Several prominent pinhookers are
said to be coming some easy money
with the market steadily going up.
A well known local pinhooker is said
to have bought a prominent farmers
crop at 81 cents pound-think of
1t, and then to have sold it over the

that, either.

WATER AND LIGHT
INCREASES UP AGAIN
Council To Consider Question of Per.
mitting Present Rates To Cohtin-
ne Longer-City Fathers Meet

The question of whether the cisy
authorities are going to permit the
Richmond Water and Light Company
to continue the 10 per cent increase in
rates to consumers, granted the cor
poration last year came before the
City Council at its first regular meet
ing Of the year Thursday night. Ow.
ing to the fact that this meeting came
so close on the heels of New Years
when usually every business man 10
engaged on his books, etc, it was de-
cided to postpone the matter until
the regular meeting the first Thurs
day in February. On Mr.. O'Neips
motion the company was invited to
have its representatives present at
the next meeting and to show cause,
if any, why the rates should not be
lowered back to the scale charged be-
fore the war. 1t will be recalled that
the council permitted this fat 10 per
cent. increase in rates upon the com.
pany's showing that its costs had in.
creased to such an extent on account
of war conditions as to fuel, materials
etc, that it could not make a reason
able profit at former rates. The year
for which the increase was granted
having expired it is now up to the
council as to whether the company is
to be allowed more time on the in
creased scale of rates. 1t is expected
that officers of the company will have
some figures ready to submit to the
council at its next meeting.
The night was so bad from a CHI
matte standpoint, that the City Faith
ers wasted no time but got right to
business and finished up in short or
