l. For Wholesale power, tho prices and
rates shall not be excessive or discrim-
lnatory and must be available alike 20
all consumers who arc willing 10 meet
the reasonable conditions which may be
fixed IN regard thereto but tho service
and rates In respect 10 such matter may
be reasonably varied and graduated TO
be based upon the time OF service and
the amount OF energy or power furnished,
and upon such other reasonable condi.
lions an may enter into the actual cost
differences Of production or distribution,
In such service
The present lighting rate Is 3 cents for
the first twenty-five kiiowatt hours. 8
cents for the next 1876, and graduated
scale OF rates beyond that consumption.
The proposed ordinance does not go be
yond the maximum rates. but provides
that within sixty days from passage Of

TORPEDO A BACK NUMBER
All.Big.Gun Ship the Naval War
Machine, Asserts Prof. Abel,
Sea Fighting Architect.
LONG-RANGE GUNS EFFECTIVE

Correspondence OF the Associated Pressl
LONDON, April iH-Acoording to Brit
ish naval architects. tho present war has
demonstrated eonclusively that naval SUI
premacy rests with the nation possessing
the greatest number OF all big-gun ships.
They assert that the big gun with the
long range Is the dominating factor and
II IL In the direction OF perfeoting big
guns and perfecting the armor OF ships
that their energies will be.
The torpedo. they contend, is OF no
great account, In tho armament OF the
capital ship and II Ia doubtful whether
tho battleship and battle cruiser Of the
future will bo fitted with torpedo tubes.
AiI-niE-Gun ship the Thing.
Prof y Is. Abel, professor OF naval
architecture AZ Liverpool university, as.
serts that the experiences Of the war
have given CONCLUSIVE arguments In favor
OF the all big-gun ship and has fully
Justified the policy which Admiral Low
Fisher initiated IN the conception OF the
dreadnaught lie adds that secondary
armament Of battleships Ia now rendered
practically useless.
In the pre-dreadnaught era, battieships
were armed with twelveinch guns as
primary armament nine and half and
six-inch guns AZ secondary armament
and often O large number Of smaller
weapons. The Russo-Japaneae war how
ever, demonstrated the uaelcssness 81
this so-called secondary armament, and
out OF tho Russo-Japanese war was
evolved tho dreadnaught. a heavily armed
craft mounting ten twolve-inch and
twenty-four twelve-pounder guns.
While the sixlnch gun was and often
Is Of use IN repeling attack of torpedo
craft. with the increased armament Of
dcatroyers and the Increased striking
range OF tho torpedo, some cloud Is cast
upon the wisdom OF burdoning ship
with Six-inch guns and the argument IL
advanced that At q range OF four miles,
which 10 the effective range Of the mod
ern torpedo, the sx-lnch weapon would
not prove very effective against
destroyer.
No Use for Torpedo Tubes.
Prof Abel la emphatic regarding the
non-deairabiity Of fitting battloships and
battle cruisers with torpedo tubes mo
experience In the present war" he says
Appear to Justify It's present existence,
IN fact, there appears every reason Of
Dispensing with II altogether in the hat
tleship and battle cruiser"
The professor points out that originally
the torpedo was intended for use by capt
tai ships engaged at close range Now,
however the range At which decisive
actions arc fought having 40 greatly In
creased, owing to the perfecting Of the
big gun and the range finder. the action
always takes place well outside the strlk
ing distance Of a torpedo. Destroyorp
and light cruisers vessels outside Tie
capital class. VIII certainly retain tor
pedo 'abes. for in actions betSoeh such
craft. the range would be we'll within
the limits Of 'he torpedo.
