COMMISSION CONSIDERING
new LIGHTING CONTRACT
Utilities Co. Offer Lower Rate on
Ten Year Contract But Want
More on Short Term

Discussion and consideration of a
proposed new contract with the
Southern Utilities Co. to furnish the
city electricity was taken up at the
regular meeting of the City Commits
sion Tuesday night, but no final
agreement was reached.
The city is now using about H.
500 kilowatts a month at rate of
&c per kilowatt for the first 5000,
and 61h cents for all over 5000.
Mr.. Skies, representing the utilities
company, was present and offered to
enter into a new contract to furnish
current for a period OF ten years at
&C per kilowatt for the first 5000
kilowatts and sc per kilowatt for all
current used in excess of $4,000
month. This rate would represent
a considerable saving over that in
force now, but the commissioners do
not seem to favor contract running
for a period of ten years. The utili-
ties company offered to contract to
Iui hioIl blli CllI lol u hNS NE"i pNAAOu
ct rates 20 percent higher than for
a ten year period. Commissioner
Jordan moved to accept the utilities
proposition, but his motion as made
did not receive a second. Commits
sioner Seward moving to amend Jor-
dams motion by instructing the at
torney and manager to have a con-
tract drawn up to be presented at the
next meeting of the, commission for
further consideration, This motion
was carried.
The manager reported that he had
an offer from Judge w f. Cooper to
sell the city 10 acres of land for a
needed addition TO the cemetery at
$523, the city to pay for survey and
abstract. This price is just what
Judge Cooper paid for the land
number of years ago with the legal
rate of interest added and his offer
is regarded as a very liberal one,
inasmuch as Judge Cooper is asking
no profit on the land and offered
to sell it to the town and wait for
the money as long as the town might
wish to owe him. The city manager
was instructed TO proceed to have the
land surveyed and have drawn up the
papers necessary to consummate the
deal.
The city manager reported that
since the county had quit using the
city's Jail he had had the Jail put in
good condition and asked advice as
to what to charge the county for its
use should it desire to do so in
future. 1t was the consensus of
opinion that the Jail should be run
along the lines of a hotel, with the
chief of police as the manager, and
that a day charge should be made for
each prisoner kept there. If the
county's guests should stay one day,
the idea was, a transient rate should
be charged; if a guest of the county
stayed for a considerable time,
lower rate should be allowed. How
ever. this was left up to the mana
ger and chief of police to decide, and
the city manager was instructed to
collect each month for its use, if it
is used and not to allow it to be
used if the monthly bills are not
paid

BOIL WEEVIL CONTROL
Plant Boards Announcement Elicits
Keen and General Interest

Few developments in the agricuI-
tural fields have aroused as much in
terest as the announcement a short
time ago of the development of a
very satisfactory and cheap method
of controlling the boil weevil in fields
.of upland cotton grown under Flor
ida conditions.
Both state and government officials
have commented most favorably upon
the simplicity and the apparent inn
portance of the method developed by
the State Plant Board. The officers
Of the Plant Board and the Experi-
ment Station at Gainesville have
been nearly swamped with requests
for the bulletin describing this meth
cd. Information already received
from various parts of North Florida
indicate that the method will be used
on thousands of acres of Florida cot
ton next season.
Ample provision has been made to
supply every cotton farmer in Florida
with the 72-page bulletin which full
y describes the experiments by which
this method of controlling the weeyiI
was developed, as well as specific
directions for making use of it. Fur
her information may be obtained by
writing to the State Plant Board at
Florida.
