Springfield, Ill, May 25.-Rock Is
land and Moline are given lower gas
and electric rates by the terms of slip
ulations signed by officials of both
cities and officials of the Peoples Pow
er company. The stipulations were
filed today with the Illinois public
utilities commission.

ulation, are reduced to IS cents net
per 1000 cubic feet. The old rate was
81. The new rate for electricity for
residences and commercial houses is
eight cents net per kilowatt hour for
the first so hours. and seven cents for
the next $50 hours. The old rate was
IL cents.
The new rates for electricity applies
also to East Moline, Silvis, Milan, Car
bon Cliff, Hampton, Rapids City and
Port Byron, suburbs of the two larger
towns
Moline and Rock Island had asked
the commission to investigate the old
rates and orders had been issued for
the company to file inventories of all
its property. The stipulations filed to-
day were in the forms of motions to
dismiss the orders. This action, il is
understood, will be taken by the com

pressed themselves as well satisfied
