Westerly Lighting Matter Discussed Tuesday at At a meeting of the Westerly town council, several weeks ago, the Propo- sition of the Narragansett Lishting company for a reduction of votes for electric lights was adopted, but the section regarding the minimum charge of $1 a month was left open; or rather to be effective in connection with the new rates unless changed by the pub- lic utilities commission. This matter was opened to general discussion at the meeting of the council, Tuesday, with President Maurice W. Flynn, presiding, and ail members of the council, the situation remains just as it was before the discussion com- menced. Councilman Thorp, of the council committee on street lights, reported that there had been conference with representatives of the electric light company, and that the committee fa- vored the proposition to reduce the rate to 12 cents per killowatt hour as against 14 cents, and that the commit- tee were told plainly that the company could not do away with the plan of charging a minimum monthly rate of $1, or make the charge on a yearly in- stéad of a monthly adjustment. Jesse Gray, rate expert for the Nar- ragansett Lighting company, and its subsidiaries, said there was no objec- tion to a minimum charge, as such, the only objection is the method, and the rates are designed to prevent loss on any particular class of consumers, but in order to do this there must be a minimum charge, to save one class from paying the lighting bill of an- other. The contention of some people in Westerly is that the minimum charge, be on a yearly basis, while the monthly basis plan has been up- held b courts and all public utilities commissious, except in Massachusetts, where thers is a yearly minimum. Mr. Gray said the monthly minimum was more equitable. It was necessary to install a meter service and transform- ers, and every transformer and every meter consumes electricity whether used or not. These losses are to the It is necessary to have eters read and Inspected and must be a fixed charge for all If all customs used the regularly it would be more profitable to the company, as there | would be steady lode. If the service is installed and not used, it an add- ed investment of the company, and those who use only a part of the ser- Vice are not as profitable in propor- tion, as the continuous user. That is why the minimum rate is monthly and )‘r)( yearly. If the minimum rate was i the regular rate would have to incr: ed, and for no minimum, rate “‘auld be still higher. Frank W. Coy, reprasenting the com. mittee of the Westerly Board of Trade, stated that although the Nar- ragansett company recently acquired the local plant it was with full knowl- {edge of the local conditions, and knew the present company could gr: the yearly minimum rate and make money. The offer of the company to reduce rate is no reduction, unless the consumer uses above nine tts, and the reduction is mighty small at that, even if the differen and 12 cents does look big. said that if it was necessa: a minimum charge, there.w jection to a yearly charge. President Flynn said this electric light rate ought to be definitely set- the S tled and not be dragzed along from Saw Big taras month to month, taking the tims of v from nt to Hartford | the council, and taxing the patience to wi big Labor day |of the public. Councilman Thorp said the proposed rate, approved by the Tripp of C the | council, must pproved by the pub- lic utilities commission before it can be effective, and if the minimum LronJ from t Norwi New Cloak Factor ak factory w in the old s hands now at weelk.

He d the general feeling was that the present plan was fair. Rev. Joseph L. Peacock stated that Mr. Gray evidently had not interview- ed those who are affected. by the monthly minimum rate, and certainly had not spoken to him. Mr. Peacock said he was d to the monthly minimum, as others who had summer homes at Pleasant View and for current they did not use. : away from his Greenman ave- nue home on vacation, during the month of August he had to pay a dol- r for service he did not receive. He 1 if there were only half a dozen objectors that they ought to have fair | play. Councilman Fowler said he was a belicver in Massachusetts law, and could see no injustice to the company in a monthly mi mum rate. | F. H. Buffum said it was an injus- tice to those who closed their winter homes to go to the shore for the sum- mer, shonld be required to pay a of | dollar a month for an unlighted re: §5 and | dence. He did not think it was a fair -ould not settle and they|deal.

M. Shay Fertil- company, had_established a re- plant, off Margin street, on property owned by John W. Sweeney, and that it was a nuisance and a men- ace to health, and asked for the abate- ment. After discussion by Louls Ran- kin, Rev. Joseph L. Peacock, Thomas Perry, Arthur L. Perry and all mem- bers” of the council, during which it was claimed that a business of-that nature was an absolute necessity, but should be conducted in a sanitary way, the council declared the place to be a nuisance and order will be served on the owner of the property to have it removed. !
