But don’t let them fool you! to 4 cents a IT WILL BE be reduced from 4) IF THAT $50,000 JS SAVED, EXTRACTED FROM THE POCKET OF THE SMALL CONSUMER. It is by reason of the revenue derived from its'street lighting that the municipal plant is able to give the small consumer service at the ony rates. If the street lighting rates are cut, the small consumer’s rate must be raised. Keep that in mind, YOU COUNCILMEN. ttle Electric Co. used to charge for street lighting, the city would have paid, in the first six months of this year, the sum of $125,314. $50,000 a year over the rate we used to pay.
