TO DROP ''DEMAND CHARGE"
Mayor Claims Victory in Fight Against Proposed New Rates of the Connecticut Light and Power Co.

Having received assurance that the 'demand charge" of the Connect icut Light and Power company will not be imposed upon those who have offered objection, Mayor Quigley to- day communicated with the public utilities commission to have an ad- journment in the hearing set for March 10, ordered.
 The mayor made the following statement this afternoon:
 Pursuant to telephone conversation with a high official of the Connecti- cut Light and Power company. I am going to ask the public utilities com- mission to adjourn the hearing set for Wednesday,, March 10th. two or three weeks, as the Connecticut Light and Power company is now willing to offer the public a different system of rates and until they submit their new rates. I would prefer to adjourn the hearing until such time as we can have an opportunity to go over the new rates
 ''This official informed me that the lighting company is now willing to withdraw the objectionable service and area charge. the charge to be based upon the 1ilowatt hour con- sumption for electricity provided that the minimum monthly bill shall not be less than an amount adequate to cover the cost to the company of furnishing the electricity. Such min- imum monthly charge, however, en- titling the consumer to use electricity up to the amount of the nlinin um bill. However, the company will give to the consumers the option of the old rate based on a minimum charge or the consumer at his own election may take the rate which is now in controversy
