That experience left her in a weakened condition and made her an easy prey to the malady the second time. The passing of this beautiful young lady, for she was a beautiful girl in both face and character, has revealed, the wealth of friends which she possessed for upon all sides and from far is well as near, come expressions of sympathy and sadness because of the personal loss bo many feel in the death of Miss Stranquist.

He was authorized to make propositions In accordance with the schedule adopted. Editor Box Elder News j Inasmuch as the article appearing in your paper of March 28, is a little misleading as regards to the facts with reference to the attitude of the people of Perry toward the proposed Increase in the rate for electric current, I trust you will give the following space In your . valuable paper. For your information will state that 14 years ago the city adminlstratloa of Brigham approached some of the representative men of Perry and made an offer to supply electric current for domestic purposes at the rate of 82.000 per horse power for ten hour service, to be delivered at the city limits, with the assurance that this rate would not be changed for a period of ten years. And that after that time the people of perry would not be required to pay more than the people of Brigham City for like service. VI i , u? This proposition was accepted by the people of Perry and a contracf entered Into, and a company was or prized and 13,100 worth of stock sold to the local people of Perry and distributing system was installed. The revenue from this system in Perry has paid 8 per cent Interest on the Invest ment and made the necessary Improvements but has not paid for the system as stated In your article. The contract provided that the people of Perry should have all the power needed until the consumption reached t within 100 horse power of the capacity of the plant. And according to the contract that amount became a primary right Later Brigham City sold power to Smelter company at Hot Springs at a lower rate than the people' of Perry were paying and when we applfed for power for pumping purposes we were told that It could not be supplied because tbe limit had been reached, bo the smelter company were permlttei to step In ahead of ns and our Interests were not protected as agreed. The people of Perry do not and have not at any time protested to a reasonable increase In the rate to be charged. All we maintain Is that we should not be compelled to pay more for electric current than Is paid by people In Brigham City for power for commercial purposes, which is two cents per k.w h. as this Is the class we were placed in when the contract was entered Into This would mean that people of Perry would be paying about 120 per cent Increase in the rate charged, which we are willing to pay. We are not contending for the rate of nine tenths of a cent as Inferred in your article. All we desire Is that Brigfiam City furnish us power so that we can distribute if to the people of Perry at the same rate Brigham City proposes to charge Its citizens. It must be remembered too, that we supply electric current to those living at a distance. In one case we furnish power to one f home located mile from the fr ? 1 y r 4 T I r s r $ r I I r f one-hal- main line. If we are compelled to pay the rate proposed it means that we would have to charge 10 cents per k.w.h., th san.e rate charged by the Utah Power & Light Co. for like service, and it would be immaterial whether we purchased power from the Utah Power & Light company, or from Brigham City, and herein Is the discrimination. Why compel the people of Perry to pay more for electric current than the people In Brigham, since we have a contract for a cheaper rate? We are willing to pay the same rate as Brigham citizens, bbt no more. , Perry Electric Co.
