So far as. could be learned, the pro viso in the order concerning pre-pay meters means little , in Wilmington, ince the popular "quarter meters' have never been in wide use here. , The reduction order, however, is considered favorable, as a saving: of 30 cents on the thousand feet is an item that-will Permit a tidy little saving by UBfers of this fuel. : '1: J ,uA 0ULD MEET POL1TICAI, t : OPPONENT IN FOOT RACE LYNCHBURG.
