Greenville Lighting Question Settled.

Greenville Lighting Question Settled.
The complaint of Harry A. Sanders
and other citizens of Greenville against
the Greenville Light and Power Com
pany has been dismissed by action Of
the Public Utilities Commission, the
hearing having been held on April J.
Charles W, Hayes appearing as coun-
sci for the complainant and Henry
Hudson, Esq, for the respondent.
In the complaint it was alleged that
the charges for light and power in
Greenv1lle were higher than in other
towns Of the State for the same serv-
ice, and that the minimum rates for
lighting and the kilowatt hours for
lights and small motors have been re-
Gently doubled.
The law provides that schedule of
rates not higher than those in force on
Jan. l, 1918, be filed with the commits
sion; but it was found upon iuvestiga-
ton that in the schedule filed by the
Greenville Light and Power COMPANY
the rates were above those of Jan. l,
1873 The commissioners brought the
matter to the attention of the com
pany and the rates have been adjusted
to conform to legal schedule. There
fore II is claimed that the petitioners
have no further grounds for com.
plant.
