THE LAKE SHORE HEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 9. 1914. ELECTRIC CURRENT AT i niiicD date iiriur LUffLii iinii. nuft fublic Service Company Gives Out g New Schedule of Elec- tric Light Rates. /' Lower electric light bills tor Evans- ton householders, beginning at once, will be the result of m redaction in rates thai went into effect July 2. Another redaction is announced for Sept. 1. and a third for the first of next March. ..... .. .. The reduction which went into ef- fect yesterday was. from 14% cents Iter kilowatt, hoar to 14 cents tor the first thirty hours use of the maximum demand and 8 cents for the remaining tours' consumption daring the month. This amounts to a reduction of 9.62 per cent from the former initial rate. The second reduction. In effect Sept. 1, is from 14 cents to 13% cents, or 9.61 per cent, and the third, In ef- fect March 1,1916, is from 13% cents to 13 cents, or 9.6 per cent, the 8 cent rate remaining stationary. Put of 35 Per Cant. Since nearly everyone takes advan- tage of the discount, the final reduc- tion will make the net price of cur- rent 12 cents and 7 cents, or an aver- age rate of 10.3 cents. The percent- ages of the above are figured on the net prices. Not longer than four yean ago, the rate charged by the North Shore Electric company was 20 cents and 8 cents as compared with the present rate of 14 cents and 8 cents. The new schedule makes the cut in electric light rates about 35 per cent. This voluntary reduction by the Pub- lic Service company is in line with the best practice of light companies in other cities, in recent years. As their engineers perfect metbods and machinery for reducing the cost of production they pass the benefit along d the customer. In addition to lowering the rate/ this company, as well as others, Informs its patrons how to use current economically. They no longer furnish carbon- lamps on free renewals, but metallised carbon. Within ten years tbe Tungsten lamp has come on the market, and within the last three years II I'M. QftWl 4p*»»Ur improved* so that it now represents high effi- ciency. The company states that "the customer, by using high efficiency limps, under the new rates, can get more.light* and have his electric fan, electric iron, vacuum cleaner, wash- ing machine and electric toaster sup- plied for about what his electric light c'cst him formerly."

Their draft had been submit- ted to the attorney for the park And bad met with their approval. The matter, summed up briefly, Is to put the road in good shape and turn it over to the commissioners, who then have complete supervision. The further improvements would be paid for by special assessment upon the property benefited, The village would relinquish none of Jts power of con- trol. The park commission would simply care for the road. All but four residents along the road have signed the petition, which states a willingness to have the road turned over to the park board and to pay further Improvement along a pro rata scale of benefit to the property. Mr. Carnaban was anxious to have immediate action taken so as to en- courage the other north shore towns, but Trustee Hetnaen thought it had better go over a week, and moved such a resolution. Which was passed. Glencoe has all ready passed over her control of the road and other north shore towns are considering the proposition now. Other Business. Dr. F. C. L. Ziegler made a request for a permit to build a thirty-five room private residence on lots 5, 6, 7 snd 8, Linden avenue. These lots are joining and abutting the canal.

These vast open ranges of grazing land should be put to the highest use for which they are suitable, which, is the support of cattle and sheep in both small snd large herds. That use must be a regulated one end that regulation can best be exercised by the Federal Government, for these ranges are so vast that they extend beyond state lines and the problems Involved In their use and regulation are not local, but general. Still In Committee. But the opposition of those I have referred to was such that the bill in. question has stuck in the committee. The best we could do was to report a resolution to the House authoriz- ing the Secretary of the Interior to make an appropriate classification of the Public Lands which remain, and indicate which areas are chiefly valu- able for grazing and not suitable for homestead purposes. When this re- port is made It is hoped that the facts shown will be such as to conclusively demonstrate the wisdom and the need of such legislation as was proposed in the Kent grazing bill, and result in its favorable consideration when it shall be presented to Congress again.
