fully discriminatory and are not per-
mitted TO go into effect on Feb. /.

April /, 1918. together with an
application 10 this commission to
have such new schedule take
effect April upon less than
statutory notice, which new schedule
shall be the same in all respects as its
present schedule except in the follow
ing respects, viz: If prior to the fill
ing of said schedule the town of Gull
ford shall have so modified it's exist
ing contract with the Guilford Water
Co. as to provide for an additional
payment to said company of $500, then
the rate to be charged to first faucet
customers for service, the minimum
rate to be charged for any single
service and the rate to be charged to
stores and business places not re
quiring more than ordinary supply of
water, shall be s.. If. however, prior
to the time indicated for the filing of
the new schedule the town of Guilford
shall not have so modified its said CON
tract. then the rate to be charged to
the above named takers and shown in
said schedule shall be $3.50.
Under date Of Aug. .29, 1917. the
the Public Utilities Commission, to
become effective on and after Oct. J.,
1917. a change in its existing rates for
service. The rate for the first faucet,
which had been &c. was to be increased
to So per year; the rate to stores and
business places was to be increased
from So 20 SIS and the rate Of $500
charged to the Bangor 4 Aroostook
Railroad was to be increased to. $3.50.
This latter increase is understood to
have been brought about by an agree
ment between the two companies.
While the amendment to the sched-
ule which would bring about these in
creases WAS properly filed with the
commission on Aug. % and while such
filing constituted all the notice of the
change which the company was by law
obliged to give, nevertheless the in
habitants Of Guilford did not receive
any actual notice of the proposed
change until the very last part of
September. tpon obtaining the infor-
nation that an amended schedule in
creasing the rates had been filed the
board Of selectmen requested the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to suspend
the tariff pending an investigation.
"A preliminary hearing was had
and an original suspension to Nov 1.
1917 ordered. In connection with such
suspension notice was given that a
public hearing upon the propriety of
such proposed changes in the schedule
would be held at Guilford on Oct 26
1917, and such hearing was held. both
the company and the town Of Guilford
being represented. The evidence pre-
sented at the hearing was of such a
character as to indicate that as full a
valuation of the property of the re-
spondent company as was possible to
make under the circumstances was
necessary. and it also appeared that a
careful study of the whole situation
was imperative if the commission was
to do substantial justice to either the
company or it's customers in GuilfOrd.
Such valuation and such study could
not be made between the time Of the
hearing and November LIST, hence a
further suspension Of schedules to
Feb. !, 1918, was ordered.

Conference on Increased
Production of Sea Foods

Governor Carl F. Milliken left Au-
gusta for Boston Wednesday night to
attend a conference with the federa,
official regarding the increased pro-
duction Of sea food. in response to n
summons from Hon. William c. Red :
field of New York, secretary OF the
United States Department Of Com
merce.
The conference. which will be held
with other prominent officials Of New
England. is the outcome of an extend
cd correspondence between Governor
Milliken and Secretary Redfield. Gov
ernor Milliken, feeling that it was to
the sea that relief from the threatened
food shortage might be received, has
suggested that federal aid in the de-
velopment of the already extensive
fisheries Of Maine would result in a
greatly increased production Of sea
food.
Particularly has Governor Milliken
urged the necessity of protecting and
propagating shellfish. 1t has been
pointed out that these are highly nu-
tritious and that they wou:d prove a
most valuable food asset at this time.
Secretary Redfield is to be in Pos
ton on other business the last of this
week and it felt that the opportunity
was particularly opportune for con-
ference with Governor Milliken. In
addition to the Chief Executive of
Maine, Horatio D. erie of Castine, DR..
r. w. Gould Of Rockland and Harry
c. Wilbur of Portland. the members
of the new Sea and Shore Fisheries
Commission, will be present at the con-
ference as we'll as some member OF the
Executive Council.
