Will Soon Have a Day Current.

J. L. Brady has bought electric motors and is preparing to use electric power in his elevator. As soon .as he gets fixed for it the dav current will be turned on. '* There is lots of kicking on the meter rates by light consumers, and unless the council reduces the rate to something like it should be very soon,, a number of consumers threaten to have their lights cut out. Judging from our experience, in the lights' used at home and in the office, both on the old flat rate and the new. meter rate, the council would be justified at once in cutting the commercial rate to 6 cents and the residence rate to 8 cents. If further reductions can later be made they of course should be, as all that ought to be required is enough to pay operating expenses.
