BILLS SHOULD
BE PROTECTED
Public Service Commission
Issues Interesting Decision
in Harrisburg Gas Case

The Public Service Commission,
in directing the Harrisburg Gas
Company to furnish gas to j. E.
Stoney, a Harrisburg. barber whose
supply of gas had been shut off at
his Seventh street home, because OF
failure to pay a bill of $3.50 and
who obtained a supply at his shop
at 1924 Market street upon promise
to pay the arrears and did not, es-
tablishes a precedent in such cases.
The opinion handed down by Com
missioner w. A. Magee says that
the company, "in depriving the
complainant of a supply at his place
of business because of a prior de-
linquency at his residence was
violation of the rights of the COM
plainant,' even though he had spe-
cifically promised to pay the old bill
as one of the conditions imposed
by the company before the service
was granted him at his barber shop.
Such conditions should not have
been imposed" says Mr. Magee.
The company by so doing was
merely trying to recoup the loss sus-
tanned by it at the complainant's
home, which loss was due to it's
l. L
Company Law permits the require
ment that charges be paid in ad-
vance or that a deposit be made to
secure future payments of such
charges or the supply can be shut
off at the first delinquency. The re-
spondent in this case failed to take
these precautions. 1t lost the pro-
lection afforded by the act and then,
instead of pursuing the ordinary
legal processes for the recovery of
its debt. it attempted this short cut
method OF collection. The act of
the company was arbitrary and op-
pressive and should not be sus-
tanned"
The Public Service Commission. in
an exhaustive opinion by Commits
sioner John S. Killing handed down
last night, holds that the commission
has authority to make an inquiry
into the reasonableness of the rates

the City OF New Castle Water Com
pany, which are fixed by contract,
The city of New Castle contended

Germany Must Say
Yes or No to Wilson
Note is Allies View

London, Oct. 5.-The popular
comment on the Presidents note
here is that it contains the strongest
language ever addressed by the head
of one great nation to another in
modern times. The note is welcomed
first, because t brings matters to
new state; further proceedings, if
there are TO be further proceedings,
will be in the hands of all the gov
ernments Interested.
Hitherto, so far as the public
knows, the nations associated with
the United States, and which have
more at stake perhaps than has the
United States. have been onlookers
to the correspondence.
The note is welcomed, secondly,
because it promises to bring the
season of discussion to an end al
together, one way or the other. No
one sees how the German chancellor.
Prince Macmillan, can fail either to
accept President Wilson's platform
or reject it. Acceptance will be
taken to mean that the Germans
regard their position as hopeless
and that disaster is imminent.
