Order Due Soon
On New Power
Rate Schedule
Total Years SAVING
Of About $33S,000
Is Provided

Members of the Public Utilities
Commission are expected to issue an
order tomorrow or Tuesday placing
into effect reduced power rate
schedules for meter readings dated
back to yesterday, calling for a total
years saving of about $338,000.
This will mean reduction of
about S cents a month on the aver
age bill of the domestic, residential
power user, but, under a revision of
new rates for these consumers in
compliance with the commission
instructions, 1000 or more addi-
tional customers will be brought
into the reduced rate list, and some
additional reductions will be given
to many more.
The company revised its proposed
rate reduction order yesterday after
the company and the commission
late Friday had agreed on a new
formula for accounting for revenues
and receipts for January, the lag"
month before the annual rate
change-over. The agreement elm
mated an issue over accounting
which had threatened to carry the
case to the courts.
1900 Item Remains.
Commission experts said the
agreed new formula still would
mean that the public would get
the benefit of a $4,000 item which
had been in dispute.
The new version of residential
scheduled "A" is said to award $780,
585 of the total rate cut to this
class of consumer. AS proposed by
the company, the new schedule
would be: For the first So kilowatt
hours, SO cents per kilowatt hour;
for the next 100 kilowatt hours, a
rate of 1.8 cents, and for the excess
over 1876 kilowatt hours, is cents;
the minimum charge remaining at
IS cents month.
Suburban schedule "a" and rural
schedule "a" was awarded reduc-
ton of $8,368.
Commercial schedule 81" was
awarded a cut of S3,906, the energy
charges to be: For the first $4,000
kilowatt hours, a rate of .95 cents
per kilowatt hours; for the next
140 1000 kilowatt hours, 6 cents, and
for the excess over 10000 kilowatt
hours. 5 cents; with no change in
the demand or minimum charges.
1927 ,851 Rate Cut.
Urban schedule "E," under which
there would be rate cut totaling
1927, ,851, carries these proposed
charges: For the first go kilowatt
hours, 38 cents per kilowatt hour;
for the next 100 kilowatt hours,
% cents per kilowatt hour; for the
next 1,750 kilowatt hours. cents;
for the next $4,000 kilowatt hours,
IL cents; for the next 155 900
kilowatt hours, OF cents; and for
the excess over 205, 900 kilowatt
hours, 0.6 cents; with no change in
the rs cents minimum monthly bill
No further changes we're offered
in the demand charge schedules in
this service.
Suburban schedule "E" and rural
schedule "E" we're awarded a cut
totaling s5,549; and for the Mary
land Light & Power Co. contract
rate, s3,065.

can't let things like that bother
you," she concluded brightly.
Her husband, Jim, has had
many hobbies during the years.
He has been director of the old
Licking County Agricultural So
ciety, and president of the or
ganization. For a number of
years he was assistant superin-
tendent at the Ohio State fair in
Agricultural hall. He worked in
organizing the Ohio Farm Bu-
reau Federation and had a paid
job as membership solicitor for
one year, while Anthony car
ried on the work at home. Jim
was member at one time of the
Ohio Fair managers association,
secretary of the Franklin Farm
ers institute several years, and
is a member of the State and
National Grange. He even had
a fling in politics being a candi-
date for county commissioner in
1886, but withdrew, and has
pinch hit for the township trus-
tees in road building efforts. But
to put it in his own words, "My
brother and l have always relied
on livestock raising, farming and
gardening for a living"
On the Hunter farm is found
Berkshire hogs, Shropshire
sheep, pure bred Jerseys, Perch
eron horses and Barred Rock
chickens. Needless to say every
farm animal on the place has
that well groomed, we'll fed ap-
pearance that is expected and so
necessary, if any farming enter
prise is to be successful.
Anthony, the senior member of
the partnership in reminiscens-
ing about he and his brothers
boyhood days, said the site of
Moundbuilders Country club,
was at one time owned by their
father, mounds and all-47 acres
of it. Their memory goes back
to the time when the land there
was titled, and not a great deal
of attention paid to the his
toric mounds. "We just plowed
around them," interposed Jim.
The Hunter Brothers are in pos
session of a number of relics
gathered from that historical
area.
The brothers remember the
days when the mounds were the
site of the annual encampment of
the National Guard of Ohio, and
how the tent cities housing sew
eral thousand guardsmen, would
spring up almost overnight.
They take pride in the fact
they were present on one occa-
sion when President Mckinley
visited the encampment and it
was their privilege to shake his
hand.

Nestled in a beautiful valley
seven miles east of Newark is
located the Hunter Brothers
ranch. In this pleasant spot sur
rounded by hills and bluffs
thickly covered with oak, walnut,
spruce trees, and a variety nf
others; in this peaceful rural set
ting, ]. w. (Jim) Hunter, and
his brother Anthony, have lived
and worked side by side for forty
years. They have shared alike in
farm duties and material gain.
They have taken reverses on the
chin and with grim determine
tion, came through to new sue
ceSSeS.
Although their interests lay
along somewhat different lines,
never has the occasion arisen in
all that forty years when slight
differences of opinion were not
settled without recourse to hard
words or i'll feeling-a truly 1e-
markable companionship rarely
seen in brother relationship.
Anthony, older of the two, has
always been the quiet, stay-at-
home type, a lover of horses,
both the sturdy work type and
the spirited broncho. He still
decries the passing of the driv-
ing team, with the richly decor
ted harness and the buggy.
Anthony has never married.
Jim, the younger, is full of
nervous energy, despite his
years. He has been married for
over forty years. Mrs. Hunter
has seen to the material comfort
of the home. 1t is she who has
performed the household duties,
SKINNED the milk, gathered the
eggs, and fed the chickens. 1t
is she who has cooked the boun-
tiful tasty meals that Anthony
and Jim have enjoyed through
out the years and kept them in
the prime of health, enabling
them to take care of the strenu-
Gus duties of the farm. The
latchstring is always out at the
Hunter farm in friendly hospi-
tality.
1t is Mrs. Hunter who churn-
ed the butter which has been
sought after by Newark city
dwellers. 1t is that butter that
j. A. McGonagle of McGonagle
& Son, funeral directors, have
placed upon their table for for
ty years. But last week she
went on strickland we don't
blame her. The rich delicious
cream from the seven pure bred
Jerseys will henceforth be sold
to the creamery. Mrs. Jim is
going to take things just little
easier. She feels that there
might be a time in the near fu-
ture when she can visit with
their daughter, a former Newark
school teacher, Mrs. Evelyn

Charleston, West Virginia.
