fate rate", and ﬂied this rate with the Board. This change resulted. in the month of January, in a saving of $478.17 or 5.36% to the

tusers of electricity in Charlotte-

town. To make this clear-had the light consumed in Charlottetown during this month been paid for at the rate prevailing at the time our complaint. was ﬁled, it would have cost our citizens $8819.47, while with the reduced rate in ef- fect it cost actually $8346.30.

Thus Your Worship will seethat. these reductions themselves indi- rate that our complaint was neither frivolous. nor mischievous. and apparently not unjustified. To pursue this further, and admit the very remote possibility that in spite of this, the Board rulcsthat our complaint should never have been ﬁled, and assesses the costs against the City, and that the cost is $10,000.00 as the anony- mous writer, previously rcfcrmd to. estimates. The custom, and again I get my information from the authorities to whom I referred be- fore, is, that the Public Utility pay these charges, and in turn collect them from the complainants, and other users of electricity, by an increase in rates, over u period of five years.‘ Accepting the ﬁgure of $10,000.00 and considering its re- lation to $202i47.1l, the receipts of this Company for the year 1935, you will ﬁnd that to liquidate it over this ﬁve year period would mean an increase in rate of al- most exactly 1%. ‘This for the month of January last would amount to about $88.19, whereas the saving resulting from the re- duction made since the complaint was ﬁled, is, as I mentioned be- fore for that month $473.17. You will see from this, I horpe, Your Worship. that your Light. Commit- tee has not extravagantly wasted $10,000.00 as suggested. Disregard- ing altogether the saving of$l200.- 00 a. year to the City for street lighting, and admitting the almost absurd possibility that we may be required to puy for the investiga- tion, and obtain no further re- duction from it,-drawlng as dark

as you possibly can without trif- ling with the facts and ﬂguresyou ﬁnd that our citizens pay an extra $88.19 a month, and receive in re- turn n. reduction of $473.l7—-or. a roughly estimated net saving of $4620.00 a year, after paying the costs of the investigation.

This I must emphasize is the worst that can possibly happen, while on the other hand if we might venture to be a little opti- mistic it is not difficult to anti- cipate a further substantial re- duction. and in any event the vexed question of light. rates will have been thoroughly explored, and deﬁnitely answered. _

I have taken up this amount of your time, and the time of the Council in an endeavour to have a clear statement of the situation rear-h the citizens of Charlotte- t wn and thereby prevent any pos- si le alienation of the puhlie‘s
