Mr.. Stockly declared that the plan
was somewhat misunderstood by many
citizens and they thought that another

of such n course. This is not so Mr..
Stockly reiterated as the city has al

so he switched to the present system,
which has reduced the cost of keeping
the meters to nearly two-tlfths of the
