NO RELIEF
When Will City Con-
sumers Get Lower
Light And Power
Rate?
Cheap Coal W. Cheap Lights.

About eighteen months ago the
owners 81 the Lancaster Electric
Light and Power Company went be-
fore the City Council and pleaded for
n higher light and power rate on the
grounds that coal they were then
using was costing Sll.OO a ton and
that coal represented about so per
cent Of the cost Of the overhead ex-
pense in maintaining lights and pow
or 20 the consumers Of Lancaster.
We are told at this time this same
coal can and is now being purchased
for less than $500 ton. yet the con-
sumer are still "holding the bag"
and paying 10 cents a kilowat for
power and Is cents a kilowat for
lights and up to this time We have
been unable TO learn Of any attempt
TO relieve the consumers Of this ex-
horbitant rate.
In the last issue Of the Record we
published list Of topics that will be
under consideration Of the Chamber
Of Commerce during the year 1922,
but we failed TO note where this
august body would attempt to get be-
hind a movement that would lead 70
lower light and power rate for the
citizens Of Lancaster. although its
main object is supposed 90 be for the
encouragement Of manufacturers and
new businesses TO come 20 our city,
but with the exhorbtant power and
light rate, one inclined to cast his lot
with Us. would view with horror and
astonishment a rate that Is nearly
double that Of many Of our sister
cities
We are informed that the old city
council at the expiration Of its term.
left the city Of Lancaster out Of debt.
II this be true could not the city
afford TO own is own light and power
plant. issuing bonds for same, thus
furnishing the "juce" a, minimum
cost to its patrons?
The columns Of the Record are
open for discussion on this matter
and we hope TO hear from some of
the more enlightened upon a subject
that IS Of vital Importance 10 the con-
sumers Of this useful commodity.
II was our understanding, that
when the old city council agreed 20
permit the owners Of the power and
light plant 10 charge the respective
amounts mentioned in this article, il
was on account Of the excelsior high
price Of coal, and that when this COM
modify was reduced to $500 a ton
or less, then the rate TO be- charged
was 10 be arbitrated and the consum-
er could hope for some relief. Com
pare the price Of coal now with what
1t was is months ago, and any fair
citizen would say that the
public should have immediate relief
from the excessive prices that are
now being charged for this service.
II is to be hoped that the present
City Council will take this matter up
at its next meeting and use its best
efforts to relieve a suffering and tax.

Russia will reject the French
terms for an agreement with the

This decision was reached by tho
Russian delegation in a conferences
which lasted the greater part OF the
night.
The Allies intend 10 combine and
coordinate the French and British

The principal differences between
the French and British terms is that
the French demand complete pay

foreigners. whereas the British are
willing TO compromise on these
points. When the notes are COM
