PUBLIC IS URGED
 TO ATTEND MEETING
Mayor Wants Opinions Aired on
 Lighting Rates at Friday Nights Council Session.

The special meeting of the common council, called by Mayors Quigley for Friday night, promises to be a warm session. for the mayor himself anI representatives of the Connecticut Light and Power company will lock horns in a battle royal over the change in the lighting rates, while various council members will take sides with one or the other.
 Mayor Quigley, declaring and claim ing to prove that the new rates are not fair to the individual user, has called upon the council to express it's opinion and. if opposed, to so vote and lodge it's protest with the public util- ities commission. Manager Franklin and other officials of the lighting company, naturally advocating the scheme. will be present to boost it. In addition to desiring a full representa- ton of council mem bers. the mayor also wants many of the public as are interested to attend the meeting and sit in the gallery to hear the arguments, pro and con. and, if the:- desire, to express their VieMs in this open forum.
 The controversy over the lighting rates is too well known now to need . explanation. In brief. however, the mayor objects to the rates which com pei the user to not only pay a meter charge. but also a charge based upon the amount of electricity a customer could use if he wanted to. The mayor had come out tlat-footed and opposed the rate. Councilman Charles Gillian has sided with the company. Friday nights meeting will show how others feel.

GASOLINE INCREASES
 ARE AGAIN EXPECTED
Oil Trade Journal Explains Need of Increa Agent Has Re
 ceiyed No Notification.

Further increases in the price of gasoline are forecasted through the National Petroleum News. a trade journal having a circulation among the gas and oil dealers of the country dnd although the price increases seem inevitable in view of the statements made through that publication, Super intendent R. H. Tyler of the Texas company's local station said today that he had heard nothing of the increases. An increase. the second in about week, has been reported already in effect in other cities and towns. The increase in Berlin is from 25 1-2 cents per gallon to 26 1-2 cents per gallon, wholesale, bringing the retail price to 29 cents a gallon.
 One of the primary causes for an increase at this time is given as pipe profiteering. An immense amount of npiping is necessarily used in produc-
 hs oil and 'gas,' making profitable
 sale of that necessity. Pipe hrok-
 operating through the oil field
 ctions of the country have been re. sponsible for many increases in pipe costs, through speculation, and the cost naturally reverts to the ultimate cost of 'gas."
 The low cost of gasoline is a mat ter which the rehnerS point to in their desire for higher prices all around. Gas is now selling for , cents f. O, b. refiners with crude oil selling at $2.75 a barrel plus premium, whereas in 1917 it was bringing 17 1-2 gal lon with crude oil selling for $1.90. This shows that refners are now pay ing two cents more per gallon of crude oil than they were in 1917 and are receiving two cents less for gasoline than at that time. Gasoline is the life of the refiner, hence the need of advances in prices, they claim.
