A BLACK EYE FOR HARRISON
Excessive Charges BY Public Service
Concerns Threaten US Seriously.

Harrison's City Council is but
doing its duty to the people oI
the town by investigating the ex
cessive rate charged by our Electric
Light Co., as we'll as the proposed
advance of telephone rates. 1t has
long been a complaint, especially by
those coming in from other cities,
that Harrison is a costly town to
live in; that in many respects the
necessary expenses Of living here are
higher than in other towns OF
similar size and conditions.
If these contentious are correct
there is grave apprehension as to
the future of the city. 1t is not a
question OF growing to ten thous-
and, or any other figure; it is up to
our progressive citizenship to pre-
vent paralysis which will easily
stop the growth we have enjoyed
the past two years, and put us
definitely back on the waiting list
Not only are our public service
corporations seeking to double the
tribute they lay upon us, but
property owners have caught the
spirit, and rents, both for home and
business property have advanced
to figures excessive and unreason'
able.
1t is soothing to say that
these things will in time be properly
regulated, but it is more business
like to go about regulating them
before the injury to the town and
its business interests has been
irreparable A majority of the
patrons of our Electric Light
system complain at the high rates
charged, and yet they ought to
know that so long as they submit
and pay these rates matters will
grow worse instead of better.
1t would be a shame if Harrison
were robbed of modern convenienoes
BY the greed of a few non-residents
who have no interest in the town
save to bleed it, but it would be
better for our people to do without
electric lights and telephones than
to allow their overhead expenses to
grow until they are unable to do
business in competition with the
country store or smaller town COM
mercial enterprises
Not only our council but our
Commercial Club should look deeply
into these matters and find a
remedy The best interests of the
community demand it. 4

Prices were reported at approx
mately the same as the week pre-

formation of the ground, and the
close proximity of the ore to the
