LIGHT RATES MUST NOT BE INCREASED City Dads Change Ordinance for the Protection of the Small Consumers. RINE DRAFTS THE CHANGE City Attorney Rine has drawn an amendment to the new electric light and rate ordinance, to meet an un- expected contingency wherein, under exceptional circumstances, the new schedule of rates might increase a monthly bill a few cents. The mayor says he learned of two instances where bills would be raised slightly, an analysis of these cases showing that the circumstances were un®sual. The amendment provides that in no case shall the bill under the nqw schedule be more than it would have been under the application of the old rates. With this objection removed, the mayor now contends that the ordinance will stand the test and has his approval. The other city commissioners say they have not received any complaints from electric light patrons. Drawn by Electrician. This ordinance was drawn by the city electriclan at the request of the mayor and was agreeable to all of the commis- sioners, who spent several hours in an exocutive session In their espousal of the ordinance city commissioners and others who have been speaking for them at meetings have con- tended that the S0-cent minimum, of which complaint has been made, would ffect chiefly office patrons, who do not have occasion to use much artificial light. Manager Howell of the city water plant declares that the 50-cent minimum is just, but he contends that the new ordinance in the main would reduce the bills of the larger consumers much more than the smaller consumers. Dan Butler, who offered the first elec- tric light and power ordinance, declares he has not received even one complaint from citizens regarding the new ordi- nance as announced, Date Set for the Commencement at Brownell Hall The commencement exercises of Brow- nell Hall will be held this year on Tues- fday morning June 8 preceded by the following dates: Wednesday, May 19, field day, 20 p. m.; Friday, June 5, Junior day, § p. m.; Sunday, June 6, 11 a. m., in the chapel of 8t.
