For the neneflt of the signers of

council to make public Mr Forter'a;
proposals, which are as follows:
To the Xf.ivor and Counclltnen, Bay

tition addressed to this company re-
questing that our rates for lighting

without suffering an appreciable loss
each month
We believe that wo fully appreciate
the stand taken by the signers of the
petition, their views are only natural
and we do not presume to criticize
even the most persistent of them We
believe, however, that they, or most
of them, have overlooked the fait
that during the recent times of high
prices and financial unrest the prices
of all commodities doillileil and some
trebled while we did not get but 25
pel cent increase on our products
and that rather late in the game
Further we ask that you look around
you and see that an yet prices are

were prior to the unrest. Our sup-
plies, mnterinls and the services of
mu employees are costing us as much
in some cases more than they
