cannot legally lower them. At the

brought by the Public Utilities Com
mission. ~. -....a w. E-,
An official Of the company states
that the company filed its new rates,
which went into effect 0ctober I, 1917,

company from reducing these rates.
In reference to the injunetiog while
Temporary issued from Judge Ash.
