A STATEMENT BY THE
Philadelphia Suburban Gas & Electric Company
lo Our Consumers.
Tlio whole matter of this com
pany's rates, with full facts appertain
ing thereto, is now in the hands of
the Public Service Commission. This
body, representing our Common
wealth, is above coercion by any
individual or corporation. It is, there
fore, quite irrelevant for this company
to enter into any sort of a controversy
with the general public on the quca
tion of rates.
It is apparent, however, that
company's policies arc being
this
un
justly attacked by certain parties and
interests; that our rates arc being
misconstrued in point of fairness,
and that the facts relating to out
operating costs and our earnings are
being widely misrepresented by the
uninformed. We. therefore, with
reluctance direct your attention lo a
few salient points
Due to the extraordinary and un
expected increase in the price of coal
and gas oil during the summer of
1920, our earnings were so adversely
affected that in some cases the actual
operating costs were not earned, and
through this decrease in the earning
power, our credit was impaired,
thereby hampering us in the matter
of extending our facilities. On ac
count of these conditions we insti
tuted rate increases properly filed,
advertised and posted in accordance
with law. Remonstrances were re
ceived and hearings accordingly were
held before the Public Service Com
mission. At these hearings it devel
oped that a satisfactory determina
tion could not be decided upon until
a complete valuation of the property
had been made.
This valuation the Commission
ordered us to produce and it was
further ordered that the inventory be
completed by July I. 1921, and the
Valuation finished by October I ,
1921. We therefore engaged the
Stone 6c Webster Engineering Cor
poration, engineers of world-wide
reputation, to make the valuation.
Present indications are that the -work
will be completed considerably in ad
vance of the time limits prescribed.
We stand ready at all times to
meet our consumers in any reasona
ble demand they may make, but in
the light of present conditions, we
deem it proper to rest our case with
the Commission and await their
action. We cannot, therefore, in
fairness to either the public or our
selves, become engaged in an unoffi
cial hearing of our case.
