The meeting place was changed from
The Lincoln Hotel TO the odd Fellows
Hall where a larger hall was avail
able.
Many conferences were held among
officials Of various districts last night
and early today and the question thor
oughly discussed In The group gath
erlngs. So far as could be learned, the
majority OF these groups decided the
only way out with honor was 20
submit To the proposition suggested by
The President Kansas and Illinois were
the only groups hanging back on in
dorsement OF the proposition as II wds
reported.

whether officials attending the meeting
here had the right 10 accept the "a per

presidents. especially from middle

RAISE ELECTRIC CURRENT RATE
Concordla Allowed Increase by Pub
lie Utilities Board.

The State Public Utilities board
has issued an order raising the rates
charged by the Concordia Electric
Light company. The board made an
exhaustive investigation Of its costs
Of doing business and took a great
deal of testimony. At the end 1t de-
cided that the company should have
more for Its current. The changes
made were as follows and are com
pared with the rate charged here by
the Riverside, Power, Light and Gas
company:
Residences-Oldr rate IL cents; new
rate 13 cents; Abilene rate 10 cents.
Comparisons being made on the aver
age amount of current consumed by
the domestic consumer. Concordia,
minimum $100; Abilene, minimum
so cents.
Business-Old rate, 10 cents; new
rate, II cents; Abilene rate 10 cents
Concordia minimum, $3.50; Abilene
minimum, $1.00.
The company was also allowed to
raise its rate to towns where II
WHOLESALERS the current
The action of the board indicates
that where it finds that electric light
companies are doing business below
cost it is raising the rate Everything
that company uses from poles to
dynamos, including labor and office
expense, is higher than ever in the
history of the business and yet the
consumer has been paying the same
rate for service-about the only
thing that the average family uses
that has not increased in price.

trolled by Eastern capitalists, while
the Riverside is financed locally, be-
ing largely owned by Its patrons

German prisoners.
At this port we started and sailed
across the chanel for Somewhere in

riding two days and one night we un-
loaded at Las Loames. had a break
