NEWS OF S HIGHSPIRE WATER GETS INTO COURT Public Service Commission Sharply Criticises Financ ing of Concern The Public Service Commission. In a decision handed down to-day by Chair man Ainey, declares the rates of tho Highspire AVater Company, operating in the borough of Highspire, south of the city, are excessive, and orders a new tariff filed by March 1. Tiie opinion denounces the financing of the company, declaring that a bond issue of SIOO,OOO made Immediately after purchasing the company for $31,000, was "outrageous." The decision sets forth that the com pany was lncorportd In 1901 and that a bond issue of $25,000 was made, $15.- 000 being sold and the remainder used as collateral, the revenue increasing until in 1910 it was about SI,BOO. In 1910 David Gring acquired the com pany for $31,000 cash, the incorporators getting about $7,500 lor their Interest in the property. It is declared that "almost immediately" a bond issue of SIOO,OOO was authorized and that the additional investments made since that time for extension would not exceed $1,500. "Afte rthe tir3t interest period the Inevitable default occurred In the payment of interest on the bonds and has continued to tills day." says the opinion. "It is also said that the pur chase price of $31,000 was considerably in excess of the fair value of the prop erty and that $24,000 is not in excess of the actual investment to date. From 1910 to 1913 the property had a gross income sufficient to pay reasonable operating costs, provide for deprecia tion and leave a net return of not less than six per cent, on its value. The commission declines to accept a valua tion of $56,836.89, made by an engineer j for the company, saying some charges are not based on substantial grounds. It is also stated that the commission Is convinced from the testimony that nothing should be allowed for going value in the sense that it is used by | the company, saying "The capitalizing of accrued deficits where such deficits are figured on estimated investment, partially estimated gross earnings and operating expenses estimated so as to directly contradict ail the testimony in the case will not be sanctioned by the commission." The fair value for rate-making pur -1 poses as of April 1, 1016, is not in ex cess of $28,000, it is held, and the legit imate cost of operating the property should not exceed $250 per year and that until the present management se cured control it was generally about SIOO per year. It is declared that by careful management the revenue can be increased and no allowance should be made for the SIOO,OOO bond issue taxes, and that SIOO should cover "all fair charges" of the company. Tli? commission orders the Jenkins Township Electric Light, lleat and Pow er Company to stop exercising any rights in Jenkins township, Luzerne county, until it secures a certificate from the commission.

"I had pains in my shoulders, neu ralgia in the back of my neck and head and over my temples and to add to my troubles I was subject to tho most violent headaches imaginable. "I tried remedy after remedy but the best that I could get was a tem porary relief and the pains would come back as soon as the effects of the medicine wore off."
