gas bills the past month. Mayor Billiard
has agreed to present all exorbitant bills
to the commission in a bunch and try to
get an official investigation in regis to
their justice and equity The commission
has already anticipated this action on
the part of the mayor by comforting with
a professor of chemistry from the State
university. They win have this expert
inspect meters under high and low pres
sure and anaIyze heat units.
When the mayor presents the big gas
bills the commission Will be in position
to discuss the matter with him and will
be better informed on what course to
take in the premises
Hundreds of Topeka consumers are pro-
testing their big gas bills for January, the
month of cold weather and low pressure
The mayor has agreed to help them all
he can by referring all bills to the com
mission which has control TO certain

LIGHT REPORT FILED
Cost s34.64 per Lamp to Run City
Plant.

According to report just compiled
by George O'Neill, superintendent of
the city electric light plant. it cost
the taxpayers of Topeka $34.63 a lamp
to keep the street lights in operation
for the year 1911. Add to this the
~ per cent interest and the 5 per
cent depreciation, it costs s47.72 a
year per lamp.
This is nearly half the amount that
would be charged the city by a pri
vate concern. The operation of the
municipal plant for the year 1911 was
a success from the city's point of view.
It was the best year in the history of
the plant
In the same year the city installed
25 new arc lamps and II tungsten
lights. Add to the 416 arcs and SO
tungstens in service, the city has a
total of AL arc and Sc tungsten
lights on the streets.
The operating expenses of the plant
for the year amounted to SIS. 5S411.
OF this amount S4.222.49 went for
fuel and s6,241.34 for-Wag es and sal

had learned that he must put into life

with animation to the tent of the

estimate. And then an adjournment
was taken, with a fusillade of shotgun
reports, to the tent of the godfather,
whose canvas domicile was heated to
stove.
There the little bride and groom,
looking a trifle droopy in the heat and
excitement, took their stations, hand
