The Company proposes to furnish cur
rent for residences, stores, banks, etc., on
the fiat rate basis:
For the first 9O-Candle Power 25 Watt
Street Mazda Lamps, or for the first
16-Candle Power Carbon Lamps, mini
mum charge of $1.25 per month is made.

When consumers desire more than ten
lights installed they may take advantage
of Meter Rates, which rate will not exceed
I3 cents per thousand watts.
Aside from the convenience which
electricity affords in lighting, it should be
noted there are many othef uses to which
it can be applied, such as ventilating fans,
fiat irons, hot water heaters, toasters,
irons. complete cooking stoves, electric
radiators, butter churns, clothes washers,
separators and countless other things to
which electricity can be directly applied.
For operating these the consumer must
be on the Meter basis, which rate for
current not to exceed IS cents per
thousand watts.
AS the tax rate of Rising Snn is 3oc per
$Ioo, which is the limit allowed by our
charter, it will be necessary in case either
the water or light proposal is accepted, or
both, to amend our charter SO that the
tax rate may, be increased. 1t is pro-
posed to ask the Legislature at its next
session to amend our charter so as to raise
the limit to so cent per $Ioo, though it is
not thought that tax rate of over as
cent will be needed should both water and
light be installed.
The special election to be held at the
Commissioners office. Monday. the nth.
between the hours Of and p. m. is to
obtain the verdict of the voters of the
town upon this question. All taxpayers
within the town limits, irrespective of sex,
are entitled to vote on the water and light
propositions.

AIRsHlp FLIES OVER CECIL.

Harry N. Atwood and Charles K.
Hamilton. the air-men. passed over Elk
ton at 8:I2 Monday morning in biplane,
in their flight from Atlantic City to Bal
timore. News of the aviators' coming
had been telephoned ahead and hundreds
OF persons were out on the watch. The
route was almost directly over the tracks
of the Philadelphia. Baltimore & Wash
ington Railroad, and consequently every
person in Elkton who was on the watch
got fine view of the flying machine.
When it passed over Elkton the ma
chine was lbout $50 feet in the air. and
the occupants were plainly visible. The
noise made by the running of the engine
could also be heard.
The air-men left Atlantic City few
minutes after four o'clock in the morning,
and stopped at Farnhurst Del, at 6:45 for
gasoline and oil. After half hour at the
State institution start was made for
Baltimore. They were forced to make a
landing at Stemmer's Run, at o:23 o'clock
on account of the intense heat and high
humidity, which made it impossible to
keep the machine in the air longer. The
flight covered approximately distance of
I4S miles. Early Tuesday morning they
continued their fight toward Washington,
from Stemmers Run. and effected a land
ing at College Park, Md, where the
Government is conducting experiments
with flying machines.
