STRIKES AT RED TAPE
IN THE FRENCH ARMY

PARIS, November 1l.-Minister of
War Gallieni has struck deathblow
at the traditional red tape of the army
administration in a circular to civil
and military heads in which he de-
clares too much time and paper are
wasted in referring small questions all
the way up the official ladder to the
minister He asserts the system must
be decentralized because war calls for
rapidity in reaching decisions.
Hereafter each official must use his
own Judgment and NJ. Gallieni will
deal only with questions which involve
his responsibility as minister. The
circular states that since the fullest
initiative is thus given 1t will follow
that only those able to exercise it will
be retained in the service and those
who are incapable will be ruthlessly
eliminated.
Il shall not hesitate to punish any
one who from Ignorance or noncha-
lance tolerates Incompetence" says the
war minister.

What New Rates Impose.

it is considered unlikely that final ac-
tion will be taken at that time.
What New Rates Impose.
The new rates would impose a charge
for current used for heating and cook
ing of 10 cents an. hour for the first
ten kilowatt hours and cents an hour
thereafter. However, the schedule calls
for a separate meter and a minimum
charge of 81 a month. This means that
those who use electricity for both
lighting and cooking would have their
bills based on the readings of two
meters and would be required to meet
a total monthly minimum charge of 81.
The commission wants to know
whether this would be an unreasona BILE
requirement and is going to find out
just what consumers pay in other cit
les. Some interesting statistics al
ready have been gathered. In Salt
Lake City consumers pay a straight
rate for heating and cooking of 6k
cents a kilowatt hour, with a two-dol-
lar monthly minimum charge imposed
Los Angeles Charges.
In Los Angeles there is a five-cent
straight rate. with a three dollar min
imum charge. British Columbia, which
mum payment of only 10 cents a. month.
The average minimum payment in
cities thus far investigated is 81 a
month.
One plan suggested to the commission
is that a welve-dolIar annual mini
mum rate would be preferable to a
one-dollar monthly minimum rate, this
on the theory that more current is
used in some months than others, and
that if the total for the year is less
than $12 the consumer should be re-
quired to make up the difference.
Whether or not the 81 rate would i'm
pose a hardship upon consumers may
be determined by an investigation of
the amount of current the average
family would use for cooking and
heating purposes.
Cost Data on File.
There are on file with the commission
some data as to the cost of electrical
cooking in certain apartments in Buff
falo, N. Y. The figures show a cost
ranging between s2.31 and s2.51 per
month. In other apartments where the
cost was Investigated the cost did not
fall below $1.95 per month.
If these may be relied upon as aver
age figures the minimum 81 charge
proposed would not appear to be SO
important a factor for consideration
in the case of families that rely en-
tirely upon electricity for cooking.
