MOVES TO NEW QUARTERS

w. D. Morgan moved his place OF
business last week from the State
Bank, to the building of the Nor
gan Produce Co. His new, hardwood
floored office, which has an abund-
ance of light and is well-heated, is
finely furnished, the high wainscot-
ing harmonizing beautifully with
the solid-oak office furniture.
This company's new cement build

which is notable one for this city,
is admirably suited for the business
of the firm, which is the buying OF
potatoes, onions, etc.
proof, it is supplied with stoves,
which, however, it has not been nee
essary to use but once or twice this
winter. BY means of good system
of ventilation, the temperature is
kept at 36 to 40 degrees, it being
found that a dead, over-Warm and
damp atmosphere is as deleterious
to vegetables as one which is unduly
cold
The opportunity for market for
vegetables, which is created by a
company with the facilities afforded
by such a building, is an unusual
one. For, especially in a country
like this, where many farmers are
not provided with sufficient cellar
accommodations, it is necessary to
market such crops as potatoes in a
period of about 10 days.

long delayed, due, according to the
commission, to difficulty in securing
sufficient data
The present value Of the plant was
estimated by the commission at $13.-
538, the lighting company, however,
objecting to this appraisal, as being
considerably too low The report of
the lighting company for the year end
ing June 3O 1914, placed the prop
erty at $29,707S7, in list of assets.

by the commission to be, in the
main, fair and reasonable, only slight

$50 a year. The commissions figures
for the cost of these lights was
$53.67.
The present rate for commercial
lighting in this city, where meters

cess rate: 6 cents per XIV. hr. for
all current used in excess of 100

active load. Incidental power appli-
fans ETC., to the amount of 1000

in determining the active load
The minimum monthly charge for
lighting service shall be 81 for each
installation. This is the same rate
charged by the company heretofore,
rental of 25 cents per month discon-
tinued.
The commission orders that all

til such time as complete meterina

tive horse power per month.

ment of bills within ten days follow
