This boy lived in a larze, brown house with his mother and father, and also some summer boirders. These people had a little girl about five years old. Her. name was Elsie Moran, and our brave little boy is Walt~r Snhn- son. These two_children were -very zood friends. Although Walfer was five years older than Elsie he lked her company very very much. He used to play house with her and other games that small girls, like. They had a nice play house mear & pond of wator; the water was two and a half feet deep near the el they reeded water. they the pond.

The ‘adjustment proposed was based also ‘on $158 for 1,000 feet of gas, with a et reduction when more than 1000 feet of- cuhic gas is used. The meter charge is to be spiit wuwe several thoiisand feet of gas is used in one month. Much opposition developed - against the' service charze for' meters, sev- eral citifens criticising the action of the company; and' pointing fo the sum total from A 50-cent-a-month charse to the 2000 gas .users in the district cach month. President Barrows said that the service charge was not only for meter, use but for full eqUiyic....
