CITY COUNCIL STUDIES PROPOSED NEW RATES
Donor Sends Half
Of $40 Bill

WANTED: The other half of
a twenty dollar bill which has
been halfway donated toward
the Cat-tail Fund!
William Crohen, secretary of
the fund, thought he should be
magician rather than an engi-
neer this week when he received
via mail one-half of $50 bill
with the following anonymous
note:
''If you find out who has the
other half, you can have half of
my half, and half of your half"
AS an engineer would inter
pref that message, Crohen fig
ures the cat-tail fund will be SO
richer if he can figure out who
sent half of $40 bill. But if
the would-be donor is not dis
covered, that donor is going to
be out twenty-bucks-as his half
is no good either until the
pieces are reunited.
Any tips on who might have
sent the message may result in
the fund being at least ten, and
perhaps twenty bucks richer.

The principal change in resi-
Dental rates is that the minimum
charge for the first 10 kilowatt

$1.00 a month, and the rate for
the next 80 hours is increased
from ,04 to .045 per hour, ac-
counting for the 35c increase.
Thereafter in the new residential
schedule, the rates are the same as
they were before.

rate structures, there is an ap-
