against IA cents, and that the commit

Frank w. Coy, representing the COM
r11ittee of the Westerly Board of

,,;++ee rs az WeeferIv RosrJ oF
Trade, stated that although the Mar
ragansett company recently acquired
the local plant it was with full knowl-
edge of the local conditions, and he
knew the present company could grant
the yearly minimum rate and make
money. The offer of the company to
reduce rate is no reduction, unless the
consumer uses above nine killowatts,
and the reduction is mighty small at
that, even if the difference between IA
and u cents does look big. Mr.. Coy
said that if it was necessary to have
a minimum charge, there. was no OBJ
lection to yearly charge.

President Flynn said this electric
light rate ought to be definitely set
tied and not be dragged along from
month to month, taking the time of
the council. and taxing the patience
of the public. Councilman Thorp said
the proposed rate, approved by the
council. must be approved by the pub
lie utilities commission before it can
be effective, and if the minimum
charge was made annual, the company
would not give the twelve cents rate.

Rankin and several others who reside
in the vicinity of Margin street, set
ting forth that the G. NJ Shay Fertil-
izing company, had established a re-
ceiving plant, off Margin street, on
property owned by John w. Sweeney,
and that it was a nuisance and a men
ace to health, and asked for the abate-
ment. After discussion by Louis Ran
kin, Rev. Joseph L. Peacock, Thomas
Perry, Arthur L. Perry and all mem
bers of the council, during which it
was claimed that a business of that
nature was an absolute necessity, but
should be conducted in a sanitary way,
the council declared the place to be
a nuisance and order will be served
on the owner of the property to have
it removed.

Mr.. Gray said the company did not
ask for any contract or agreement
from the council nor ask for any &C
ton on the minimum rate. He would
not separate the reduced rate from
the minimum monthly rate nor ask
the council to pledge itself in any
way to the committee. He was per
fectly satisfied to leave the whole mat
ter with the utilities commission, if
the council so desired. He said he did
not believe there was popular demand
for an annual adjustment of the min
imum charge, and that it was evident
ly confined to a very few people. He
said the general feeling was that the
present plan was fair.
