HYDRO Initial Rate Decreased from $30 to $28, But Minimum Amount of Power Increased From 1,000 Horse Power to 1,500. The Hydro-Electric Commision has amended the power proposition which it made regentiy to Kingston, The original offer was as follows: First thousand horse power, $30 per horse power; 2,000 horse power, $28; 3, 000, horse power, $26; 4,000 horse power, $24. The Utilities Commission thought the initial figure was too high in vie of "what the Seymour Co, had offers ed, namely, $25. and at a confer- ence Engineer Kribs, of the Hydro Commission said he would recom- mend to the commission that the city be given the first 3,000 horse power at $28. As a result ,of Mr. Kribs" recom- mendation, the commission has made a new proposal. The initial figure has been reduced to. $28, but the minimum amount of horse power to be contracted for has heen increased from 1,000 to 1,500. There wiil, how ever, be a leeway of 25 per cent., so the minimum will be 1,125 horse power. On the basis of 1,500 h.p. and up to 2,500 h.p. the commision has agreed tp a rate of $28 per h.p.

Stratford jumped off just at the water's edge and got his feet wet, but Driver Young stuck to the "ship," and with the horses got into water up to his neck. Capt.

It will be noted that the steps in this rate are 500 h.p. instead of 1, 000 h.p. as in the former contract, and the city gets the benefit bf a re- duction of $1 for every 500 h.p. taken instead of $2:for every 1,000 h.p. A clause is also inserted in the new proposal providing for better control of the power factor. It is stipulated that the eity shall use the three-phase power in such a manner that the current will be equally taken from the three phases, and in no case shall the difference between any two phases be greater than ten per cent, The new proposition will be dis- cussed by the Utilities Commission in the course of a few days.
