Their reduction of 10 cents for prompt
payment. Other rates which were less
than the cost Of manufacture We're in
creased to relieve the lighting custom
ers from paying for their own service
and part of the expense Of service to
other classes.
When the complaints were filed the
net rate for electricity for the first five
kilOwatts per month was 20 cents, and
for the next five Is cents. After the
preliminary hearing the company made
a uniform rate open to it's Calais GUS
toners of Is cents per kilowatt for the
first ten kilowatts, with a discount of
two cents for prompt payment. The
net rate for the next 1870 kilowatts was
ten cents in beth schedules. The Pub
lie Utilities Commission now orders a
net rate of ter cents for the first 200
kilowatts per hour, allowing it to be
billed at twelve cents with d discount
for payment within ten days This
does not change the present discount
rate.
NO complaint was made against the
rates for street lighting. No stress
was placed upon the fiat rates in par
ticular We shall not order any
changes in either of these classes In
the absence of official notice from eth
er municipality we shall assume that
the municipal rates are satisfactory
and that the individual users may lust
ly be given the benefit of any de-
creases. So far as the fiat rates arc
concerned. no che need continue that
service. There is no way of telling
what it costs per unit. except as each
User keeps run of his hours of use:
ana as they find that the new meter
rates are more favorable, they can
change"

Pleased With Decision Of Michigan q

Pleased With Decision OF Michigan ri.
rector to Rs-sntsr Conference.
Ann Arbor, Mich, May b.--Fielding
H. Yost, the famous builder Of football
elevens at the University OF Michigan,
is highly gratihcd with the action OF the
board OF regents in voting to return to
he Western Conference. He believes
the faculty representatives Of the 'Big
Nine" institutions will warmly welcome
the return Of Michigan when they meet
In Chicago, June 3. to pass on the ap-
plication.
Yost strongly favors competition in
all branches Of athletics with western
teams. for, he says, 1T is neither de-
sirable nor practicable. for Michigan to
be half east and half west" He de-
clares that it has not beer, possible to
arrange satisfactory baseball or track
schedules outside OF the conference.
Il am strongly in favor OF Michigan's
return" Yost said. Il want to return
absolutely and completely. My chief
reasons for a resumption OF athletics
with the conference institutions are:
That practically all OF the men at
Michigan always have wanted 10 COM
pete with western college teams.
That from all reports we can look
forward to friendly and continuous ath-
letic relations with all conference
teams, including Chicago and Wiscon-
sin, and that there will be more gen
eral and sympathetic interest on the
campus in such competition than that
now existing in our present schedule.
That II We are In the conference It
will not matter much what rules and
regulations are In force, as we will be
competing with our opponents on equal
footing 10 far as eligibility rules are
concerned.
That Il has, not been possible to Sc
cure satisfactory, baseball and track
,scheduiea outside OF the conlerence.
we want to go back because we be-
lieye our competition with conference
teams will be desirable and believe that
we will receive as warm welcome on
eaei. campus as VIC received in Mime
apolis In 1903.
I'VE want 10 go back. realizing that
questions will arise and be decided,
perhaps not to our liking, but go with
the spirit that we are willing to abide
with this result.
In the last five years OF conference
competition we lost only one game
the Chicago 20 game in 1905. Since
1905. we have competed with two or
more teams each year that have played
freshmen and fourth year men against
us. l am opposed to asking Michigan
men to play except where our competl-
tors are under the same eligibility rules
and other restrictions.
II do not think the strict eligibility
rules and other requirements matter 80
much II all Of the competitors meet on
the same basis.
Let us approach the situation in the
right spirit and with full knowing of
conditions and prepare 70 abide by the
result willingly and gladly and to real
20 that everyone interested In Michigan
can. and should. do something for
Michigan's athletic success"
