Judge Newcomb has Just handed down In Scranton an important ruling in the case of electric light contracts. In October, 1906, (Messrs. Gallagher and O'Connor, proprietors of the Arrow Cafe, entered into a contract with the Suburban Light Co. to furnish the place with light. A flat rate of $25 per month for a period of five years was agreed upon.

Subsequently the company passed into the hand of the Scranton Electric Co. Several months ago the officials of the company notified the proprietors of the Arrow Cafe that they would have to enter into a new contract or suffer the consequences have the light Shut oft. The opinion of tlie court reads: It is believed that they (the company) resorted in bad faith to th allegation of abuse, ajet means Of giving color to a mre pretext for evading the existing contract and constraining plaintiffs to pay a higher price for the service. Another excerpt from the opinion follows: But it Is also argued, defendant daesn refuse to supply the current ratea. fcnd therefore, plaintiffs have an adequate remedy a law, inasmuch as the damage would In that case be the measurement.

To the defendant this may seem very plausible: but In law it Is believed to be unsound. The maxims of equity are not to be made subserv-ent to the exigencies of a monopoly In a public service. The existence of a remedy at law, operating to oust the Jurisdiction of equity, cannot be made to depend on the consent of such monopoly, provided it is left tree to name the terms upon which the remedy may be had. That, and that alone, is what the reasoning amounts to. It -cannot be adopted without assigning to the court the somewhat sinister role of aiding a public service corporation in an attempt to force the consumer to accept such terms as it may see fit to exact.

If that be the law I prefer that the appellate courts tajce the responsibility of saying so. overskirt effect and trimming of solid band lawn in contrasting colors.
