The town council got in electri- cal supplies, and voluntarily gave information that they would fur- nish them at an increase of ten per cent over the invoice pieces. We expected them to be as good as their word, but they evidently failed. Some articles, we under- stand, are sold right to the users. but others are away too high, so high in fact that some for their own interest had to get their sup- plies out of town. The goods we have been told are invoiced to the town at right prices, but the wrong is to be found in marking the selling price too high. The question then arises as to who did the marking. and whether the high prices are the result of ignoraance or design. That it must be one or the other we are forced to conclude. With ing there can be no personal gain to anyone. Why then should high- er prices be charged than the prices promised by the council themselves. and by them volun- tarily. If they agreed to furnish at a ten per cent advance they should certainly have done so. and if users buy out of town and leave what is now purchased on the council’s hands, the expendi-. ture which must eventually be1 paid by the town, will be a lot of unnecessary junk, \Ve want an explanation, and the peOple wam an explanation. We believe the peeple are fairly loyal to the town, and will buy their material from the town at an advance of ten per cent., but loyalty in most cases ceases as soon as the pock- ets are going to be affected. It reports be true who can blame the consumers for buying out of town, more especially so if prices charged are more than the prices promised by the councu.
