Dearer Light "and - Water. On the Committes stege of the Stafatory Undertakings (Tempor- azy Increase of Charges) Bill, in the House of Lude recently, the Marquis of Crewe moved to restore the original provisionin the Bill that any modification of the statutory powers of gas, water, electricity, and tramway änder. takinge aball not be more shan rufficient to pay half the pre-war | rate of dividend. In the House of Commons, half the pre-war rate. was ingreared to three quarters, and Lord Crewe said this altera: tion would involve a burden of hundreds of thousands of pounds on poor people. The amendment was rejected by 32 to 3, and the Bill passed through Committee.

London Cadet Movement The Territorial Force Associa tions of the City and County of London have appointed a standing Joint Committee to deal with esdet-unite throughout the, mat ropolis. "Octonel Sr. Obarles Wale field is Chairman, the otherį members being Brigadier-General} R. J. Cooper, Clonel Sir W. Watts, Colonel Evelyn Wood, Colonel Vickers Daníee, Captain A. Hansbridge, Mr B. Martin Holland, Major J. E. K, Budd,} and M. C. G. Kekawick. In fature no new cadet unit will be recognised by either of the twoj associations without the authority) of the Joint Committee. The object is to strengthen and extend the esdet movement in London and to co-ordinate the working cf the two associations` in that direction.

Curates' Stipends. The Bishop of Birmingham, in| his monthly latter to the clergy, walls attention to the insufficiens | stipends paid to the assistant olergy and the difficulty of finding

a remedy for the present state of affairs. He points out that des man grows old in years he be comes, from the financial point of view, very often less valuable. I he does not get an independent sphere by the time he is 45, he is constantly cared less money when changing a carsay than he received when he was 30. I therefore seems to him that the reasonable arrangement would be that a young fellow should begin apon a stipend with which he oLD jast manage, but that he should have a regular fise of pay, until, say after ten years in orders, if he bab

not received a benefics, he should be getting £250 s year, and that it should be understood that after say, 35, that should be the stipend offered to him when he goes to a curacy, Men would then be less anxious to take what, after all, are poor livings, simply because they

want to secure at any rate a living wage and security of

te:ure.
