INSPECTORS WON'T BUY JAIL CURRENT At a special meeting of the prison board the matter of having the Metropolitan Edison Company furnish electricity for the prison was thoroughly discussed but because the company failed to offer service at a flat rate, the proposition was turned down. The company offered to run a line into the jail building for $112, to furnish power temporarily as an experiment before submitting a rate, but the prison board decided that it wanted a definite offer if a change is to be made. The matter of having the local power company furnish electricity instead of maintaining an elaborate generating plant at the prison waa one of the recommendations made by the county commissioners, who believe that a lot of money can be saved by buying the juice.
