Mr.. FRY DENOUECFS
ACTION OF union
SAYS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
HAS NO POWER TO RE-
MOVE HIM.

Little Rock, Jan. 18.-Charges pre-
ferred last week by the Pope County
Farmers Union against President
Charles E. Scott of the Russellville
agricultural school, and J. H. Fry,
secretary of the Arkansas Farmers
Union will be discussed today at a
meeting in Little Rock of the execu-

Fry said on his arrival from Atkins
last night Mr.. Fry is not member
of the executive committee, but ex-
poets to meet with it and II. S. Mob
ley of Prairie Grove, president of the
association. Mr.. Mobley is expected
early this morning.
Mr.. Fry vigorously denounced the
resolutions against him and declared
that properly there is no Pope county
union. The executive committee has
no power to remove him, even if the
members desire it, he said. He said
they can only discuss the resolutions.
The opposition to me in Pope coun-
ty was started from motives outside
the union," he said. "A small party
of members, who have caused so much
trouble in the school, undertook to

PLAN REDUCTION
OF LIGHT RATES
CITY PLANT PROSPERS
DEBTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
PAID, LOWER RATES ARE
PROBABLE.

Supt. E. V. Leverett and the coun-
Gil committee on light and water
plant are at work on a new schedule
of rates for electric current which
will provide for reduction of possibly
as muc has 0per cent in the present
rates and will become effective i'm
mediately after the approval by the
council. The reduction will probably
be made contigent upon prompt pay
ment of bills at the superintendent s
Office
The matter has been under consid
GRAFTON for some time, but it was not
thought advisable to make any reduc-
tion in rates until the Indebtedness
incurred when the plant was remod-
eled and new machinery installed
about two years ago. The total cost
of these improvements was between
$4,000 and $4,000 and this has now
all been paid out OF the earnings of
the system, the last note having been
settled within the past week.
Supt. Leverett spent Sunday and
Monday inspecting plants and secur-
ing data on rates at the municipality
owned plant at Hope and the plants
of the Arkansas Power Company at
Malvern and Arkadelphia He says
the electricity rates at these cities
will average about the same &C Con
ways old rate, but the rates for wa
ter at Arkadelphia and Hope are al
most double those at Conway. Mr..
Leverett says that he gained much in
formation which will be of value of
deciding upon the schedule of rates
at Conway.
While the books and income of the
plant indicate that reduction of 20
per cent may be made in the electric
ity rates without mourning a deficit
in operation, it apparently will leave
but small margin, and there is dis
position upon the part of some of the
members not to make too radical a
change at once. 1t is believed that
no new machinery will be needed for
several years. as the plant is equip
ped with double units, either of which
will carry almost 100 per cent more
than the load now handled, but some
members of the council believe it
would be safer to accumulate sur
plus to be used in case of emergen-
cies and to provide for depreciation
'of the plant, rather than allow all the
profits to be paid out in the form OF
reduced rates to the consumer.
A reduction of 20 per cent will
mean that the average consumer ir
private residences, whose bill has
been less than $5 per month, will be
given service at II cents instead OF
Is cents per kilowatt hour. Larger
consumers of electric lights would re-
Iceive service as low as about cents
per kilowatt hour, and the rates te
power consumers would also be
cheaper. 1t is not planned to make
any reduction at present in the rates
for water, as the plant has just with
in the past year come to be self-sus.
