PURE WATER MUST
Be FURNISHED
According to Report
of Commission
Madison Water Case Has 0ccasiOned
Much Interest In this Section of the
County

A decision which has been awaited
with considerable eagerness by resi-
dents of this section more especially
those living in Madison has been rem
dered by the Public Utilities Com
mission. 1t is with regard to the
water supply and the Commissions
orders directs that pure water be
furnished Madison as soon as posi-
BILE.
The Madison Water Company was
the object of the complaint filed by
the citizens of Madison in January
and at the hearing on the complaint
some startling facts in regard to the
character of the water furnished were
brought out. The. impurity of the
water of the kennebec near the
source of the supply and water taken
from the faucets attached to the SER
vice pipes was later determined by
analysis at the State Laboratory of
Hygiene. The complaint under Sec
ton Al of the Public Utilities Act
signed by W. H. Kennison, M. D. and
sixty-three other residents of Madi-
son village Corporation, alleged the
service of the company insufficient,
inadequate and unjustly discriminatory
in the following respects;
First Hydrant pressure in at
tempting to extinguish fires. has been
found to be feeble and Intellectual.
Second. That present system of
fiat rates payable six months in ad-
vance, are believed to be unjustly dis
crminatory-a meter system should
be substituted
Third. The water furnished for
domestic purposes is unfiltered and
impure.
Fourth The water rates, tolls
and charges are excessive, unsatis-
factory and unreasonable"
The complaint was filed January
eth. 1915. and notice thereof was sent
to the respondent on January 2Sth,
giving it ten days within which to re-
move the causes of complaint to the
satisfaction of the Commission. The
respondent filed its answer February
s, 1915, denying the allegations in the
complaint and demanding hearing.
On February 9th hearing was set for
March 2, 1915, and notice held to the
respondent Hearing was held as or
dered, at which time the compliments
presented evidence in support of their
allegations, and the respondent filed
it's schedule of rates ann a copy of
it's contract with Madison Village Cor
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1915-06-17

poration. When the taking of testi-
mony had been completed the hearing
was suspended for further investiga-
ton by the Commission and argu-
ments. The Commission caused its
Chief Engineer to examine the prem
Uses and to take samples of the water
for analysis, and made an examina-
ton of the treasurer's books and of
the rates. Arguments of counsel
were heard May 25, 1915.
The decision eventually ordered by

turned to the old State of Maine, went
to Dead River and remained there
until 1871. In August of 1874 he
went to Auburn, where he now lives
with his son, ]. T. Spooner. On
October 3, 1878, he went into the
Maine Hotel in that city and owing
to his geniality and his ever accomo-
dating spirit he won the deepest re-
spect from all who had the pleasures
of being guests at that hosiery dur
ing the eleven years he remained
there.
The subject of this sketch was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Spooner
and is now 81 years of age, having
been born at Pennington Falls in
1928. His wife was Esther Spear,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Spear
of New Portland. The couple were
the parents of two children, son and
daughter, but the latter is no longer
living, having passed way when about
two years old
1t is to be regretted that Mr..
Spooner is in feeble health, although
able to get about the house some

ailment which affects his eyes. Near
ly all the citizens of New Portland,
as we'll as citizens of various other
towns in the state will remember
Mr.. Spooner with warm affection,
he having always manifested a most
genial spirit toward all. These
friends unite in wishing Uncle Add
the best of luck and happiness.
