A special commission appointed by Presi- dent Roosevelt has already sub mitted report showing the cost of general power production throughout the country and the profits being derived by the con- cerns manufacturing the product.
 Stamford and vicinity and many towns in northwestern Connecticut which are served by the Hartford Electric Light corporation, will benefit by the new order as well as the city of hartford, proper.
 What Offer Calls For
 The offer calls for free power up to 50 additional kilowatt hours per month and will be effective for the 12 months beginning December 31st, next.
 The Hartford concern is an inde-
  nected with the Connecticut Light most of the electric power through the expiration of the free period materially lower "electric home rate" viii go into effect for the customers of the Hartford Electric IT ferIa kaa all announced. The objective of the of volume of business permitting the sale of power to it's custom CTS at the rate of cents per kflo- watt hour. The present rate in Hartford is on an average of four and one-half cents.
 In 1921 the Hartford concern was per kilowatt hour and since then has been reducing the rate. Four reductions have been made. Ac- cording to Samuel Ferguson, presi- dent of the concern, there is a road open to lower prices and the Hartford company Is on that road now.

ages such towers substantially like the one. in question have neither fences nor other bar riers around them.
 SProper solution of the ques- tion whether the defendant was under an obligation to maintain a fence around the tower is aided by the opinion in the cases of Nolas vs N. Y., N. IT. & Hartford R. R. Co., 53 Conn, 461, in which were considered the case of one boy ten years old who re- ceived injuries resulting in death and the case of his brother, seven years old, who sustained serious injuries not resulting in death when struck by a train, of the defendant.
 "One alleged ground of neg diligence was the failure of the defendant to fence it's road in a thickly populated district . and thus prevent children from entering upon it. The court held that in the absence of statute or regulation requir- ing g fence there was no legal duty on the part of the rail- road company to fence its tracks.
 Applying the test of negli- gence as the failure to per- form some legal duty by req son of lack of due care, that is, the care that an ordinarily careful and prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances, the defendant cannot be held liable in this case, because the evidence does not disclose that it omit ted to perform any legal duty it owed to the plaintiffs de- cedent."

ollows:
 '.So far as the evidence dis- closes, the defendants, in erect ing and maintaining on It's land the steel towers support ing the electric lines alleged to have caused the death of the plaintiffs decedent,. had com piled with the statutes and regulations affecting such tow CTS and wires. The evidence discloses that companies mak- ing and transporting electricity sometimes have warning signs on such towers and sometimes do not have them. In the ab- sence of statutory require ment or a valid regulation or order of 8 proper administra- tive body having Jurisdiction, the failure of the defendant to post warning signs on the tow CT cannot be held to be failure to use due care in the mainte- nance of the tower.
 Further, it is doubtful if such signs would have deterred Lu0 pldAIIJlL 1utCSIAt0 4AVAh climbing to the top of the tow CT. The expert witness offered by the plaintiff testified that he had found the value of such signs practically negligible.
 While a barrier such as 8 high fence might have prevent ed the plaintiffs intestate from access to the tower, no evidence was produced to show that such fences or other forms of barrier were in use by those maintaining towers for the support of electric wires. Counsel for the defend ant pointed out that even in one of the local parks fre- quented by persons of various
