representative of the Bel Telephone Co was over the ground last week and received some encouragement from business people at Sharon and at If the company decides to make the connection this year the work will proceed in time to catch the camping trade fop Your bight One of the most important ques tions before the people- of Newmar ket at the present time is that of Electric Light Rates under Municipal ownership We have time and again stated that this question will never be satisfac torily settled until everybody pays by meter for what they burn The question is revived again over the action of Mr John Currey as will be seen by reference to our re port of the proceedings at the last meeting of the Town Council By the use of a meter and observ ing economy in his lights Mr was able to light his house last year for while the fiat rate for the same lights for the year is Mr Currey was satisfied that certain persons in Town were not paying anything like the amount they should pay for the current they were using and in order to demonstrate his theory he decided at the beginning of the year to light hishouse as some others are lit and pay the ex tra and prove his contention by his own meter wiprjr was read on Tuesday and the used amount ed to an excess of over the flat rate The cost for the cor responding a year ago by meter was 2G The point that Mr makes is this that people who their living rooms generally illuminated whether occupied or not do not an adequate amount by Iho Hat rate for current they consume We fully agree with Mr Currey on this point and have proved it by our experience with the meter Some time ago one of the Council tors had a put into his dence for the purpose testing the Dieter rate by comparison- and the test was largely in favor of the corporation selling current by meter no action was taken to increase the flat rates Without meters it is all guesswork about how much current is used For instance some people thought that the Methodist church was using more current thanthey were paying for- Wheri the Council passed a rest compelling all public buildings to use meters the Trustees had installed at a cost of and how it looks as though the church Will save a yW In lis light bill The Council of has been with this question ever since the plant came under civic con and it was settled this week by deciding thai every iiody pay by meter and a contract was given lor MP meters The Council of Newmarket should provide for the purchase of sufficient meters for evcryhfjay Well as the Town Hall and Council Chamber- The nYorieycari per cent and those who do not purchase can afford to pay the present rental per cent they would more than save the difference by of a economy and the corporation would save per cent in Its fuel bill A meter should be pub the street lights and the Town charg ed accordingly By so doing the present suspicion that the users of the electric current are paying for the street Uniting would be entirety

light con tracts require 30 days notice to ho given in by either party to terminate the same after the expira tion of one year He was of the opinion that in any case a contract should not he terminated without reading the The Inspector had gone twice to his residence for that purpose and had been refused ad mittance Mr was not aware of any such conditions and did not remem ber signing- a contract He did not consider that it was right for him to pay meter rate when he supposed he was burning on flat rate and not using any more light than other peo ple who were paying on the same system Mayor Cane pointed out that on one evening not long ago three mem bers of the Council and the Inspec tor made a tour of the West part of the Town and they noted particular ly that Mr Curreys house was more brilliantly illumined than any other The blinds being up it was easily seen that the front rooms were not occupied Had tfc House been on the flat system notice would have been given by the Inspector but as it was connected meter if he choosed to burn the light excessively he should pay for it As there had been 1 misunderstand ing the Council decided to waive the days notice read the meter on April and commence the flat rate from that date Col Lloyd asked if all public build ings were on the meter rate as per instructions of Council The Mayor replied that were with possibly the exception of Flan agans hotel He was not quite sure whether the meter had been put in there or not Col Lloyd gave notice that he would move at next Council meeting to have the 500 cheque of the Co
