NO REDUCTION IN
 ELECTRIC RATES

Lower rates for small consumers of electricity in Waterbury are not feasible because of the extra ex- pense involved In getting power transmitted to this city, according to Fs. Q. Schneider, secretary of the state Public Utilities Commission. The letter was read ct last nights meeting of the board of aldermen, which had named Q committee sev- eral months ago to seek rate re- auctions.
 Customers using less than 2b kilbwatt hours a month are served ct an actual loss," said MT. Schneid- CT, and the Connecticut Light @ Power Go. is forced to charge high- CT rates to larger consumers.
 Power used in Waterbury must come from Devon, where the power plant was transferred from this city 20 years ego. MT. Schneider said that the transfer was made to secure lower coal costs at tide- water and because supply of con- densing water was available there.
 Rates here are higher than in New Haven or Hartford because in those cities the area served is much more compact, thereby les- sening costs, the commission sec- retary stated.
 The aldermanic committee, con- sisting of Alderman Patrick Shea, Daniel J. Driscoll and William Gerardi, met with Mir. Schneider at Hartford last month.

Detroit Faces A Crisis

In face of these distressing conditions, the
Detroit Gas Users Committee finds its sphere
of usefulness immeasurably enlarged.
Our job today is to keep the city out of this
Common Council gas deal, not only because we
believe it is bad deal for the city. We also be-
leve we should help the Mayor and what is left
of the Common Council to fight their way through
this crisis in city government.
One way is to tackle the jobs already on hand,
instead of looking for new troubles like the
experiment with an S87 000, 900 gas system.
1t is time our citizens looked into this thing
carefully for themselves.

This question of whether the Common Council
already has its hands full offers only one angle
for viewing the gas proposals. There arc many
others about which we will issue facts and figures
not previously published.
If you believe that Detrot's present problems
should be solved before we enter into new and
complicated business involving eighty-seven
million dollars, it is up to you to do something
about it.
Talk it over with your friends. Telephone our
headquarters or, better yet, come in to see us.
Get membership cards and booklets to pass out.
Give all the help you
And remember another thing.
There is only one Town Hall" where you are
allowed to help decide the gas question and that
is your voting booth.
