Repercussions of the Anglo-French peace plan giving Italy two-thirds of Ethiopia proved a diplomatic boomerang for Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secretary, who resigned, and for Premier Pierre Laval of France, whose government was threat-

and every body was smiling as they extended greetings to friends. Attorneys Henry B. Hellsr and Herman Myers have returned from a business trip to Indianapolis. , Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Holthouse and daughters Martha Jane and Betty of Louisville. Ky„ will arrive in Deca- . tur t:morr;w to spend the holidays | 1 with Mrs. Holthouse’s parents, Mr.; and Mrs. G. T.

She will , be accompanied home by her small ' niece, Jane Brumley, who has been j her guest for the past two weeks. ~ MAJOR VICTORY (CONTINUED FP.OM_ PAGE ONE) ! Britain was believed to possess definite assurances of support ' from the Mediterranean powers to- ! day in event of any attack on her by Italy. I It was indicated that Britain asked for these assurances, and re- ' ceived them, early this month— I before Sir Samuel Hoare went to ' Paris to negotiate Italian-Ethlop- ! ian proposals with Premier Pierre ' Laval. i It was disclosed yesterday in] diplomatic quarters that Britain i i had asked assurances of France,' Spain, Greece, Jugoslavia, and Turkey. ~ , But, strangely, the disclosure had been already on the floor of the house of commons, along with the news that assurances had been received. Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, made the disclosure in winding up debate in , the house of commons late Thurs-1 I day night. His statement was re-1 I ported yesterday by the United, i Press. Chamberlain said the govern- ' ment had not only asked the assistance of France In the event Britain was attacked in the Mediteiranean but had asked also the assistance of other Mediterranean powers. He continued: “We received from all France particularly — the most complete and loyal assurance that they would come to our aid if we were attacked by Italy.” CITY SEEKS LOWER FRQM vear and with December to be added. the plant will do approximately $150,000 worth of business in 1935. Savings to Patrons The new rate structure is de-: : signed to give a cut to customers who use in excess of 10,000 kilo-, watts per month. The first cut under the present schedule for kilowatts, the rate dropping to pl? cents for the -next 20.000 KWH Another cut is made for ,he next 20.000 KWH to .015 cents and for the next 20.000 KWH the ‘< e is reduced to .014. Over 70 'o00 KWH the rate drops to the low point of .013. Figured on|

i 150.000 kilowatts per month, which a couple of the local users consume. the average rate figures i .01444 cents per KWH. The present power rate for j 150,000 KWH averages .0192 per KWH. After the 200 KWH, the rate drops to 2 cents for the next 100,000 KWH and over 100,200 the rate is .0175 per KWH. A five cent basic power rate for a small minimum of 200 kilowatts per month is considered t>. very low rate. A small power user consuming only 1,000 kilowatts per month uavs an average rate of .026 per KWH based on the old and new schedules. The new schedule of power rates I is filed with the idea of attracting industry and increasing present use of city power. George Stulls, chairman of tho electric committee of the city council ma.de the motion to adopt tiie new rates. The other four councilmen. Andy Anne'man, Forest Elzey, Harman Gillig and Albert Miller voted for the adoption of tho resolution and expressed hearty approval of the plan to give patrona of the city plant low rates, both for power and residence. M. J. Mylott, superintendent of the electric department and Frank Burns, engineer a.t the municipal nlant were commended by councilmen and Mayor Holthouse for the "wonderful showing made this year." Data and figures supplied city officials were furnished by Miss Mary McKean, auditor for the light and water departments and tiie accuracy of the records wa.s shown in the tabulations reni dered.
