by the Traction company this MORN
ing from the office OF Dan Maurer

Iment, with the minimum charge of
two dollars, this rate, however, being

ed with the lighting rates now in eff
fleet.
The heating and cooking power
service is different from that reQuir-

tiers, etc, and really consists of selling
power wholesale Heretofore at the
six-cent lighting rate, such consum-
ers have been paying retail rates.

POL|CENONAN
ADVOCATED BY
NONAN'S CLUB
Urge Action on Suggestion
Before Budget is Com
pleted.

A committee of ten women from
the Woman's Club appeared at the
regular weekly meeting of the board
of affairs this morning and suggested
that woman be added to the Fair
mont police force Y
Several members of the committee
voluntarily gave reasons why there is
a need for such an officer in the city
and appealed to the Board OF Affairs
to take action along this line before
the budget for the coming year was
made out.
Mrs. Jas. A. Meredith, president of
the Womans club gave an interest
ing talk on present anG future condi-
tons that would necessarily call for a
woman police Mrs. Meredith stated
that she was of the opinion that the
city needed a persin to talk to the
young girls and who would work with
them in raising their moral outlook.
She suggested that the new officer al
80 have the authority to censor the
motion pictures that are now being
shown in the local theatres.
At present Mrs. Meredith stated
there is a law providing for motion
picture censorship but there is no one
to enforce 1t.
It was further emphasized that the
city is growing, that before many
months, there will be new factories In
Fairmont that would employ hun
dreds of girls who would need atten-
~.
It was suggested by the committee
that in case it would be impossible to
add new member to the police de-
partment that one of the present po-
iiceman be dropped so that a woman
can be employed.
A motion was made by Water Com
sissioner Ira Smith and afterwards
carried by the board Of Affairs that
the committee from the Woman's club
have a meeting with the Mayor and
endeavor to work out the problem
A meeting will be arranged in the
near future and plans drawn up when
will later be submitted to the Board
of Affairs.
