Redouble Search

For Airmen

MEXICO CITY, June 23—Civii- ian and governmental aviators re- doubled their search today for two Spanish transatlantic flyers, long overdue on a flight from Havana, after scores of men returned from a fruitless hunt in mountains southeast of here where the Span- iards were reported to have crash- ed.

President Rodriguez‘ office rc- ccivcd information indicating the flyers, Capt. Mariano Barberan and Lieut. Joaquin Collar, might have been forced south of their course by storms and had continued west- ward through Tabasco statc over the Sierra Mountains,

In such a case they might pos- sibly be far from Villa Hermosa, in Tabasco State, where they wei-o last seen and the focal point of the search hitherto, it was said at the presidential office.

Consequently, preparations were made to extend the hunt into the states of Oakscu and Guerrero.

NEW YORK, June zz-(C.P.)—A London cable to the New York Times says a charge that the Brit- ish Government had been indulg- ing in inflation to the extent of £200,000,000 in connection with the financing of its exchange equaliza- tion fund caused a furore in Par- liamentary quarters Wednesday night. The fund created to control exchange rates by buying and sell- ing currency was increased by £200,- 000,000 by May 15 from the previous level of £l75,000,000.

It had been assumed treasury bills which had never been placed on the public market were issued around May 20 to enable the in- creased sum to be handed over to the fund, but thus far no explan- ation has been forthcoming as to whence this money came.

A suggestion that the Govem-

savings from the postal banks brought Leslie Horabeiisl-ia, finan- cial secretary, to his feet in the House of Commons Wednesday night with a denial that any treas- ury bills created in connection with

the advance to the fund had been taken up by the postal savings bank or any other Government De- partment.

No reference to the statement signed by the Amherst youth fol- lowing his arrest was made by the eight Crown witnesses who testi- fied in n. crowded court room io- dsy, but the prosecution indicated an effort to introduce it would be made late Friday.

Before its submission the Crown plans to call several more witness- es in its effort to link the Amherst youth with the killing of the aged

invalid at her home on February

Rains Prove Beneficial To Maritime Crops

(Canadian Press)

MONTREAL, June 22. — While conditions are fairly satisfactory in the Prairie Provinces, crops have suffered from intense heat during the past week and good rains are required over large areas to avoid serious affects, a Bank of Montreal crop report issued today says.

The grasshoppers menace has be- come serious and is causing dam- age in scattered sections of all thrce provinces, the report continues. In Quebec cool weather and lack of moisture has retarded the growth of crops generally. Ontario crops arc in advance of former years but rain is badly needed to promote growth.

Recent rains in the Maritimes have proved beneficial and crops above grounds are showing satisfac- tory growth. Early crops have made poor progress 1n the Fraser Valley district of British Columbia and it is estimated the yields of grain and hay will be considerably below aver- age. Conditlons have been more favorable in the interior of the pro- vincc.

Tho report gives the following dc- taiis of conditions in the Maritime Provinces: Seeding is well advanced. Hay promises to be s 800d crop- Apple orchards and smnll fruit-s promise well. Grass ‘pastures are in

fair to good condition.

| A new schedule of rates for cus- Wiomers of Tiic Itfiiritiinc Electric _ Company in this PFOVillCU has bccn )fyicd to go into effect oirJuly 1st and reductions under some will zip- piy on bills rendered August 1st. | The new rates have been approved tentatively by the Board of Commis- i sioners of Puulic Utilities as tempor- iary rates pending investigation of iota cincnis fylcci by the Company ‘as to the valuation of the prOpcrty of The Maritime Electric Company in this Province and their operating revenues and expenses. Until the

investigation is compietcci the Board _

are requiring ilic Company to fur- nish monthly SltitClllflllii of revenues and expenses.

Based on present consumption, the Company estimates that the re- ductions will involve savings to Charlottetown consumc-rs of $9,010.67 divided between commercial con- sumers, $4.357.15, residential con- sumcrs, $3,323.52 and street lights,

i$830 and to commercial consumers in the itlontague uica. of $317.20 rind

rcsidcntiai consumers tlicre $498.75..

0r total reductions in nil of $9,326.62.

Affecting Ciiarloiictcwnthe most important change in the new do- incstic or residential rate is that hereafter the olcl SUTVlCC charge of 75 cents for smaller houses and $1.00 for larger houses is replaced by o. charge of $1.00 for the first live kilowatt hours of energy. Hcreto- fore the first iivc kilowatts cost $1.35 uiidcr the higher service charge and $1.10 under the losvcr.

For commercial users the service charge is materially reduced for ail who now exceed the $1.00 minimum while the energy charge is some- what higiicr for the second iiiuidrcd kilowaLt hours consumed but; the re- duction in service charge consider- ably exceeds the increased charge for energy in practically every case.

In Montague and Georgetown a decrease is provided for most of the residential customers from $1.25 to $1.00 as the monthly sci-vice charge, and a decrease in the service charge for all commercial consumers ex- ceeding the minimum.

The charges of the Itioritlinc Electric Company for clcctric scr- vice and energy has been a cause of agitation among consumers in Charlottetown as well as in the Montague and Gcorgeimvii areas for some time. Tiic matter was brought to a hcad several weeks ago by the laying of formuLcompiaints against the Company before the Board of Public Utiiiiics Commissioners of this Province charging inadequate service and excessive mics.
