Electric Light Committee Reports. A special village meeting has been called for Tuesday evening, July 5, to bear and take action on the report of tbe sjiecial committee for electric lighting, composed ot O. J. Marcott, A. H. Beedle and V. I. Spear. At tbe last annual meeting of the village, tbe committee had only two propositions to report but sine then one has been received from tbe Con solidated Lighting company of Montpel ier and an amended proposition from tbe White River Electric company. They are as follows: First, tbe Bethel Power Co. offer to sell the Bethel power plant to the village for the sum of f 60,000 and one of tbe largest stock holders offers to take 30,000 of the bonds. Later tbia offer was modified to lease the plant for a term of years with the privilege of purchasing at the expira tion of tbe lease, the village paying a yearly per cent oo a fair valuation. L'nder date of April 30 last, the White River company submitted a proposition for lighting the streets during a term of 10 years, beginning July 1, 1911. On the village agreeing to take two hundred 40 watt lamps, the company offered to furn ish, free, the present street lighting equipment, including tbe maintenance of poles and cross arms on which tbe wires now run and to allow the village to make such changes In tbe system as it might wish without interfering with tbe commercial lighting system; to furninh electric current tor street lighting at a rate of 8 cents per k. w. hour, furnishing and maintaining a meter to measure such service, and furnUhing also without ex pense to the village a man tc Install lamp renewals nnder tbe direction of the board of trustees. At the time the company submitted tbia meter rate, which it had filed with tbe Public Service commission of Vermont : For tbe first 10 k. w. hours, a charge of 12 cents. For tbe next 10 k. w. hours, a charge of 10 cents. For all over 20 k. wr. hours, a charge of 8 cents. A minimum rate of (1.00 per month for 5-amp. meters and f 1.60 for each 10-amp. meter. Readings to be made monthly. Tbe company to furnisn and Install meters. As loon as tbe present system can be changed to meters and tbe load during the day time ia sufficient, 21 hour service to be given. The installation ot meters to begin at once. j , May 21, the White River company pro posed to furnish two hundred 32-candle-power street lights Installed in a tungsten series svstem at the rate of f 11 each per year, all of tbem to bnra until midnight and tour all night; wiring, street fix tures, transformers and renewals at the expense of the company. A 10-year con tract from tbe date of installation is asked and, If the village accepts tbis proposition, the new system will be put in operation as soon as possible, or before tbe expiration ot tbe old oontract. The Consolidated Lighting company of Montpelier propose to deliver at its sub station in Grauiteville 3 pbase, 80 cycles, 12,000 volts electric current, this current to be used In the village of Randolph and Randolph Center for tba purposes of power, beating and lighting, tbe service to be continuous for 24 hours per day. It, will construct, if so wished by the vil lage, a transmission lint over a rigbt of way from Graniteville to Randolph which will contain all necessary apparatus, poles, crosnarms, insulators, wire, etc., to transmit electric current from Uranite ville to this village and will also Install telephone apparatus, wires, ato., to be used for service only in connection with tbis transmission line. Tbe cost of all line construction, both transmission and telephone lines, must be borne by tbe village of Randolph, but tbe company, if the village so wishes, will repay tbe cost vt the transmission and telephone lines and ail apparatus appertaining to same at a rate of not less than 25 per cent cf theMutal gross amount paid to tba company by the village in one year, tbe company paying interest on the money invested by tbe village. The electricity will be measured by a recording watt-meter installed in the transformer bouse at Graniteville by tbe Consolidated company, and billed to the village from these readings, and the latter has tbe option of installing a recording watt-meter as a check on tbe meter of the company. j The minimum load shall be 273.750 1 kilow att hours in one yesr. Tbe mini-j :nuin charge shall lie based on the yearly ; n,,r.i!f anil if the vearlv output falls be- I low the minimum rate, it shall tbeu be paid. With tbe exception of the motors now installed in tbe villages of Kandolph and Randolph Center, at least three montha' notice must be given to the Consolidated company before any new motors are put in so ss to give the company time to com plete any necessary arrangements it msy have to make for carrying these motors. Bills will be rendered the first of esch month, taken from the meter readings, and will be made out at the rate of five cents per k. w. h., payable on or before tbe lfitb of the month. The Consolidated Lighting company will grant permission to the viilaee of Kandolph to enter the towns of Brook field and Chelsea to distribute current for beating, lighting and Jniwer at retailed rates.' Before thit permission will be granted the approximate total number of k. w. b. to be used in one year must be made known so that the minimum rate can be bswed accordingly. Tbe company aks for a time contract extending over a period of 15 years from July 1, lSHl, July 1, "The foregoing," ssvs th committee, "embodies allot tbe f.rnjvwitions rweived and we at present see no ax a i table source of supply ol electric lifiits ou!i1e of these three s. trees.

Tbis company ia to install anotber steam tnrbin ol000 h. p." An Error Acknowledged. ' Mr. Editor: Our attention hat been called to a para graph appearing oo tbe front page of tbe Herald and Newa for June 2nd, under the beading, "The Milk Situation," which says, "In tbe Boston investigation ot tbe milk business, Hood & Sons, tbe con tractors who bought in this vicinity, con fessed to a clear profit of f 3,000,000, made ia the last five years at tba expense ot New England farmers. Yet the Hoods are moat unwilling to pay tbe producers a living rate for tbe milk shipped to Bos ton." As a matter of fact we mada no sncb statement, bnt we did submit a printed statement, with our books, which showed the company bandied nearly fl, 000, 000 worth ot milk during tbe year ending January 81, 1910, and its total net profit therefrom waa leaa tban 1.1 per cent of tbe total aales, or leas than f 31,000, and we take pleasure in attaching a copy of tbe summary of statement submitted. In fact, no statement was made or asked for except for tbe past current year, whieh ia the statement enclosed. Furthermore, we made the first advance to meet the farmers' wishes and finally made them tbe highest offer, which tbe Owher contractors later followed. Therefore tbe statements made as above are libelous in the extreme, and w as sume that a paper of the standing ot tbe Herald and Newadoea not desire to be tbe means of giving false Information to the public and that It would take tbe first possiblection in case a mistake ia made, to rectify such a mistake. For this reason we ask tbat yon take means, through your columns, to correct tbe error which you. have made, by publishing this letter in full, with the retraction of the para graph qnoted. Awaiting your early acknowledgement, we remain, Very truly yours, H. P. Hood A Bona. Boston, Mass., June 22, 1910. 1L P. Hood A Sons, Boston. Gentlemen: Your favor ot 22nd Inst, at band. I have no reason to donbt ths correctness ot your statement, and conclude that the re port of what you were alleged to have said during the course ot the recent milk investigation, as to tbe amount of your profits, as it appeared in my issue ot June 2d intt., was founded on faulty in formation. 1 am now engaged in tracing the source of tbia information and shall be pleased to advise yon bow the report cam to ut as soon as I am positive about it. You are correct In assuming tbst my paper does not aim or desire to dissemi nate false information, to tbe injury ot any person or company, and I shall be pleased to publish your letter, as requested, with ample acknowledgement of the error in to which we were led. Very truly, L. B. Jobnson. Come to Randolph to Celebrate. Plans for tbe Fourth of July celebra tion In Randolph are progressing favora bly, and floats and decorated autos prom ise to make tbe parade at 9 o'clock in tbe morning something worth seeing aside from Its amusing features.
