quarter. Although 1t was necessary for that dealer to carry several brands of cigarettes upon his shelves in order to meet the demands, he charges no more for one pack than he does for each pack in an order or u dozen or more, neither does he reduce the price because his facilities were taken ad- vantage of by the larger purchaser. The mayor views the demand charge as penalty for failure to use facilities rather than d charge for maintenance of those facilities.
 The demand charge will be figured on a basis of four cents a month for each 100 square feet of floor space to be lighted. Tn his own case. the mayor says, his bill will be about doubled on this account and the same will be true of many other users of the SerNlce. Other charges to be paid in the future are tho fixed rate of 50 cents for each consumer. to be known as the con- sumer charge, and a charge of five cents per kilowatt hour for the 'juice' used.
 It is the mayors desire to learn all the details of the electric company s plan before the matter is preached in the council, hence his communication to Manager Campbell. If the plan is as understood by him and oxpla ;ned this morning by him. he will oppose it's operation in New Britain on the grounds that the rates will be too high. .'.t .a.

 Dear Sir
 I am in receipt of a notice from your company regarding change of rate for metered electric lighting serv- ice in this city.
 I feel that the people of this. com munity should be given an oppor- tunity to consider this rate before it is put into operation. It seems to me that an eleven day notice of an en- tire change of rate is not sufficient. would like to discuss this matter with you at an early date because I feel from my present understanding of the rate that it is not a fair rate and it may be necessary for me to ad- wise that some action be taken by the city government in this matter. Very truly yours.

COUNCIL MAY ACT
 ON LIGHT CHARGES
Mayor Quigley Expresses Views
 on Proposed Changes

Mayor George A. Qulgley is in com- municatlon with Manager A. J. Camp bell of the Connecticut Light & Power company relative to the proposed changes in rates for electric lighting, and 1t is not improbable, the city's chief executive said this morning, that the matter will occupy the attention Of the common council ct it's next ses- sion.
 Objects to New Rates.
 The mayor objects to some of the propositions of the lighting company, principally that of the demand charge. As explained in a communication sent to all users of the service last week, this charge is to be made because Of the necessity of having facilities ready at all times to supply more electricity than the ordinary demand would call for. The company has explained that power houses must be built and main tained forces of worl1man kept in charge of those houses, a sufficient number of poles erected and. wires strung, and a force of repair men must be ready at all times to see that there is no break In the constant serv- ice which users are to receive, and under their contract with the com pany, have 8 reasonable claim tc eX- pect. These forces must be ready for extra demands for juice and while they may be called upon only at inter- vals the necessity of having them ready causes a new need for revenue hence the demand charge the com pany explains.
 Charges Imposition. s,
 Under this plan, the mayor believes. the users of electric light are being subjected to Q most unusual charge, and the putting into effect of such a. ruling would be an imposition upon the public. For a parallel he offers this: "A man purchases a pack Of cigarettes from a tobacconist for a

this be permitted? It would not sur

The reorganization of the army in

less be put into effect by the passage

universal military training, regular
army of 25O, 900, and promotion by Sc
lection from a single list. It will re-
move the anomaly of the present posi-
ton of General John Pershing and
make him, as intended by congress,
general Of the armies Of the United
States" and not, as now, subservient
to the chief of staff, his junior in rank.
The bill will also provide for a sepa-
rate department Of aeronautics, re-
estR blishment of the chemical warfare
service and other important changes.
The whole bill, as now whipped into
shape by the Wadsworth committee,
is virtually reputation of the policy
of Secretary Baker and General March

suggestions. In fact Baker and
March now stand alone in the support
