CUT IN POWER :
AND LIGHT RATES
Water and Light Commission An
nounces First Reduction in Ser
vice. from Municipal Plant.

The water and light commission at
a regular meeting Monday night de-
cided to make a reduction in light
and water rates to Virginia patrons
of the municipal, electric light, pow
er and water plant. The new rates
will take effect on November bills az
follows: A straight rate Of Z cents
per kilowatt to all consumers with
a discount of 10 per cent if paid with
in ten days from the date of the bill.
The minimum charge will remain at
81. The power rate is reduced to 5
cents kilowatt with aminimum of 81
per horsepower. The discount will
be 10 per cent if paid within ten days
from the date of the bill. The mat
ter of water rates will next be taken
up by the commission and it is an
ticipated that reduction will be an
nounced shortly. The reductions an
nounced so far are approximately Is
per cent from the old rates.
! The commission also authorized the
construction of transmission line to
the mill power plant from which will
be used to carry the peak load. The
cost will be approximately $4,000
and the arrangement will render it
unnecessary to install new equipment
at the plant for several years to
come.
! The announcement of a reduction
in the rates was received with general
satisfaction about the city and is the
first direct benefit to the people from
the municipal ownership of the elec-
trio light, power and water plant.
While the reductions are not in ac-
cordance with the figures suggested
by the Progressive league, members
of that organization express them
selves as we'll satisfied for the pres
ent.

as he was boarding the cars with his
party and informed him that he should
consider that a tip from the entire
party. Thereafter, according to
travelling men who witnessed the in
cident, the porter danced constant at
Tendance. He was under the coach,
over it and on both platforms at once
and the smile on his face would have
made back drop curtain for George
Primrose's watermelon clog at the
Knickerbocker theatre in New York.
At Nashwauk Kinney inaugurated a
royal and gorgeous season of lavish
spending Immediately upon his arriv-
al. With the party were several la
dies. They bought complete outfits
at Nashwauk stores for the woods,
from mackinaws to slumbering robes,
house slippers and lingerie.
At the bank in the town Kinney
presented a check for $1,000 on his
private bank in Detroit. The cashier
could not at first understand why he
wanted so much money but was soon
made aware of Mr.. Kinney's identity
and the money was passed over with
small ado.
It soon became known about the
town that Nashwauk was entertain
ing an angel unawares and people be-
gan dropping in to the Olilla. It was
brilliant and animated scene for the
rest of the evening. Kinney, while a
perfect host himself, drinks little.
That little is prime bourbon, just
enough for courtesy's sake. He is
the soul of good humor, truly prince
of spenders and his return to Nash
wauk is awaited with the greatest in
terest.

CLAIMED 1T WOULD BE
ARGUMENT FOR SALOONS
Charter Commission Recommends a
Raise in Salary Of City Assessor
and Provision win Be Made for
Setting Aside Money to Be Ex-
pended for Open Air Band Con-
certs and Free Anusements for the
People-Weekly Sessions by the
Commission.
Charter Commission Recommends Z

Under the revision of the city
charter of Virginia, now in the hands
of special charter commission,
which began its labors after organi-
zation a week ago, no portion of the
revenue of the city of Virginia re-
ceived from saloon licenses will be
set aside to create poor fund. The
plan to do this met with vigorous op.
position from several quarters in the
city and the charter will be so re-
vised that a poor fund of $1,000 may
be created, with a special provision
that in time of extraordinary Gala
nifty or public suffering attendant
upon unusual disaster special ap-
preparation of $4,000 may be made.
The money will come out of the gen.
eral fund.
The creation of a poor fund from
a portion of the saloon license money
it was represented to the commits
sion would be placing a premium up
on the liquor traffic. It would give
rise to the argument that it virtually
supported the city's charities and for
this reason was so vigorously oppos-
ed that the plan was abandoned,
Y 7 1 IN seu,ln /, niisaiie , considered,
the matter Of raising the salary Of
the city assessor to $1,000 and pro-
viding him with such deputies and
assistants as may be necessary to be
paid sums fixed by the city council.
The salary of the assessor is at pres
ent $500 year.
A revision of the salary Of the city
engineer was also considered. It
was the general opinion of members
of the commission that a definite
sum should be fixed for locating cor
ners and giving grades, that appli-
cations for work Of this nature
should be made to the city clerk and
that q permanent record book Of
data of this kind should be kept.
It was also decided to increase the
mayors contingent fund to $1,500
and to authorize the appropriation
of a sum of about $4,000 to provide
free band concerts at the city parks
during the summer months and per-
haps free monthly concerts at some
auditorium during the winter.
Amendments to the chapter fixing
the powers and duties of the water
and light commission were also dis
cussed at some length.
The charter commission will hold
weekly meetings from this time on
every Tuesday evening until its work
is completed.

Fred Lister Visitor from Duluth
Yesterday and Makes Important
Announcement.

Fred Lister, former president of
the Virginia Commercial club and
for some time district manager for
the Mesaba Telephone company, was
in the city yesterday from Duluth,
where he now has headquarters as
district representative of the Mes
aba and Duluth Telephone compan-
les.
Mr.. Lister says the service. Of the
Virginia exchange is to be consider
ably improved soon and there will
shortly be made public an announce
ment that will be of much interest
to Virginia people.
"The problem of keeping service
up to the high standard we want to
give our patrons" said Mr.. Lister
yesterday, "has been real one in
Virginia. The town has grown so
fast that it has been hard to keep
up with it and its still growing. We
are especially anxious to have pa
irons call by number. 1t facilitates
connections and secures accurate
service. The fact that subscriber
wants Johnson's residence don't
mean anything to the switchboard
operators any more. There are so
many Johnson's that it is impossible
to peg which one the anxious SUBJ
scriber wants. We are going to
bring our service in Virginia up to
the highest possible standard and to
that end are building UP an organi-
zation and spending money. WEI
will show you greatly improved
telephone service in a few months
more"

THREE MOOSE
ARE: KILLED
virginia Hunters Return from Woodl
and Report Hunting Conditions
Good.

Hunters who went to the woods at
the opening of the big game season
began returning to Virginia the first
of the week and few Of them came
empty-handed, nearly all bringing
home some venison while three moose
were included in the bags brought to
this city.
Ray 0'Leary, an engineer on the
D. w. & p, brought in a fine moose
Monday. The animal was killed near
Kimmount and weighed over 100
pounds. John Holkkaa, proprietor Of
saloon on Chestnut street, also kill
led moose and Glen Shields bagged a
good sized one near Cussons. Deer
were brought to the city in large
numbers Monday and Tuesday and
shipped over the railroads from here
by nonresident hunters. Hunting
conditions were reported as excellent
the first of the week and game plenti-
full, while snowfall was needed to
improve them. Many large parties
are still in the timber and others
plan to 60 out the latter part of the
week. Several large parties from
Virginia are in the Kabetogema lake
country, where moose are said to be
especially plentiful. All those re-
turning from hunting trips agree
that never before have there been as
many hunters in the woods as this
season. Local sporting goods stores
also report that more guns and ammu-
milton have been sold than ever before
in any single season, while the number
of hunting licenses issued has broken
all records.
