HOW ABOUT A BLANKET
REDUCTION OF THE cost
os PUBLIC SERVlcE2

with the announcement that the
Springfield Light company had re-
ceiyed a 20.year franchise. but had
cut the electric rate to &c per kilowat
hour. Twin City people began compar-
ing prices paid here with those OF
Springfield.
For the first so kilowats In a month.
which is within range of the average
consumer for lighting purposes, the
-.eesi-- ~ r. cents per kiiowat hour;
nearly twice the amount the new
franchise in Springfield calls for, and
for the next SO kilowats the price is
reduced to 10 cents per kilowat hour,
which is one anl two-thirds the amount
paid in Springfield, and the price re-
mains at this figure until the consum-
er uses 900 kilowats, which is more
than any family in the two cities uses
for domestic purposes during a month.
Then let us look at the local gas
rates 4 certain standard of gas is
feaHirRd by the utilities commission.
but are We getting that standard
quality of gasf Is it coal gas or water
gas the company Is furnishing the pat;
rons OF the company. The urbaHa city
council doubted the gas being of the
required standard and employed an
expert from the University to make
tests and found that during period
OF 80 days the gas failed to make the
required standard.
Just before the change of the state
administration the |. T. S. asked for
blanket increase of rates of gas,
electricity anH haat thpatxUhAt,t @ on
tire system, and about the last act
OF the old public utilities commission
was to grant 1t. On gas it amounted
to minimum charge of rs cents. OF
% per cent increase, and an increase
OF ~ per cent on amounts up to 5000
cubic feet used per month and great
er increase on the larger amounts
used.
During the war when we we're re-
qulred to have heatless days, the late
MT. Pepper, then superintendent OF
the local heating company, informed
the public that the heat cost the com
pany nothipg-it was all exhaut
9eam from the power plant, and they
NAG % make power inst the same.
Regarding street car fares, in 1919
the company told the public utilities
commission that II needed a higher
rate mere to pay the men more money.
every one knew that the highest
wages that has ever been paid the
men working on street cars here is the
,o"est they should have received dur.
ing normal times. considering the
siasS @ OF work, danger and responsi.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON CLUB MEETINGS
 OF WEEK

A red-chalk drawing of man, old, worn and weary, is the only authentic likeness in existence of the great Leonardo da Vinci. This portrait is the work of his own hands.
 That in his youth Leonardo was en- dowed with rare personal charm, strength and good looks-how one catches glimpses his physical beauty and marvellous mentality through the medium of his paintings, was graphi- cally told by Mrs. w. c. Todt on Mon day evening, November 28, when the Literary Session of the Thursday Ali ternoon Club met ather residence.
 Photo Engravings of da Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper (painted to appease a jealous wife), La Belle Feronniere", "St. John. the Baptist, "The Virgin of the Rocks" and "Mona Lisa", the despair and de- light of the world of art and letters, were shown and the story of each pie ture given.
 Short sketches from the pens of Rose and Hubbard were read, depict ing the life of this sixteenth-century Florentine genius, who was architect, engineer, astronomer, scientist, musi- clan, poet, dramatist, scu'ptor and painter.
 Continuing from the last meeting the study of the architecture of Flor ence, Mrs. Todt read fascinating des- criptions of the ancient Baptistery of San Grovanni (st, John), the Cathed- raf Maria del Fioni (Our Lady of the Flowers), Giotto's Campanile, and the Uffizi and Pitt places, with their un- rivaled. art galleries. The beauty and state of preservation of these famed structures were shown by pictures.
