Wilmington Minister Sends $2
"With My Compliments and
Good Wishes," He Says
During tho year 1911 the company sold
about 32,500.000 kilowatt hours for com- '
mcrclal lighting at approximately $2,500.- I
000. Tho rate ranged from 5 to 10 cents,
nnd under tho new schedule will bo told
at from 4 to 8 cents. Commercial power
sold during tho year 1911 aggregated
41,707.908 IC XV. II. at a rovenuo of
$1,731,400.
This item. It Is said, will not bo mater
ially reduced for largo consumers who
are now paying an extremely low rate,
but fdr plants of from II to 200 lior -power
will probably bo lowered from V
present range of 5,6 to 10 cents to uiio
ranging from 4'i to 8 cents.
'$150,000 SAVING TO CITY.
The municipal nrc-Ilghtlng rato will bo
reduced by $10 a lamp, according to tho
plans formulated in compiling tho new
schedule. This will mean a total saving
to tho city of $150,000 yearly, and tho
return of approximately that amount to
tho City Treasury for what now appears
as overcharge during the year 1915.
Tho rates charged to railroads and trac
tion companies will not be reduced In the
new schedule. Such conhumers nnd cer
tain of tho large commercial houses are
now obtaining current nt an extremely
low figure.
Tho proposed reductions may roughly
be divided as follows:

RESULTS OV COMPllOJIISK.
Mr. Lewis, addressing the commission,
summarized the results of tho comprnmlso
ns follows:
First. A reduction In tho prlco paid
by tho city nnd by prlvnto consumers
of electric light nnd power which will
amount, for tho year beginning April
1 next, in view of the Increased busi
ness of tho company, to over $1,C0,
000. Second. Tho return to tho treasury
of tho city of Philadelphia of a con
siderable sum ot money, for It Is part
of tho agreement reached nt an earlier
stngo in these proceedings that any
rate for public llght'ng finally deter
mined on by the commission shall
apply to tlio rato charged from ,Ian
tmry 1, 1015. Any sums In excess of
this rate paid during 1015 and the
llrst pact of 1910, will bo returned to
tho city.
Third. The opening of a new era of
great prosperity for the company : for
no ono nt nil ranilllnr with the facts
ran doubt that this great reduction In
rales will result ns It should In n great
Increase In tho business of tho com
pany. nirrrit.vs von co.vsimi:rs.
With legnrd to the electric rates paid
by tho city tho agreement Is retroactive.
Contracts for 1015 and 101G for electric
street lighting wero drawn nt former Di
rector Cooke's suggestion, with tho proviso
that any reduction In rato ordered should
dato from January 1. 10 15. This means
that the company will return $150,000
for 1015 nnd approximately $25,000 for
tho first two months of the present year.
No provision for a retroactive operation
of tho private customer's contracts wits
made.
Financed entirely by private contribu
tions from former Director of Public
Works Morris L. Cooke nnd other Indi
viduals who believed that the rates
charged by the company wero excessive,
tho Philadelphia Klectrlc case proved ono
of tho most notable that has como before
tho Pennsylvania Public Service Commis
sion nnd ono of tho most Interesting and
far-reaching of tho cases in any State af
fecting tho regulation of municipal utilities.
For a year and n half tho company bit
terly fought Cooko's efforts, and when
tho complain finally was brought boforo
the Commission. It Is charged that tho
company delayed tho proceedings by tho
Introduction of great masses of trivial
testimony of technical character. The case
was llrst heard at Intervals during the
latter pait of 1014 and early pnrt of 1915.
but when the new Commission was named
by Governor Brumbaugh, it was decided
that tho case should be expedited.
For H weeks theso hearings have been
going on every day. Commissioner John
Monaghan Kits been sitting on this case
over since his appointment to his present
post. Throughout the hearings tho com
pany hns endeavored to prove that Its
rates nro Justified by Its capital outlay
and equipment, while Cooke has shown
that other cities havo lower rates, and
tried to prove that the local company has
allowed Its plant to run down by not
conducting It elllclontly.
BASIS OF REDUCTIONS.
Tho reduction was estimated on the
basis of tho company's earnings In 1915,
which wero $7,840,207. Tho proposed re
ductions on tills amount would havo been
about $1,000,000, but as tho business has
Increased It is estimated that the' sav
ing fur 1010 will be $1,250,000.
It wns explained beforo fhe commission
that this saving will not mean a net
loss of that amount to the company, since
reduced rates bring business, and expert
witnesses for the complainants declared
that within three years the company
would bo earning as large a percentage as
before the reduction was made.

A negro became so enraged nt another

Tho failure of the Freemans to como

There was nothing nbout tho couple to
