Justice Fay Fined Fawley, of Fair Oaks, for Fighting.

,(Continued from Page One.)

of Fair Oaks. According to the evidence Fawley was talking to several other citizens of Fair Oaks, last ‘Thursday, wheu Burns came along. Fawley is said to have called to Burns and when they were close enough together for effective results, Fawley l smashed Burns with about all the energy he could muster. Burns hit the ground full length and FaWley was going to follow up the advantage of the first lick but was restrained by several men from doing so. Fawley is said to have accused Burns of making slighting remarks about his, Fawley's wife, although in the trial this was not brought out Fawley plead not guilty but Justice Fay found him guilty and assessed a fine of $3. When the costs were added it totaled up 318.25 and Special Constable Roudebush, who had made the arrest, then brought the prisoner to the county jail to serve out the amount at the rate of 21-00 per day. Another fight that occurred at Fair Oaks Saturday night hqs so far kept out of the court.

Irish Beat the Dotch in Porkish Lawsuit Monday.

The ownership of a pig was the distressing cause of a lawsuit in Justice Bruner’s court Monday. Charley Schleman was the defendant and Mack Sullivan the plaintiff. Charley had rented Mack some pasture and also furnished Mack with some pigs. The pigs were to be raised on the shares and Mack was to pay for the pasture. The time came to divide the hogs and Charley thought he wpuld collect for the pasture at the same time. Accordingly he loaded an extra hog in the wagon. Mack objected but Charley went home with the porker. Mack consulted a lawyer. So did Charley. Justice Bruner acted as arbiter and he decided that Schleman’s method of collection was not quite legal and gave the pig back to Sullivan. It looks a good deal as though Charley was out the bacon, the pasture and the court costs and ahead nothing but the experience.

ABOUT THE METER RATE COUNCIL HAS ESTABLISHED.

Initial Bate Must be Experimental and Change Can be Made If Receipts Prove Adequate. City Light and Water Superintend* ent C. S. Chamberlain has asked The Republican to define his position and that of the city council on the meter rate to be charged when the meter system is put in vogue. To' begin with the rate of 10 cents per kilowat for the residence section and 8 cents per kilowat for the business section has been decided upon. Prom present information Mr. Chamberlain thinks this rate is necessary and fklr. It is the rate that has been inyogue where ever |be meters have been in use. The city has no desire to increase its revenue for lights at the expense of presdht users, any more than sufficiently to care for additional expense, which will include the reading of the 'meters. v lt will take some little time to determine whether the rate can be lowered and if it can be, it is the lntention_tO make ft as low as po«pible to provide the revenue derived at the present time from the flatrate basis.

Some information as to the cost of burning electric lights of various candle power may prove interesting at this time, so .that readers may le familiar with the cost when the meter system is adopted. There is a great difference in the cost of burning the old style carbon lamps and the tungsten, the latter being ver much cheaper and at the same time of more powerful grade. The carbon will consume 60 watts of electricity an hour for each lamp of 16-candle power. There are 1,000 watts in a kilowat and the expense of burning a 32 candle power lamp for an hour would be .1 cent on the city circuit and about 1.2 cehts on the residence circuit The tungsten lamps fire manufac tured in 20, 3C, 40, and 80 ea»u!epower strength. The electricity consumption of the tungsten lamps is as follows: , 20 c. p. 25 watts per hour. ■ 30 c. p, 40 watts ner hour. •40 c. p. "3 watts per hour. 80 c. p. 100 watts v-er hour. It will thu;! be seen that 80 candle power tungsten burns less electricity than 32 candle power carbon.

As the carbon lights get older they burn still more although giving a poorer light. Ail subscribers will find it to their advantage to supply their residence and stores with the tungsten lamps. They will also find that it is essential that lamps are not left burning in rooms not in Use and that in leaving one room and going to another for even a short time, the lights should be turned out of the room vacated.

All subscribers are informed that the adopted rat '3 is experimental and witl be cheapened if it is found to greatly exceed the present reveue. The plant 1b the property of the city and hence the property of every taxpayer and all that is wanted is ti assure the city a fair return, based upon fair business principles. Electricity is the cleanest, most convenient and in practically all respects the most satisfactory light there is, and it is hoped that none will permit themselves to be inveigled into buying gas or other lights unUl they have given the meter Dlai. of charging a fair test.

Every penny that is spent for Red Cross holiday seals contributes to the care of some one who has tuberculosis. The means of securing money by the sale of these seals has been approved everywhere, because many can contribute to the worthy cause in this manner who otherwise could not do so. The aggregate funds from the sales amount to many thousands of dollars and provides for the care of those who already have the dread disease and for those who are hereditarily subject to it The Great Red Cross Society is accomplishing worlds of good in fighting the great white plague and all over the United States the seals are on sale. To aid the movement The Republican has been asked to sell the seals and a supply has been sent to this office. Every one in the city and the surrounding country should buy some, thus helping along a grand movement by a noble organisation. The s4Sds are 1 cent each. Let everyone-use them in sealing their Christmas packages and letters. It is a credit mark to all who use/them. Buy them today at The Republican office.
