The course between Snapshot Eclipse demoralized the _ talent played Snapshot to win at 5 to 1. Eclipse truly got in for a turn.and kill at the finish, but that w all that could be recorded to the dog's credit. Snapshot led well at the start, took the first turn and scored at least twenty points be- fore his opponent got in as_previously stated for a turn and kill. Beclipse did occasionally wrench a few times from the turns ‘made by Snapshot, but ac- cording to coursing rules wrenches of this nature do not count, consequently Snapshot should have won the flag with several points in his favor. In the course between Commodore Nash and Conqueror the last named dog was first to game, turned and wrenched several times lowing Commodore Nash, by favoritism of the hare, to get in for a turn and_kill.

Within the @RI % OO RO, L to be charged, I have found a very gen- eral sentiment in favor of actively resist- ing the atttmpts of the company to en- force the higher rate by bulldozing meth- ods, or by the roundabout method of promising a refunding of a portion if the lower rate is sustained. The only litiga- tion thus started is_in the lled ' wherein the company hs gainst W. B. Hooper fc of his bill at the higher Owing to the press comments on this case there are very grave doubts in the minds of many people as to the out- come and how it will affect them. It g not seem reasonable to suppose that the gas company would step in and so sud- denly select a person and open up to serve as a test of the rate if the fa and conditions were most favorable to it. “But even supposing that the surrounding this case were favorable for a fair adjudication of the rate, it lies within the power of the gas company to dismiss the action at any time when i interests can best pe subserved, and such event the matter will still be unset- tled and really in worse shape than at present. ““The only way of testing the matter for the benefit of the people generally through an action brought in their inte: est and over which they have control “Now, as to the payment or non-pa ment of gas bills, let me say this: ] consumers refuse to litigate and continue paying the $1 7 rate with the promised bate, depending upon others to make the test, there is little likelihood of there b ing any refunding. 1f they let the mat- ter of litigation rest in the charge of in- dividuals, even if the latter are in the end excess will not onditions is “I have found that many people refused to pay the $175 rate but hav made a tender of the amount of their bil at the $110 rate, which has been refuse by the agents of the company. In no has the gas been shut off for pay. Taking into consideration the fact that while a large number of parties are not paying. many consumers who have desire “to personally stand the brun litigatlon are paying under protest at $1 7 rate. The company is collecting in | this and at this rate a larger sum | than it would receive were it to adopt | the $1.10 rate and be able to collect fromi | all.
