A QUESTION OF WATER RATES.
decision of the Public Utilities Commission
on the Searsport Case.

The matter of seasonal water rates is in
volved in the decision handed down Dec. 7th
by the Public Utilities commission in the case
of B. F. Cocord, ct ais, complainants, vs,
Searsport Water Co., and is of interest here,
where the same issue was made by summer
residents and called out a reply from Mr..
Wheeler of the Belfast Water Company.
The gist Of the controversy between the
compliments and the respondent in the case,
"B. F. Colcord. ct ais. VS.. Searsport Water
Company" was the requirement of the re-
spondent that full rentals be paid for each
half-year during any part of which water was
not used. Mr.. Colcord in closing the COM
plainants' case said: "In fact the Searsport
water-takers aren't kicking very much any,
way, but this is petition drawn up nearly
wholly by the summer people, and they would
like to know whether under the contract they
are obliged to pay for whole years water,
when they use it only three or four or five
months. That is all there is to it,
In dismissing the complaint the commission
ers say that the issue really resolves itself into
one between the permanent residents and the
summer people "Not how much shall be paid
the water company but who shall pay it? So
far as it costs more to serve the IL months
taker, he should. of course, pay more. But
such items are not modified by the length of
time of actual use and should properly be dis
tributed among all of the users whom the pub
lie utility must stand ready to serve. 1t is the
same principle that underlies the minimum
charge"

EAT A SQUARE MEAL AND
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION

There are hundreds of people in Belfast who
were not the least bit surprised wher they
read in The Journal that A. A. Howes & Co.
are selling Mi-o-na on a guarantee to refund
the money in case it did not relieve. This re-
markable dyspepsia remedy will relieve the
worst case of indigestion, headache, dizziness,
or the general piayed-out condition that af-
f1icts every one suffering with stomach trouble.
Mo ma does not simply relieve.it aims to cure.
A. A. Howes & Co. can tell you of many well
known people in this city who this remedy has
restored to health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment with little
or no benefit. No other dyspepsia remedy has
made so large percentage of cures as MILO
ma. 1t is so large that A. A. Howes & Co.
stand ready to refund the price to any CUSTOM
er whom it does not hello
The best kind of advertising is the praise of
pleased customer, and there are hundreds in
Belfast today praising Mi o-na because it does
what it is advertised to do. A few months
ago they could eat nothing without wondering
what the result would be. Since using Mi-o-na
they eat what they want and when they want
with with no fear of suffering.
