EDITOR.— Your "Pose" of Nov. 9 con- tained an item to the effect that a morning service of Electric light would e impracticable as so few con- sumers require it. Now what I, as well as others, would like to know is what the ratepayers are intending to do about a constant service of 24 hours from Hydro, when, as your paper im- plies, it is not needed 8 or 7 hours ? A CONSIIMER AND RATEPAYER. [NOTE BY EDITOR.—If we are expect- ed to answer the query we would say with Hydro the service is on alt the time whereas under proposed system it would mean additional expense for man, fuel and light. Probably some folk would use day service after day- light who would not requireuire it before particularlyif a constant power were at hand. Of course if enough people want the early morning service to pay the whole cost it is a different proposi- tion but otherwise the Council would be foolish to tackle it as taxes are too high as itis.] tib tit People We Talk About S.
