WiIHrnantfc people within few days
are to learn Of the reduced rates to be
put into effect May LIST by the Rockville
VTilli1nanao Lighting cornpany. The
| matter Of reduction in the price of gas
and electricity has been prepared during
past months by experts OF the company

! to be measured, taking in outside dffnen-
| sions, and lIte area thus found multiplied
| by. the number of floors. To allow for
| partitions, etc, there is to be a reduction
| of 10 per cent. in areas less than $500
| feet square, above that 4 per cent. per
thousand. When the area is determined
the consumer will pay Is cents per kilo-
wat hour for 1 IL kilowat hours, multi
piled by the 100 square foot area of tbs

sumner must pay this rate, but he cannot
get the &c current until the required
amount at 15c has been used, this last

also begin at 15c and york down to The

tanks in which to store gas oil whel
! prices are low, for saving if the pric
rises. This with new gas making ma
chimes and a new gas holder will irlsur
greater service. New gas mains are ads
to be installed to enable the company t
give better service to present and futur
consumers.
In eliminating the service charge as
separate item, the company has estah
lished a set charge of sc cents for tn
