LIGHT and POWER
RATES INCREASED
City Water, Light & Power Commission
Forced to Increase Rates 80
Per Cent.

At the regular meeting of the Water,
Light & Power Commission, held Jan.
10th, 1918, a resolution was adopted
increasing all light, power and water
rates, except minimum charge on power
30 per cent. Said increase to take
effect from Jan. 1, 1913.
Owing to the fact that the price of all
materials necessarily used in the pro-
duction of electric current and water
supply have increased to such an extent
that the department is unable to take
care of the expenses at the present
rates, the commission deemed it neces-
sary to increase the rates 80 per cent.
Said increase to be in effect, while the
'1dgh cost Of production exists.
This is, perhaps, the only steam plant
that is still working under the old
rates. g -
The following schedule shows the in
crease in price Of the materials used by
the plant:
Coal 100 per cent
Copper Observation-Disclosures 80 per cent.
Steel wire ----------- IS per cent.
Meters, motors and trans : 8
formers -------------3 80 per cent.
Poles 20 per cent.
Electric supplies --------- IS per cent.

NO PRICE FIXING
TO Be TOLERATED
Government Warns Industries
Against Continuance of
War Regime.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. - Concerted
price fixing by any industry after the
Government ceases to exercise price con-
troll January / will be regarded by
the Department of Justice as in restraint
of free competition, It was stated to-day.
The explanation was made officially In
answer to queries as to what happens
to war time price fixing when the War
lndust ries Board ceases to function at
midnight tomorrow.
The attitude of the Department of
Justice, as outlined by Attorney General
Gregory, is that the antitrust laws,
still effective, will be enforced vigor-
ously. They have been in full effect
throughout the war. but the Department
has not regarded the action of industry
in maintaining prices fixed by the Gov
eminent as contrary to law.
Other Department of Justice officials
declared that when the War Industries
Board ceases TO exercise control of
prices January J. any act of a group
of business men tending to prevent free
play of competition will be examined
in the light of the law. It is felt that
although an immediate effect of price
agreements might be temporarily to
keep down prices and thereby benefit
consumers, this result might soon change
and that consequently the situation Is
full of danger. There Is no provision
in the law for consideration OF whether
the effect of the suppression of competi-
ton might be benevolent"
1t was said that so far the Depart
ment had not given particular attention
to the steel industry, which submitted
to the War Industries Board revised
list of prices effective after January !.

II was one of n party OF six German

American machines east of Fere-en-

was ahead of the rest of his squadron
and off to one side. He came straight
at me. and l swooped down under his
machine We seesawed back and forth
peppering away. and each trying TO gain
the advantage by climbing above each
other.
Roosevelt made several loops and |
admired his gameness. Once ] thought
his machine gun was damned, but q
second later he began again to shoot
and felt tho bullets striking my plane.
Then mounted above him and swooped
down to within twenty metres of him
firing all the time Then l saw my OPP
ponent collapse and his machine began
to fall"
Donhauser said he realized soon after
the fight began that his opponent was
not as experienced as some Americans
