WESTERLY

The town of Westerly is to be put to the test as to whether there will be a contest over the alleged excess sive gas and electric rates and dis crinination in the charges to Wester- ly consumers in comparison with the rates in Providence and other plac- es supplied by the Narragansett com- pany. A few years ago this company purchased the Westerly Light and Power company with all it's charter and franchise rights, therefore the claim is made that the Narragansett company's rates should apply to West erly. In Providence the rate of the company is 1-2 cents per killowatt hour plus service charge, while in Westerly the rate is II cents. If the rates are equalized it would mean a saving 10 Westerly consumers of at least s24.0oo a year Through a com mittee of the town council aided by Professor H. F. Clifford, electrical ex- pert of Harvard college and Massa- chusetts School of Technology, an investigation has been in progress for several months and the report made by the expert shows a clear discrim- ination against Westerly. To carry on the investigation and acquire re- suits means a large expenditure of money, but contests carried on under the direction of Professor Clifford in Boston and other Massachusetts cities have resulted in reduction of rates that justified the expenditure.
 At a special meeting of the town council. with all members present, there was unanimity for continuation of the investigation. No funds are available for the service. It was de- cided to call special financial town meeting and ask for a substantial ap- propriation to carry on this work
 Under amended law the town meetings are required to be be held in the ev- ening. and will be the first under the law. The meeting will be called for
