A yearlong trial sets a maximum of 30 dollars per kilowatt and nine cents per kilowatt hour with devices recording each breakdown to gather data for fair rates. The change lasts one year, with Edison retaining withdrawal rights if terms fail.

Petroleum Fields Roundup Signals Active Southwest Drilling
In Struck Brook County the lower southwest field shows strong productivity with the Follawsbee pool leading. Tests on the J. H. McKee farm near the Ohio river were barren, alarming the pool’s expansion. Holiday's Cove and Wellsburg pools remain fair to good, with overall output around 2.9 barrels daily from the three pools. Prospects rise as creeks dry and roads improve, permitting more shallow wells at lower costs. Southeastern Ohio reports good producers in Real Run district and broader activity as weather allows. Oil prices hold. New York bulk at 75 1/2, foreign quotes steady with London, Antwerp, and Bremen.
