ENTER PROTEST ON
ELECTRIC INCREASE.
City Council Points Out Reasons
Why Grangeville Electric
Petition Be Not
Granted.

The Grangeville Electric Light
4 Power Co, furnishing electric
service for the Camas and Nez
Pepce prairie. sections, has filed
with the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission an application for an
increase IN its rates. and this city
as well as the several other com
munitics served have through
their city council entered protest
against such increase.
AS grounds for such protest,
the protest from Nezperce states
|. Object and protest the
raise in rates as set forth in the
proposed schedule filed with the
Public Utilities Commission of
the State of Idaho, including
schedules of rates from Schedule
''A' to Schedule "U" inclusive.
for the reason that the same is
unjust, inequitable and excessive
and amounts to an increase of
more than 20 per cent, and in
some instances amounts to a raise
of 70 per cent over the present
rates now effective for residence
lighting, commercial lighting,
power and other purposes.
2. That a raise in rates at this
Time is unjustified in that the
rates charged by appli-
rant are above normal, and fur
her that said service corporation
has suffered less by deflation
han private business has, and
further that its losses should be
made good by decreased operat-
ng expenses.
3. That said increase should
lot be allowed as general
blanket rate for the reason that
aid company serves several dis
sinct commhnitiea and there is
nothing in the proposed sched-
lies to indicate that Nezperce or
my other individual community
IS not on a paying basis.

This instance, related by Mar
garet Van Scoyoc, public health
nurse at Medford, Ore, might
apply to most any school child,
and is a fair illustration of what
one phase of our county public
health service means to the rising
generation;
In a particularly beautiful
mountain city which prided itself
upon its scenery, during the rou-
tine examinations which the
nurse was conducting in the
schools, a boy of ten was found
to have markedly defective Wis
ion. The parents were notified
of this condition and requested to-
have it attended to by the ocu-
list. The parents were not neg
ligent of the child but due to the
fact that he had never complain
ed of his vision or any physical
condition that might result from
it, they had been in total ignor-
ance of the defect.
Following the suggestion made
by the nurse they took the boy
to the doctor and had him fitted |
for glasses. The day he received |
them was one not to be forgot
ten by those who witnessed the
scene. He took them from the
case and walked indifferently
over to the window and adjust.
ed them, then gazed off into the
nils and his little face became
positively illumed
ooh! Look !" he cried, "I can
zee the top of 'eml / can see the
place where the hills and the sky
meet. can see the trees way up
here. Oh, isn't it beautiful! I'll
never saw that before. +"
The poor little fellow had lived
Ill his life in this vicinity and
missed the gories of the scenery
lpon which his community prid-
d itself.

Financial Condition of Nezperce
School District.

On this page is published a
condensed statement of the fl
nancial condition of this, the
Nezpesce school district, as
found by the audit of the records
recently made by the accounting
firm of Byron Deffenbach and
Sons. This audit covers the last
four years, taking the balances
as they stood at the beginning Of
that period. The statement as
here given should be carefully
studied by every tax payer and
patron in the district so that a
better understanding of the CON
ditions may be had and for the
particular reason that at the elec-
tion to be held on September 6
a proposal of an additional five
mill levy will be voted upon.
This additional levy is made
possible by an act Of the last leg
stature and it is proposed here in
order that sinking fund
may be created to take care Of
The bonded Indebtedness of the
