Union Water Case In opinion dismissing a complaint filed by the borough' of Mt. Union against the Mt. Union Water Company for failure to extend water mains to extensions recently placed upon the real estute market because of the in- Idustrial boom in tliat town Public Ser vice Commissioner William A. Magoe says that the attitude of the borough has been unreasonable. The company contended that the construction of new dwellings was due to the Industrial ac tivity and not evidence of permanent growth and that the extensions asked would cost $3,500. "If the respondent were compelled to extend Its lines into every new plan of lots in whtch a temporary demand for a water supply exists not only would' the existence of the company be Imperiled to its owners, but to the detriment of the town as well and when the boom subsides, as it will in all probability, the temporarily Increased revenue will have been extinguished and the substantial elements in the population will be called upon for in creased rates to pay a return upon the overextended plant," writes Mr. Ma gee. "The best interest of a commun ity dictates a gradual extension of its public utility facilities in accord with Its real solid growth." The opinion suggests that the borough and the company get together on a plan to finance the extension. The commission in another opinion by Mr. Magree orders the Marion Cen ter Water Company to file a "complete and proper tariff containing: reasonable rates and regulations" and to • Rive notice. The decision was rendered in ruling: against the company for shut ting off domestic service of consumers who did not pay "Are plug:" or "'hose" rates and the rate system In forco is sharply criticised in the opinion. The Commission In an opinion handed down to-day by Commissioner Brecht refuses to approve the applica tion for Incorporation of the Pocono Telephone Company to construct and operate a line between Stroudsburg and Tannersville, Monroe county. The line, built by private parties in 1913 and operated as a partnership since, is about nine and a half miles long, but the decision contains a ruling with regard to competition. The Strouds burg and Bushkill Telephone Com pany operates in the same neighbor hood. The opinion says "If the Incorpora tion of the proposed company were sanctioned by the Commission it would be an Injustice to all interests con cerned, since it would open the door to one more company to compete for its share of patronage in a territory already occupied and served by sub stantial and well established com panies in active competition and abundantly able to take care of all the business that may offer." Commissioner Alcorn has refused the application of the Edison Lycom ing Company, Wllliamsport, for an order on the Philadelphia and Read ing Railway to construct and main tain a switch connection from a pri vate side track of the company to the Reading tracks. The Reading an swered that the alleged switch is a branch railroad and is for the pur pose of connecting with the Catawissa Railroad. The supreme court held that the predecessor of the electric company had no right to construct a switch it had previously laid across a right of way of another company and ordered its removal. The Com mission holds that it Is without power to order the switch. TYPHOID CAUSES DEATH Millersburg, Pa., Dec. 5.
