COUNCIL VOTES
RATE SLASHES

Though questioning whether the
city schools aren't getting a bet
ter rate than the city hall, Works
Commissioner Bergersen led the
voting for the new commercial
lighting and heating rates set I'D
in Commissioner Dsvfsson's ordi-
nance. passed by the council on
Wednesday.
As matter of fact. the school
rate in the ordinance is not a new
one. but one in effect for several
years, DAWSON declared and. In
any event, the charter specifically
prohibits a tariff giving any city
department a lower rate than any
other customer in the similar class
of service.
What the new schedules do &C
complish is to give business houses
and bakeries. restaurants. etc, a
much lower rate for commercial
lighting and heat services than
have prevailed in the past, Davis
son said
The new rates go into effect
