sWATER DECISION
MAY BE APPEALED
Suburbanites Contemplate
] Taking Springfield Co.
Case to Court
LOSE in COMMISSION
Public, Service Body Turns
Down Complaints of l8
n Communities

: The fight made by eighteen communi-
ties near Philadelphia against increas-
ted rates of the Springfield Consolidated
Water Company probably will be car
ried into the Superior Court following
the Public Service Commissions dis
missal of their complaints.
4 Attorneys for the protesting town
ships and boroughs today are waiting
for the text of the commissions order,
and then will confer preliminary to an
appeal.
The complaints dismissed were direct
ed principally against a charge of 1855
a mile annually for all mains connect
ing with fireplugs Counsel for the COM
plainants alleged the charge was 'un-
just and unreasonable"
Morton T. Paul, an attorney Of this
city. who represents Sharon Hill and
Collingdale, two of the protesting com
quantities, today said it was very likely
that an appeal would be taken.
Object to Charge for Mains
Springfield township, Mr.. Paul point
ed out, is charged about $4,000 annually
for water mains. although there is no
sfreplug there and although it has a
Reservoir with pipe lines radiating into
Aall parts of the community.
The controversy over the rates and
service of the company began when c"n-
sumers invoked the aid of the courts in
sobtaining relief from existing domestic
service rates Later this complaint was
carried to the Public Service Commits
sion. A valuation of the property was
asked for and the most complete sur
3cey of a water company known in the
country followed
The result was a decision by the
commission some months ago by
which the company was allowed
per cent profit on it's investment. This
meant a reduction of S3 1-3 per cent ir
domestic rates.
The commission, however, allotted a
specified sum as an equitable return to
the company for fire protection and
fixed the water rates for all munici.
paiites at 81 for each fire-hydrant and
1855 a mile for all mains connecting
these plugs.
saFN' Big Increase in Bills
I. The fire-hydrant rate was about what
the municipalities had been paying, bu
the pipe mileage rate ran the annua
bills of the municipalities up to 500 ant
fas high as 1900 per cent above former
bills.
