WATER AND THE LIGHT
QUESTION ARE DISCUSSED

There was a full attendance at
the Council meeting on Thursday
night when the members of the body
and E. R. Locke discussed the water
and light conditions. Mr.. Locke an
nounced arrangements were being
made to secure water from the
deep well at the Ice plant. Mr.. Rob
ertson viii make further ~investiga-
tion concerning the legality OF the
City paying for lights while the new
contract with the Power Co. is pend
ing. Mr.. Robertson also asked that
a new City Attorney be appointed to
act in the case to open the alley In
the rear Of Mrs. E. s. Caves prop
erty, as he and his father had been
Mrs. Caves attorneys for some time.
Mr.. Robertson stated to the
Council that his investigation had de-
termined. in his mind, based on deci
sions Of the United States su'
preme Court. that every utility com
pany Is by right OF law allowed q
proper return for expense of oper
alton. depreciation and Just interest
return upon investment; rates being
based upon the local conditions Of
each plant to obtain these results.
That the Public Service Commits
sion stated It Is not at this time
quite ready to take the local question
under consideration. for the reason
that il has as yet not fully determin
ed its own rights and powers I'm
der the newly enacted law.
Mr.. Locke's opinion colncided with
Mr.. Robertson but he thought Their
were some points which should be
more fully explained. Conditions
now are different than when the son
tract was made 10 years ago.
In the event the commission find'
no minimum can be charged there
would be a large per cent of the
consumers that would have theil
convenience served at an expense
to the company. Which loss would
of necessity have to be added u
the rates of those whose needs
demand a reasonable consumption o.
current, and are entitled to a fail
rate.
Mr.. Atkinson, of the Public Serv-
Ice Commission, stated the Commits
sion, by specific exemption of the
law, has no control Of any con
tract for city lighting between NUM-
cipalities and companies. And the oil
" suggestion the Commission would
make, by reason of the custom long
in usage, was that it would be dis
c%riminatory for a company to make
an especially low rate for city light,
ing, and be compelled thereby &c
add to rate to consumer that Justly
should be lower.
The Mexico Power Company viii
be glad to have the question of the
minimum settled, and there are Ger.
tain conditions that might be en-.
forced with a lower minimum that
would be more satisfactory than ex.
listing arrangements.
