EXTRA PRICES LOWERED.
South Norwalk Electric Light Cont pany Announces 10 Subscribers Rates Will Be Lower ed Shortly.

Rates Will Be Lower ed Shortly.
 South Norwa1k, July 10.-It re- mained for the commissioners of South Norwalk's municipal electric light station to pull a new brand of announcement in these days of high cost of living. It was said at a meet ing last night that the rates would be lowered, and that the reduction would take place just as soon as the new plans get under way" An enlarge ment of the plant will mean a reduc- ton in the rates. During war times when electric lighting companies in general were making announcements practically every week of increases in cost of current, the plant didn't raise the rate, but gave service at the old 1913 rate. Three months ago an in- crease by means of a fixed charge of 50 cents a month, was made by the municipal plant. The Connecticut Light & Power company, competi- tor of the municipal plant, has higher rate for service than the mu- nicipal plant, and recently made an increase of 75 cents a month fixed charge" for all gas users. whether prepayment meter or on the bill.

ALCORN DISSATISFIED
Docs Not wisl, to Serve Longer on State Civil Service Board Under Present System.

Hartford. July 1o.-State's Attor- ney Alcorn has written a letter to Governor Holcomb in which he ex- presses desire to retire from the state civil service commission when his term expires on October i and asks the governor not to reappoint him. The reason given by Mir Alcorn is his dissa tisfaction with the present civil service law which, he says. seems 10 him to make a mockcry of tho merit system 'in that it does not per- init the adoption of appropriate rules of uniform application, nor does it provide the power to enforce them when formulated"
 It has long been the opinion ex- pressod by Mir. Alcorn that his time and the states money were being vested in the present effort to main tnin civil service system. He says he expects that some day Connecti- cut will abandon its attitude toward the merit system in the state civil service system and either repeal the existing law or make 1t more effec- tive. - -
