liable electric service.
The new schedule Of rates Is pro-
motional and it will be tho policy of
the company 10 pass on to its custo-
ners further reductions as the bust
ness is developed and new economies
arc realized in the production Of Cleo
tricity.'
City Commission Dcfcrs Matter

effective BY December l and tho
schedule will 70 before the State Rail-
road commission Friday for approval
If the commission feels that such &C
ton is justified. As far as the city
commission is concerned, it took no
action on the matter. Monday cve-
ming. but asked Superintendent Mat
tison 10 leave with 1t a copy Of the
schedule and a copy of a resolution
prepared to give the commission an
idea Of how it might express its at
titude toward the reductions. Any ac-
ton will be OF mere moral effect, as
the city commission has no rate su-

charges and explaining them in SUBJ
