Two ol Sea lele Cut's Public I'tiliUea uave applied for an increase in rates to help meet ibe increased cost of operation, and no fair minded consumer will

object to either of the applications.

The Electric Ligb’ Compaut has given faithful service to: twenty years without a change in rate*. True, the service has been poor at times inasmuch as the lights did not come ou early enough daring the winter moulLe Tin* was explained by the fact that at the cld rates the Electric Company could not afford to employ extra labor for the earlier lights. Aside from this there hsve been only two nigbu ii which the town wm without lights ii twenty years or more, and with the present limited purchasing power ol the dollar, the justice of the request for an

increase in rate* is apparent. the case of the Water Company, h now applies for a slight increase,

th.s utility has been and is the town'*

most vtlcabir asset. When it

realised that the old well was not giv.ng an adequate supply ol water, and that in caae of fire there might be danger ol a water shortage, the company, without solicitation or urging, immealately put in another well, at a cost of over $10,000, and is now cleaning out the old well which will insure almost double the supply needed for the normal require-

Tbe company's service lias been un failing, and there has cot been a soil cient Mtural increase in the use of water ;n new buildings during the peat t*-i yean to keep up with the constantly increaaing costs of operation. For severa. years part the comgany has almost faced a deficit, and no corpoiation or busineas house can long survive under these condition*. It it prvuically certain that both the applichiiou* e. ill be acted npor. favorably by Ux Public Utility Comin.saioners. And no one will be the poorei thereby, and both corporations will be enabled to maintain and improve th set rice to the public.

Just because a man has a moderate - price car is no reason why he should get any less service out ol his tires. We believe that the man with the small car is entitled to just as good tire service as the man with the big car —and both are entitled to the best tire service they can get. That's why we represent U. S. Tires in this community. And why more car owners “—large and small—are com- ; ng to us every day for U. S. Tires.

Service is what the car owners of this community are looking for nowadays.
