is
difference Of opinion as 10 what action
ought 10 be taken ut the special meet.
ing next Wednesday evening II must
he admitted that the advocates OF
municipal plant are numerous ana nc.
tive. Few of those who believe that
the village should have lighting plant
of its own are willing 10 say. that such
a plant is preferable TO service from
private plant under favorable condi-
tions, but there is widespread opinion
that the local lighting company has not
made n wholly satisfactory price TO the
village for street lights; in fact, not SO
low as il should be willing TO make Tor
the sake of holding the business. ~
In a letter printed elsewhere In TINS
paper Manager Adds of the Twin
state company explains at some length
his letter TO the bailiffs duotin" prices
on lights for one and five.year terms,
and seeks to correct the impression
that the communication was written IN
an unfriendly spirit. Mr.. Adds is still
of the belief that his company and the
village will be able to come. to terms,
and il will not be surprising II ne
makes another proposition TO the Daii-
lUs DetWetH luN anu INV ""'s vs. 49,
special meeting. a..
The obstacle likely to stand in the
way of settlement of this question
is the dissatisfaction that exists
throughout the village over the rates
for lighting and power to private con-
sumers. There are a number of men
who doubt the feasibility of a municl-
nal plant for municipal lighting alone,
hut believe that such a plant could Sc
cure enough commercial business at
rates lower than those in effect at pres
ent to make it decidedly advantage.
Gus proposition. Thus it is evident
that the Twin State company in order
to prevent vote in favor of munich
pal plant at next Wednesdays s meeting
will have to make some alluring prom
ises relative TO a reduction in CONNER
cial rates in Brattleboro. in addition to
coming down substantially in its prices
for municipal lights.

LOCAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

No particular business was trans
acted at the weekly meeting of the Sc
lectmen last evening. At the meeting
Thursday evening of next week the
board will have a big batch of bills to
approve and pay. 1t will require about
SO 900 to meet the obligations matur-
ing on the last day of the year.
The directors of the Fort Dummer
Mills state that it is expected to make
call of 10 per cent on subscriptions
to the capital stock to be paid Feb. 1,
1911. 1t has not been found necessary
to make any call before Jan. J., as the
officers of the company are taking care
of the land purchase, which is the only
local expenditure required before that
date. 1t has seemed desirable to make
the first call for some date long enough
after Jan. to enable subscribers TO get
well by the requirements OF the hrst OF
the year. so Feb; ] has been nxed. ~
fetal notice of the call will be forward
ed to the subscribers in due time.
