She told the conductor she was

by her anxious and smiling
mother, she picked up her own

She wore it tight around her

Arthur L. Gilliom with the Ku-KluX

DISPUTE LIGHT RATE
Active Room Request
From Huntington Up.

With a request for approval OF an
optional "active room" rate sched-
ule for Huntington before it, the
public service commission is divided
on a question which has agitated
utility circles for months, observers
said today.
A group of Huntington citizens
have forwarded to Chairman Frank
T. Singleton request that the
optional room rate schedule be APP
proved for Huntington. A tenn
porary optional active room rate
schedule has been in effect in Hunt
ington for sometime. Many Hunt
ington citizens bitterly opposed it
when it was first proposed and sew
eral hearings have been held.
Request to put such a schedule
into effect at Martinsville also is
pending before the commission.
Under the active room rate Sched-
ule the householders minimum light
bill is determined by the number of
rooms wired for electricity in his
house.
