came an assured fact today when a
contract for staging the centennial

tion committee and Henry B. Marks

Indiana, in its decision given Satur-

Light, Heat and Power company the
right to charge rate schedule for

at 80 cents, gross, a thousand cubic

OF CLUB HEADS

Endorsing action of the county COM
missioners in seeking in their budget
report appropriations for two new
bridges with the stipulation that the
present grade Of the Main street
bridge be maintained, the Commercial
club last night prepared to take
more active part in the heated fray
which has developed around the gen.

details.
Orally, the Commercial club direct
ors resolved that an exigency which
makes it the duty of the club to urge
the commissioners to activity at once.
Dilatory methods will be discouraged.
The board will be asked to let con-

wait on the board and outline the
clubs reasons for seeking immediate

QUIT USE OF GAS
BECAUSE new RATE
MEANS HAROSHIPS

Housewives Of Richmond, forced to
economize by the seventy cent gas
rate ruling, today were calling up The
Palladium with the announcement that
they intended to use coal and wood
as fuel hereafter.
They asserted that even with the
greatest economy, 1t would be impos-
sible for them to stay within a reason
able figure II they were forced to pay
seventy cents for gas. It seems prob
able that old ranges and coal oil
burners that have been accommodating
dust and dirt in barns and sheds will
be dragged out of obscurity, polished
and put into commission for coal and
wood consumption.
The burden of the new ruling rests
on the small consumer. Hundreds of
persons who have been burning gas
will be forced to resort to other forms
of fuel to do their cooking.
