Service Commissioners AlcOrn
and Ryan Listen to Lower
Merton Lawyer

The protest Of a dozen or more towns,
townships and boroughs of Delaware.
Chester and Montgomery counties
against the increased rates allowed to
the Springfield Consolidated Water
Company by the Public Service Com
mission on water pipes and hydrants
used for fire protection in those sec
tions. was taken up by Public Serv.
ice commissioners Ryan and Alcorn in
thn city Hal today.
The townships represented included
Lower Merton. Cheltenham, Springfield.
Upper Darby. Haverford, Abingdon and
, Lansdowne. Swarthmore and Sharon
| Hill
II was contendcd by Parker S. will
lams. representing Lower Merton and
several ether townships. that the new
rates recently allowed by the commits
sion and which total s355 per mile for
each mile of four-inCh pipe carrying to
fire hNdrant and 81 additional for
each tirepiug. are more than eleven
| times the old rate. which was. fixed by a
contract still in existence.
Rates TO the consumer in the sections
represented were lowered by the COM
mission last summer. and the increase
on the fire protection system was grant
cd on the plea of the company that it
could not continue in business and make
certain extensions of it's pipe lines or
dered by the commission unless the boost
was allowed.
Lower Merton Township found itself
in peculiar position. Mr.. Williams ex-
pained to the commissioners. in that the
tax rate for the next fiscal year had
already been fixed and the anticipated
revenue would not suffice to pay the
new fire protection rates Also. he ad-
ded. he did not believe the old contract
with the company could be so easily
abrogated.
william |. Schaffcr. Of Chester. repre-
sentins the company, asserted that the
ruling Of the commission automa, cally
abrogated previous contracts and t:.ar
Lower Merion's old agreement with The
company was worth no more than - st
SCRAP of paper made famous by the
Kaiser"
Mr.. SChaffer added that everybody
knew Lower Merton was not a poor com
munity and that the tax rate there was
based on only about third of IT," ac-
tual valuation Of the land in the towa-
ship.
Mr.. Williams asked for permission
to have experts make study os Inc
books of the company to determine
whether the rate was fair or not
commissioner Ryan said the ratc on
fire protection had been based on q
plant value of S7.OO0,0OO and thai the
! company had bonds out tstandng total
/ ling $4,000, 900, so he felt the valuat ion
was certainly low enough to be fa,r 20
