ator and switchboard, we would
agree to contract for the complete
installation at this figure"
Rates and Conditions
Much has been said about the rates
to be charged by the N. s. p. Co.,
this having been stated at any where
from &c down to possibly &c, and the
people are led to believe that it is
a clear, simple, straight proposition
al SO much per Kilowatt hour.
This is not exactly the case.
There are two rates included in
the contract, either of which could
be adopted by the city, but they eX-
pect us to land that means that we
would) adopt what is termed the
Demand Rate. This provides that for
the first 100 Kilowatts of maximum
demand reached during the yea 4
charge of $50 per Kilowatt is made;
for all over 100 Kilowatts $24 per
Kilowatt. This maximum demand is
the highest peak, the greatest load
reached at any time during the year,
and maintained for Is consecutive
minutes.
Now this load on an electric plant
varies during the "a hours of the
day, with some degree Of regularity.
1t is, of course, greatest during the
evening hours, dropping off later in
the night. The highest point reach.
ed within the "a hours is called tho
daily peak.
The load also varies somewhat
regularly through the several sea
sons of the year. The highest peak
OF greatest load being reached in De-
cember, just before Christmas.
Now assume that this annual peak,
or maximum demand, will be 800
Kilowatts on the Saturday evening
just before Christmas; this demand
then, would cost us:
100 XIV. at 500. $4,000
200 XIV. at $24........... 4,S00
IOldi toVv
Remember, that in addition to
this, we pay for the current we use
in Kilowatt hours.
If this demand could be cut down
to $50 Kilowatts this item would cost
us:
100 XIV. at $50. SO, 900
$50 XIV. at $24. $500
Total ,$6. 900

Thirsty souls wro guzzlcd their

Congress to Investigate
Deportation Methods
New o1I- Tr1bunc
!, ashluyt0n Bii1'c01t


ASNlNGTON. Dee. Dissatisfied
with the way in which the Department
of Labor has handled cases involving
deportation of radicals, the House I'M
migration Committee to-day decided to
make a thorough investigation of these
eases and TO 90 to the bottom Of re-
ports that 1t has been friendly to many
Of these radicals
The committee expects to invcsti-
gate most of the more than 600 cases
which have gone through the depart
ment IN the last few years and will
call Secretary Wilson. Anthony Cami-
netu, Commissioner General Of lmmi-
grafton; Assistant Secretary Post,
Employment Service, and other of
ticials.
Every effort Will be made to develop
the attitude Of these officials toward
the deportation Of radicals. Until the
committee IS clear just how this for
elgn element * regarded there it is not
expected to frame any legislation to
curb the "Rcds.'
A step along this line was taken to
day by Chairman Johnson Of the com
mlttee when he got permission Of the
House TO take back to the committee
a minor bill under which provision had
been made for a border patrol to keep
foreigners from entering the United
States through Mexico.
Under tins bill the patrol would have
been under supervision of the Depart
ment Of Labor. 1t was said to-day that
tins provision will be recast and super
vision given TO the Department Of
Justice. The committee also may pu.
in the same bill provisions creating
naturalization courts in New York
which will give exclusive attention %
naturalization matters, relieve the Fed
cral courts Of this burden and spccl
up naturalization cases

seventeen Monday and the rest vcster-
day, countrywide campaign by the
United States Secret Service against
dealers and traffickers in war savings
stamps has begun. according to Johr
5. Tucker. agent in charge of the New
York district
Those mentioned in the Indictment
which were handed down by the Fed
eral grand jury to Judge Mack Of the
oNlte0 States Court include alleged VA
savings stamps "scaipers" post-
Office employees, and employees o the
"scalpers.' Most Of the indictments
We're returned under Sections l4sara
10 of the Penal Code. relating TO gov
ernmcnt Obligations. Section JAS makes
IT CRIME TO forge. counterfeit. or altcr
any governments; obligations while Sec
ton l3l Is directed against DassinU
UtterlnE. or possessing altered govern
ment obligations. The indictments, are
tho first to be returned where var
savings stamps have been involved.
Inc maximum penalty under each sec
ton IS fifteen years Imprisonment.
How Operations Are Conducted
War savings stamps become gov-
ernmcnt obligations only when they
arc attached to certificates boaling the
name OF the purchaser. They are re
deemablc at their current value. after
ten days notice, by the original pur-
chaser only. The sea lpcrs,' many Of
them doing business ON a gigantic
scale, buy loose stamps at less than
tnclr actual value. attach them to ccl-
as
a dummy purchaser.
In order not to wait ten da,s for re
demptlon. the scalpcrs' have practiccd
bribery OF poStofficc employees, who
caShed the certificates as soon as pre-
sented. When stamps attached to Ger
Ntlcates bearing the name of the real
purchaser are bought by the dealers,
they are removed and attached to blank
certificates for case in redemption.
