PROPOSE TO ABoLLsH GAS METER CHARGE (SpeciaE., to The Bulletin.)

Special to The Burletin.)
 Putnam, Nov. 1s.-On account of objection to the so-called 50-cent meter charge for the use of gas by the Put nam Light & Power Co, the company has submitted for the consideration of the city fathers plan to do away with this charge and also a new schedule of charges for this commodity. At the present time with the additional charge of. 50 cents flor service the company is charging up to ,999 cubic feet of gas per month, $1,s0 per thousand over 90. .09e- cubic feet per month, $1.50 Der thousand. feet The proposed new rate minus meter charge, is: 100 cubic feet edr less per month <; 50 cents next 4,S00 feet per month, $2.10 next 15000 feet per month"; $1.90,, next S0,o0O. per month $1.50 per thousand. ,.- :,
 At the time :, the so-called meter charge was instituted it was stated that the charge was not for .tte use of a me- ter but was a service charge. It was argued that 1t costs just as much to serve small consumer as a large con- sumer and that a service charge was therefore equitable and would reduce somewhat the rate to the large con- sumner. SBut the public insisted on call ing the charge a meter charge" and VOJSS(co u pay IL. III it's new proposition the company states tha tthe proposed change in rates is simply. to overcome the objection of the consumer to the service charge and 1t is not to increase revenue for the com pany. The rate, if adopted, will return to the company practically the same revenue as is now being derived. The company also points out four specific instances of the working of the old and new rate. Today for 500 feet of gas the consumer pays $1.45 while under the new rate. he will pay s1.S4 For 1OO0 feet of gas today $40; under the new rate, $2.3s: for 1900 feet today, $z7S
 proposed rate. ,$2.S1.. For 2o00 feet to- day, $4.S0 new rate, $4.4s. The ave. rage consumption of family is 12ot feet per month. Thus the new rate would be increased over the old ol three cents. The slight increase would only be where the consumption wa. 1900 feet per month or more which un der the old rate was borne by the smaI consumers paying the same servic
 charge as. the large consumer. Tn, common council has. the matter unde
