to 2,223,0 900 kilowatt hours. For all
above that amount 1t was required to
pay but a cent a kflowatt hour, but
for several years 1t failed to make use
Of any such quantity, so that the larger
rate had to DO paid. Now, however,
1t will require twice that amount, or
ell that the power company can sup
ply, and 1T was therefore needless for
any such provision concerning the
amount used. The city will take all
it can get and pay at the cent rate for
what it uses.
A clause which the commissioners
had inserted was one protecting the
city Il for any reason the plant should
be disabled for an unreasonable time.
In that event the matter would be re-
ferred to arbitration and @ decision
reached as to what should be done.
The concession made to the power
company was that the contract should
be for eight instead Of five years.
The contract IS dated from January
first of this year and now that It has
been signed and the matter closed up
the city is protected against the posi-
bility Of that source OF electric cur
rent being withdrawn and the COM
missioners can prepare to handle the

been made upon them for electricity,

agreement with the Uncas Power COM
pany representatives, as the result or
which the city will receive electric cur
rent from the hydro electric plant at
Scotland at the fiat rate of one cent
kilowatt hour delivered at the light
ing plant in this city. This matter
has been under consideration and dis
cussion for several weeks and it is con-
sidered by the board that an advan-
sageous contract has been obtained.
There were in attendance at the
meeting the full board of commission
ers, H. F. Sweet of Boston, president
of the Uncas Power company, and At
torney Moorehouse of New Haven, the
company's legal representative. There
were discussed the different features
of the proposed contract, which were
not quite satisfactory at the last meet
ing, and as the result Of a compromise
thereon the contract was signed by
the full board and by the Uncas Power
company officials.
The new contract follows closely the
provisions of the original contract with
the Uncas Power company with the
rate, however, for all current used be-
ing fixed at one cent fiat. This is
what the city has been paying of late,
since the first contract expired. Under
the old contract the city paid SOIL a
