I Tho reduction vras described by ' Mr. Ta.vl(jr as one which the company ' was encouraged to make by reason of the growing appreciation on thu part of the public ot the economies and .advnntngcs of a more complete ele<trlc seivice, whieh, in turn, has i resulted in an Increasing use of that service in the home. Thc reducti(m, he said, Is predicated on the c cpec- tatlon that the lower rates will in¬ duce .a still greater use of that serv¬ ice.

EOF PARIY REGISIRAIN
GENERAL AWAKENING    OF REPUBLICAN   VOTERS
THE
Lethargy,     Largely     Responsible     for Domocrate Majorities of Recent Past, Sicms to no Longer Be in Evidence—¦ IRepublicans Now Alert The tabulation made by Chief Clerk Harry Shainline, shows the nu'mber of Kepublicans and PomocratB quaillflcd to vote at  the comiing primaries.  It  ap¬ pears that the Republicans have ft big majority over the I>emocrats. However, this is misltiading when it comes to a regular election. This is proved by tho vote polled during the election of grv- ernoi-  and  United   St.ate  Senator.  The re.gistration as  tabulated at  this time .-hows   107,376   Rer>ublicans  and   30,513, 1 .'emocrats. This number of either party Is all  who can vote at  the  primaries, but when  the  regruiar election  is hold 'it   will   be   found   that  the  IKmiocrats have  polled from  8,000  to  10,000 pijro votes than  the registration shows. In an analysis of the registration In
an upset of the Republican party is | passing, and that the old-time niiijnrily j for the  party will be in evidence.
"The New Deal" was a tricky c:it<-li phi"aso   and   can   not   i>e   denied  as  a ¦ vote gainer. L'espite this, however, Re¬ publican  leaders were very much  en- j couraged,     it   Is   sjvid,   with   the   vote j polle<l in the Bean-Bly fight. I
With   regard   to   tho   districts   sur- j rounding Ambler and    c.«necially    the' Whitemarsh Valley, comprising IX elec- i ti(m districts, there was a splendid in- ; crease of Republican .votes in the Iteiin i fight. In the past and before the "Newi Deal" theso districts usually ran tip the | splendid majority of 3,300, but this wasj reduced   to   900   majority   during   tho years of 1932 and 33. Puring 1934 an | analysis   was   made   to   .iscerl.ain   the ' reason  for the loss  of about  1,400  in j (mnjorlty, and the committee on     thi.s I work made the most surprising report that the Democrats polled but a very few  of  the   1,400   majority  votes,   and that the greatest number ot Republic¬ ans did  not  vote.  Not  only  was  this the situation  in  these  IS  districs,  bu- according   to   report   tho   same   thln,g hapt>enert in many of the election dis¬ tricts   throughout   the   county.   These are facts that can ont bo desputed. :m i an Qn,ilyBis of the crtnuing primai-y and' election   will   be   interesting.

Power to Issu3 Bonds Based on Rev¬ enue Derived from tho Project— FWA Federal App ination Doubtless Will    Ec   Made
Anibler Biii'oU'jli has taken .slepi to organize .a .Municipal Aulli ii;'.\. which will carry on the sewer wm;; under a new enieigency act of tli" I'ennsylvania  State  Dcgisltaure.
Steps in this directiim were t.ikeii at thc ndjourned Council meeting on Tuesday evening, all the ini'uibers being present, witii I'resident Troster presiding.
I'Jhgineer Freel and .Sulieiter Foulk ¦ were present. The former expl .iricd the practical operation ot the Au¬ thority and the new agencies set up by the Fedei'al Government, an.l .M ;¦. Fouike reviewed the fcatiin ;-: nl Uio new   Stale   legislation.
Mr. Freel slated that 'uiidcr the new I'WA dep.artnient 4.") percent of the estimated cost of the sewi'r .vnilf Projects will be provided in a gran; from tho government aiul the bal¬ ance of the sum can be iirovided in a bond issue wliich the government will purchase cm a four percent basis. said b'ind issue lo be ll'iuldatod within zn years from the revenuei: derived   fi-oiii   the   sewer   renta's.
Mr. I''rcel prefers this nietliod over tlio other jilans, for tlie Worlc can proceed expeditiousl.y iiiuler a co.n- tract award. However, lie revie\,e,i tho pian of the PWA operation, which he fears will result, in a long drawn-out epeiation. Under present Plans the work al tlic dispasal plant is being eouniuied through LWU grant for about  10  days.
Mr. I'leel presented "tentative lig- ures that it wiil cost about f.'OO.O.M to complete the sewer ci.nstruelion as panned. The work to date has eo.-t $I2.2i)IJ in excess of the original e.;- tiniale, due very largely to exigeti.-i-'s over which b'lrough authorities an I engineers  had  no  control.
