Reports appear to be premature that
Plymouth Meeting is to have a flre
company and that steps are already
under way to organize. No effort has
been made, and the only activity was
to secure .several fire plugs for the district, At first it was bo Red the township supervisor^ could, provide this
convenience, and the Springfield Consolidated Water company, would not
erect the hydrants unless .the annual
payment thereof was guaranteed. It
is reported that this guarantee ■ was
made by the Barren Hill Fire company,
which is tte nearest organisation in a.
direct line to Plymouth Meeting. The
Plymouth Fire company is also within
the district, but is not so available nor
within such easy access. Having secured a, guarantee the water company1
will now place the plugs, which will
afford ample protection to the greater
portion of the district* inasmuch as 1000
or more feet of hose are available
among the local fire companies. "Local
residents have since guaranteed the
annual rental of the plugs, so that the
Barren Hill company is now given,'
assurance of being repaid for the outlay. It ls said that a plug will also
be located in Cold Point.

New   Gas   Rates.
Through""^Koticee mailed to all gas
consumers, it has been announced by
the Philadelphia Suburban Gas and
Electric company that a new form, of
gas rate will become effective Novem*
ber 20tht  1920.
In the new rates there will be reestablished, for gas used throughi tte
regular meter, the fosaaer minimum)
charge and the sliding scale rate for
gas. The small consumer will be the
gainer under the new schedule, since
his increase was the largest under the
two-way rates now in effect. The
minimum charge will be 90 cents which
includes the first 400 cubic feet of
gas. This same amount of gas costs
the consumer $1.35 under the present
rate. Under the new rate the cost for
the first 1009) cubic feet of gas will
be the same as,at the present rate. The
increase will take effect on the larger
quantities-of gas used. This waa inevitable under the change in rates, and*
is what was generally desired by Gas
consumers, i The Ready-tjo-Serve
charge has been in use for several
years in connection with gas used
through pre-payment meters and will
be continued.
In the future, discounts . will ; be
abandoned, but the consumer who!
does- not pay his bill within 10 days
will have to pay a delayed payment
charge of 1 cent per hundred cubic
feet; The gasl will continue to be
billed at the rate of. 100 cubic feet, aa
formerly adopted by tbe company.
