For the benefit of those who will be unable to pay cash, there are possibilities of making some arrangements by which they can pay their apportionment within six months or a year, according to their means. Caah payments will do aw>y with a lot of "red tape," as it will eliminate the issuance of bonds to finance tbe road Improvement. The usual time to confer with' all legal work ln connec tlon with road work requires approxl mately three' months before contracts for the Jot can be let.

A large number of business men are giving free merrly-go round tickets wltb every sale of merchandise. Every citizen in Amherst should turn out for the biggest affair of the year, have a good time, and show tbe kiddles a big day. At u meeting of the local board of public affairs and representatives ef the* Ohio Public Service company In the local chambers of the town hall Tuestlay evening, nothing was decided upon In the wsy of changing the light rate to the consumers In Amheret However, the matter is still pending und will be settled in the near future. Ou last Tuesday evening. J, B. Johnson, general manager of the Ohio Public Service company, stated that a . new rate was to be charged to mnedct- pallties, who resold the current to ree- iileiiis for lighting and power purposes. This rate was to be three cents per ktloWat hour, or sn increase ot fifty per Tent over the old rate charged to the village. It was hoped at the meetlac Tuesday night that the rate to the local consumers could be established, but as figures already compiled by the local board ot affairs were insufficient to come to a speedy, conclusion, the matter has been lett over for expert engineers to decide. There were, however, a gr-aat many points discussed which are of lntereat to the public The first being that of the street lights. Several -members of the local board of affairs are of tha opinion that the consumers In Aas- herst ure paying for street lights, which should not be, ss their draw from the-villuge light fund Is lueuffi- clent to "pay for street lighting. It wus pointed out that some other means should be made to pay for street lights, other than chargia# It to the consumers, and It waa s-aggest- ed tu have it paid by taxation. Nottt- itg wus *le finitely settled, however. Secondly, the minimum charge la consumers, which Is ninety cents, le thought to be too small, and Public Service men, who were ent, suggested an Increase la net tiou with the above. It la thought tbat tbe discounts on minimum bills sre too large and that they should be lessened. Thirdly, the Oblo Public Service company, us well as the board of public uflulrs, ure of tbe opinion that the villuge should "receive a certain umount for depreciation of equipment and other materials and it was suggested that in tbe neighborhood of eight per cent be added to cover all depreciation. Fourthly, both purlieu believe that au additional percentage be added for the Investment, which is approximately listed ut $30,000. The suggested percentage wus estimated at about live per cent. Fifthly, it wus suggested that more distinction be made between users of electric current ter lighting purposes and power purposes so as not to show uuy partiality, as it were. The ubove statements are according to opinion expressed by several of tha men who were present at the meeting und were not decided upon definitely. In summing up the points that were discussed, including the present cost to the village and to the consumers and also the. new proposed cost, the cost per kilowat to the consumer will be approximately eight cents. Within tbe next week the Ohio Public Service company will send several expert engineers to Amherst and they will set u rule that will be fair to all consumers.

Every citizen in Amherst should turn out for the biggest affair of the year, have a good time, and show tbe kiddles a big day. At u meeting of the local board of public affairs and representatives ef the* Ohio Public Service company In the local chambers of the town hall Tuestlay evening, nothing was decided upon In the wsy of changing the light rate to the consumers In Amheret However, the matter is still pending und will be settled in the near future. Ou last Tuesday evening. J, B. Johnson, general manager of the Ohio Public Service company, stated that a . new rate was to be charged to mnedct- pallties, who resold the current to ree- iileiiis for lighting and power purposes. This rate was to be three cents per ktloWat hour, or sn increase ot fifty per Tent over the old rate charged to the village. It was hoped at the meetlac Tuesday night that the rate to the local consumers could be established, but as figures already compiled by the local board ot affairs were insufficient to come to a speedy, conclusion, the matter has been lett over for expert engineers to decide. There were, however, a gr-aat many points discussed which are of lntereat to the public The first being that of the street lights. Several -members of the local board of affairs are of tha opinion that the consumers In Aas- herst ure paying for street lights, which should not be, ss their draw from the-villuge light fund Is lueuffi- clent to "pay for street lighting. It wus pointed out that some other means should be made to pay for street lights, other than chargia# It to the consumers, and It waa s-aggest- ed tu have it paid by taxation. Nottt- itg wus *le finitely settled, however. Secondly, the minimum charge la consumers, which Is ninety cents, le thought to be too small, and Public Service men, who were ent, suggested an Increase la net tiou with the above. It la thought tbat tbe discounts on minimum bills sre too large and that they should be lessened. Thirdly, the Oblo Public Service company, us well as the board of public uflulrs, ure of tbe opinion that the villuge should "receive a certain umount for depreciation of equipment and other materials and it was suggested that in tbe neighborhood of eight per cent be added to cover all depreciation. Fourthly, both purlieu believe that au additional percentage be added for the Investment, which is approximately listed ut $30,000. The suggested percentage wus estimated at about live per cent. Fifthly, it wus suggested that more distinction be made between users of electric current ter lighting purposes and power purposes so as not to show uuy partiality, as it were. The ubove statements are according to opinion expressed by several of tha men who were present at the meeting und were not decided upon definitely. In summing up the points that were discussed, including the present cost to the village and to the consumers and also the. new proposed cost, the cost per kilowat to the consumer will be approximately eight cents. Within tbe next week the Ohio Public Service company will send several expert engineers to Amherst and they will set u rule that will be fair to all consumers.
