People Should Live
In Juleesburg Where
Price of Ice Is Low

The people of Holyoke are havinG
quite row on their hands over th0
price Of ice which the local company
is charging consumers. The Enter.
prise IN long article last week went
after the ice-company with a red hnk
editorial, severely condemning the
company for what is claimed was H.
extortlonate and unreasonable rates.
1t seems that the artificial ice man.
ufacturer there has everything hie
own way, there being no competition.
and that the manager is taking ~
vantage of the situation. Ice-users
IN Holyoke are compelled to pay $1.O0
per hundred pounds for business and
sl.25 per hundred for private use
of ice. In Julesburg we are getting
our ice for SOC per hundred. In Ster-
ling the price is Toe per hundred. b
VIII be seen from the above figures
that ice in Holyoke is costing tho
consumer two and one half times
what it is costing the Julesburg ussFe,
The owner of the EGGPLANT claima
that he is obliged to charge this priao
on account of the high price which
the town charges him for electricity
to run his plant. Opposed to th6
is submitted the fact that the power
rate for electricity in Holyoke is only
one cent higher than it is in Sterline
and that their rate is two cents per
kilowat cheaper than the lowest rate
obtanable in Julesburg. To remedy
the situation a movement has besn
started to establish a municipally
owned EGGPLANT in Holyoke,

Woman Arrested
For Violating
Traffic Rules

Julesburg has been mighty lucky
and fortunate too this summer in tho
matter of law observance by auto
drivers. Rarely does anyone violate
the speed limits, or other general
traffic rules. Last Sunday evening,
however, the city marshal was COM
PEELED to pinch driver both for over
speeding and failure to observe the
keep to the right" rules. The driver
proved to be Mrs. Herman Bruss, liv-
ing north of town. She came down
Pine street at high speed and turned
east on Front Street. cutting in very
close to the curbing. Driving Of this
sort is exceedingly dangerous and in
the very case at hand. Mrs. Bruss
very nearly collided with another driv-
er, going westward. as she made the
sharp turn. Marshal Twomey caught
her and notified her to appear before
police Judge the next morning. This
she did and paid her fine. We are
glad to see the city marshal enforcing
the traffic ordinances. If they are
not enforced there will surely be an
accident some day, and nobody should
object to their strict enforcement.
