The amount of Interest thus ad vanced was $22,000, The opinion shows that five months after the new charge wont into effect the company lost 400 cus tomers, and the decision says that 'liiWwWT HIM— • I 1 "The Live Store" "Always , I "'Be Sure of Your Store" Doutrichs "Overcoat-Fair" I Where You Can Buy Your Overcoat For Least Money I Saturday was the greatest day in the history of this "Live Store" (and we have had some great days at Doutrichs).

It concludes) "In the light of all these conditions we cannot say that the respondent's ready-to-serve charge of 75 cents a month, when added to the meter rates, will yield too great a revenue or be unjust or unreason able/ The decision is one of a series in utility cases in which the commission has been reviewing the abnormal conditions now prevalltngi - Muitcy Company Hit Rates of the Muncy Water Supply Company, of Muncy, are set aside and the company ordered to file a new schedule of ratea within two weeks in an opinion handed down by Chalrnmn W. D. B. Alney, which bristles with criticisms of the man agement of the company, The re quest of ths company for an annual revenue of $12,500 is refused and it is limited to $13,000. The prop erty of the company was valued Sy engineers and given a reproduction cost of $64,630 after certain deduc tions, and the decision says that "the company is unfortunate in Its finan cial history and its ' management" and that the situation in regard to bonds and stocks "brings its own condemnation." It Is charged that tho company "departed from its filed tariff In collection of rates, particu larly metered rates," and the deci sion Bays "It Is rather startling to HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH note the Inequalities which have re sulted from Its arbitrary and unwar ranted violations." The company is stated to have charged six large metered users of water a flat rate and that when It should have col lected $9,000 under its old rate it collected about $l,lBO. An analysis of the old schedule Is snld to show that, while It was calculated to yield $16,000, the company collected $8,200, while the new schedule would have yielded $18,360. Those sums are held to be unjustified. The new rates are held not to impose much change on the big metered cus tomers but to increase domestic con sumers, and the decision says it would appear that the respondent, under the new tariff applying to do mestic consumers, "expects to make up in part the deficiency caused by its own failure to collect its filed rates -from Its other classes of con sumers," In another decision the commis sion dismisses complaints filed against the Philadelphia Suburban Gas and Electric Company rates for parts ol Delaware county holding after an exhaustive analysis of costs that they are not excessive.
