operate in the township of that name
in Montgomery county and the charter
application will be sent to the Gov
ernor. The decision was rendered in a
case which had attracted general at
tention because of effect it may have in
other parts of the State. The borough
furnishes power to consumers living
outside of its limits and declared
through its representatives that it was
furnishing enough to meet demands.
The opinion says that the borough
claims to have the right to furnish
power outside its limits under the bor-
ough code, but that this question need
not be determined now. 1t is declared
1T could not be safely maintained
when service is furnished from the
surplus current of a municipal plant
that the same diligent effort will be
made to develop the territory and in
stall facilities within the reach of
everyone desiring service as would be
made by a private corporation, since
the latter is always more or less en-
gagged in seeking ways and means of
pushing forward its plant operations.
