IRATE RAISE IS HELD PROBABLE AFTER HEARING State. Commission Believed to Regard Railroad Petition Favorably it will be empowered to entertain complaints for adjustment. Railroad representatives declared that one of the intentions of the new Each-Cum- mins act is to iron out the disparity existing in interstate rates. Shippers’ Position.

Against Free Service The order sets out that the com- pany operates under a franchise of | 25 years from Aug. 10, 1900. In ad- dition to the customary provisions, says the commission’s order, it re- quires that the electric company slfall furnish electric current to light the city hall, engine house and city ef- fices without cost to the city and it shall furnish street lighting on a basis and rate to be made by agree- ment with the city. The amount of tree service given the city from July, 1916, to the same date in 1917 was $619.19, the com- wussiou says. It continued to in-y| srease until during the past year it 756.96. “The expense of furnishing this free service ig at present borne by the users of electric light and pow- er service,” says the comimiss(on 8 or- der. The commission says that for the city to receive free service puts a burden on other consumers of elec- tricity and power, because they must eventually pay for it. “In, the opinion of the commission it is.much more fair and equitable for the city to.make payment for such service and provide for meeting the expense of such service from th¢ taxes, which are considered equit- ably distributed and fairly among all itizens,” says the commission, add- ing that the practlée of giving free eetvic’ ~- and prices se you will DELCO-LIGHT tert oS yr more. | will supply ample power at H n exceedingly low cost. ry e grindstone, churn, hing machine ly nothing.

Dodge Brothers business has just reached and passed another mile- stone in its history. In alittle over five years more than one-half million Dodge Brothers Motor Cars have been placed in the hands of owners. If this sales record represented the appeal of a price, the total would not be particularly impressive. The eagerness to own the car is greater today than it ever has been.
