COMMISSION TO
ESTABLISH RATES
Firm Stand Taken in Refus-
ing to Grant Approval to
Northwestern Contracts

The Public Service Commission
has declined to grant approval to
franchise agreements between the
Northwestern Electric Service Com
pany, operating in Erie and Craw-
ford counties, and a number of
townships in those districts for the
reason that the contracts contain q
provision that the company agrees
not to charge above a certain figure
for house or street lighting.
The opinion handed down says
in part. THE Legislature has estab-
lished this Commission for the pur-
pose of regulating the rates to be
charged by public service companies
and has delegated to the Commits
sion the exclusive power to deter
mine what are the just and reason
able rates for service rendered by
such companies at particular time
+. therefore action by local
authorities which attempts to estab-
lish rates to be charged by public
service companies is contrary to the
public policy of the Commonwealth
The difficulty incident to the estab-
lishment of rates in municipal or
dinance has been brought forcibly to
the attention of the Commission in
numerous cases recently"
In dismissing complaint of the
Lehigh Traction Company, against
a jitney operator in the Hazleton dis
trict, Chairman Ainey says that al
though complaint was made of fall
ure to give service, post rates, pre-
vent over-crowding and other things
the Commission is not convinced
that the violations were due to de-
termination to disregard rules of
the Commission. Warning is given
that a repetition of violations will be
followed by revocation of the GER
tificate.

SPANGLER TO BE

Representative Robert s. Spang-
Ter, of York. one of the ablest of the
younger men in the last House of
Representatives. has announced his
candidacy for fourth term as mem
ber from the York city district on
a dry" platform. The York Dis

Spangler, Republican candidate for

which he sets forth a platform fa-
voring the prohibition amendment

features of Assemblyman Spang-
ler's statement are declarations in
favor of woman suffrage and of re-
form in the method of administra-
ton of the county Jail to be accom-
plished by putting the office of
sheriff on a salary basis. Assembly
man Spangler's action is regarded as
his recognition of the prohibition
question as a moral rather than a
political issue. 1t logically follows

when they returned to the Mayors
office late in the afternoon, they were
unanimous in declaring that a gem
eral cleanup must be made soon.
Caught in the Act
Two ash collectors who were un-
loading small wagons filled with
refuse were ordered to report at the
Mayors office this afternoon. The
men were found dumping in North
Third street, above Seneca. Mayor
Keister declared private collectors
must observe city ordinances and
use public dumps.
The trip yesterday was started at
the Mayors office. Going south in
Front street to Iron alley, the off,
cials were shown conditions in River
Front Park there. Piles of ashes
have been dumped all over the lawn,
under trees and even at the top of
the wooden steps leading down to
the concrete walk. At these steps
the path is impossible.
Turning east in Hanna street the
party went over the Dock street
bride, following the street car line
to Cameron street. From Hemlock
to Paxton street, along Cameron
street, on all the vacant lots refuse
is scattered everywhere. In many
of the places some of the ashes have
been dumped on the paved street
beside the curb.
Dumped in Roadway
At Thirteenth and Paxton streets,
just south of the bridge over the rail-
road tracks there, another small
dump has been started Ashes, tin
cans, paper and other refuse is
dumped all along the roadway, and
north of the bridge there are a few
ash heaps in the middle of the
street.
The next stop was at the Shim-
nell school building. Here one of
the most disgraceful sights exist.

The industries using sugar have been re-
duced in their consumption of sugar, most OF
them having their supplies cut in half, and some
receiving none at ALL The situation is so serious
that every possible means of conservation should
be observed. Household canning without sugar
should be done wherever possible; and where
sugar is used it should be only to the extent nee
essary to secure the maximum of preserving with
the minimum use of sugar at this time. With
prospects of increased supplies after November
L. and still more after January l, sugar may then
be added with more freedom.
In order to make sure that the distribution
of sugar in the United States shall be equitable,
the Food Administration has worked out a
scheme of ALLEGATION to the states, based on popu-
lation and taking into account the needs of sugar
using industries in the states. Within each state
the details of distribution left to the Federal
Food Administrator.
Gas the Cuban crop becomes exhausted, more
and more vessels will be leaving Cuba without

for the transportation of every pound of sugar

question of transportation, but of total available
