the State Public Utility Commission.
He said the water company asked that
the matter be deferred until September,
as their chief engineer was In Europe.
The commission thought the company
could get other engineers to give ex-
pert testimony and stated that they
would give them two weeks, when the
hearing would be held. In the mean
time they requested the water company
not to change any more meters unless
requested or with the consent Of owners
of property and not to collect the in
creased minimum charges, which &c
cording to their new ruling, were to be
collected In advance, until after the
hearing. Col. Pfieffer qualified as an
expert on waterworks and he testified
that he could build a plant and lay
mains that would supply water equal
to the amount now produced by this
company for 1920, 600. They place the
cost of their entire equipment at about
$480, COCOON which amount the consum-
ers are expected to pay the interest.

Jersey where water rates are charged
