ELEcTRIc sERvICE RATES

The North East Star says: 1T now
appears that the proposed increase In
the electric light rates of IS per cent,
applies only to Elkton where the
rate is 10 cents per kiiowatt hour.
North East has been paying IL cents
for several years, and the increase Is
only one-half cent. Other towns
have been paying still higher rate.
A representative of the Electric
COMPANY informs us that the purpose
is to make the uniform rate of 1874
cents for all towns supplied
We understand the proposed
uniform rate is not to be made until
the new transmition line is built,
making it possible to carry heavier
voltage and enabling the company to
supply the demands for power that
their present lines will not carry.
This new transmission line will not
be completed until some time during
the coming summer. q
