By notice elsewhere, it will be seen that
the Board of Water and Light Commis-
sioners of the village of Hyde Park have
raised the price of electricity from 10
to Sets. per killowat. 1t is said that at
this figure the price is much lower than
other places. The rate at Morrisville
and HYDE Park are the lowest, so weare

price at Hyde Park is because at the old
rate the village was running behind, and
at the new rate it will take close work to
break even" The debt of this village

and the running expenses in the neighbour

system pays we'll on the investment, all
he same a debt of $50, 900 is large for a
village the size of Hyde Park.
