STATEN ISLAND SUIT
ATTACKS GAS RATES
Taxpayer Asks to Enjoin %
Cent Increase and Is Cent
Service Charge.

Michael J. Haggerty. a taxpayer OF Is
Fort Place, New Brighton, Staten Island,
yesterday asked the Supreme Court to
restrain the New York and Richmond
County Gas Company from making a
service charge OF as cents month ana
charging $1.25 a 1000 feet for gas. Ar
gument will be heard Wednesday morn
ing in Brooklyn.
The applicant contends the company 8
charges were never authorized by the
Public Service Commission, and William
K Welsh. president of the company. in
augurated the service charge on his own
initiative after the Supreme Court had
granted the company an income OF per
cent. on money invested.
Prior to January /, 1921, the company,
which has a monopoly on Staten Island,
charged 81 1000 feet and made no
service charge. After January l, almost
Immediately after the decision of the
Supreme Court. the company increased
the rate to $1.25 and began the service
charge. This charge. ii was estimated
yesterday. would bring the company
about 100000 year.
There are many people on Staten ISL
and who do not consume 1000 feet of
gas month, yet they are obliged to pay
for that much and the service charge.
If person does not consume any gas at
all he Is still obliged to pay the service
charge. Many small consumers have
protested.
Mr.. Welsh said:
Just how the plaintiff or his attorney
hopes to obtain in the lower court an
opinion in conflict with that rendered by
the Court of Appeals in an opinion writ
ten by the Hon. Justice Cardoza, the
presiding judge. fled February %, 1922,
is quite beyond understanding. Aside
from this, the Public Service Commission
has full and complete jurisdiction of
rates as we'll as the character of rate
structure. and has both these matters
under consideration and advisement at

LET'S GO

On Monday a petition was filed in
County Court, asking that the ques-
ton of the issue of road bonds be
submitted to the voters of the coun-
,y in the near future. The plan is
to issue bonds to the amount of

tions, payable in from one TO TWEEN
ty years. sinking fund to be set
aside out of the annual revenue to
pay the interest on the bonds and
the bonds themselves as they come
due. The circulation of the petition
has been received with enthusiasm
in various sections of the county.
In view of the fact that Ohio Coun
ty is hopelessly in debt, making
adequate road Improvement impossi-
BILE under the present regime, the
bond propos. ton appears to be the
only solution of the good roads
question.
If bonds are voted, the proceeds
will be used to build and maintain
OHIO County's part of the great sys-
TEN of State Highways mapped out
by the General Assembly of 1920.
Thus the aid of the State and Fed
e.al governments in road construc-
ton will be obtained in building the
main prfpripS of travel nj thp same
time releasing a sufficiently large
additional portion of the county's
own revenue to construct and main

cinct and use the saving to give the
people a chance to pull themselves

WHERE WATER in
BATTERY GOES
EXPLAINED

'.Where does the water go?' is the
question of the inquiring visitor to the
battery service station. His battery
gets thirsty and needs refilling with dis
titled water frequently, but just why
this is true is something most car
drivers have never given much thought.
The Willard Storage Battery company
mas spent thousands of dollars on book
lets and advertisements in their efforts
to impress the need of regular battery
filling upon the public. They have even
gone to the trouble of having a moving
picture film made on this subject which
shows how the water evaporates through
normal use, which necessitates re-
plenishing regularly. This film will be
seen by thousands of people who would
not otherwise get the few simple rules
of battery care.
The purpose of this film is primarily
to help motorists get better service and
greater mileage from their batteries
and in order TO accomplish this result
great deal of pains were taken to
make it more vivid. It's direction was
placed in the hands of an experienced
feature play director and actors were

Los Angeles to Phoenix: There are

Los Angeles to Phoenix via Mecca
and Blythe: Boulevard conditions pre-
vail almost the entire distance between
Los Angeles and Mecca. From Mecca
to Blythe, a distance of approximately
ninety-two miles, the road is in better
condition at the present time than 1t
has been for some time. While there
are no towns between these towns,
plenty of water is obtainable. Motor
lists should, however, carry sufficient
gas and oil to drive this distance. Ferrye

of the two routes between Los Angeles
and Imperial Valley, j. e., the one by
way of San Diego and the route via the
Salton Sea. Advise tourists to call at

routing to Yuma. AT the present time,
the plank road between Holtville and

MISUSE OF STARTER
OFTEN CAUSE OF
TROUBLE

What is more irritating to a. motor
ist than to hear a steady sizzzz when
he steps on the starter button without
hearing the staccato pop-pop of a start
ing engine.
''There is one thing more annoying y
saws Harry Glenn, local Philadelphia
battery distributor, ''and that is to
step on the button only to find that
the starter will not even turn over the
motor.
In fix like this, the irate motorist
generally blames the tagged out bat
terv 1t must be recharged. Buy why
so soon
Oftentimes this condition is simply
the result of the driver misuse. 1t
is Il common fault to press the start
ing switch and hold it in place indef-
initclv, while the starter sizzzz S and
the battery wears itself out. Fancy
carrying two hundred pounds up hill
without a stop. That, says Harry, is
analogous to making the battery turn
over the engine for a long period-a
useless waste of electrical energy.
The life of the battery villa be grSat-
w prolonged if the motorist will press
the button for only Il short period, nev-
er more than five seconds If the
motor does not start in that time, stop,
look, and think, what has been forgot

Short and frequent attempts are
much better for II quick start and a
slow discharge of the battery. With
such proper use Il much longer service
can be rendered by it.

MOTORISTS WELCOME
CUT IN COST OF
BATTERY

The general reduction of the price
of storage batteries of standard
makes was started by the Prest O-Lite
company, Inc, i'll q recent announce
ment which brings the prices of all
nigh grade standard automobile bat
teries manufactured by this company
down to the lowest point that motor
car owners have known in several years.
"This last reduction in storage bat
terv prices will be welcomed by the
automotivc public and is a further in
dication of the policy of the Presto
Lite company TO reduce prices as quick
" as possible 10 pre-war basis" says
Herbert Holt, the local Presto Lite dis
tributor. High prices of storage bat
terics, at least as far as Prest -O-Lite
is concerned, can take to a deep hole
and pull tie hole in after them
"It will be recalled that Presto
lite was the last manufactures to in
crease prices and the first x5o an
nounce a reduction. These new prices
win apply to all types and sizes and
are for the powerful, longlived
Prest O Lite batteries that are standard
equipment on eighty-seven makes of
motor cars and trucks.
"Only one grade of battery is man
nfacturcd by the PrestO-I.ite com
pany--it is the battery with the i'm
proved PrestO-Lite.
"The most important factor in bat

uniformity, and the expert moulding of
