BOARD RESERVES DECISION
IN WATER RATE INCREASE

Decision was reserved by the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners upon
the application of the Atlantic County
Water Company for an increase OF
rates in the nature of an emergency,
hearing on which was held at Tren-
ton on Tuesday. The company serves
water to Pleasantville, Absecon, Egg
Harbor Township, Mortified, Linwood
and Somers Point.
The application was presented by
Frank S.. KatZenbach, of Trenton,
counsel for the company. He told the
commission that owing to the high
cost of labor and materials and other
necessities due to the war, the reve-
nue. of the company for the first six
months of this year had by far failed
to meet the expenditures, and that in
addition considerable sums had been
expended to improve the facilities of
the plant. Counsel stated that the
entire property of the concern is val
ued at $500, 900, and he said there is
a funded debt of $259,000 on the prop
erty which was purchased at a receiv-
er's sale about three years ago. In
corporation papers were filed on the
goth of October, it was recited.

"REMNANT," COMING
APOLLO ATTRACTION.

Remnant" the new comedy in
which Florence Nash will be seen at
Nixon's Apollo Theatre for three
nights and a matinee, beginning on
Monday next, comes with the prestige
of long runs in Paris, Milan and Lon
don. The author of the French and
Italian versions is Dario Niccodemi,
who is now a captain in the Italian
army, while the English adaptation
was made by Michael Morton. At the
Royalty Theatre in London Remnant"
was played for seven months with
Marie Lohr in the role which Miss
Nash will play in the American pro-
duction. The scenes of the play are
laid in Paris in 1910 and the action
will be heightened by the quaint cos
tunes made after the designs of Ga
varni, a famous caricaturist, during
the reign of Louis-Philippe. The spec
ial music required for the play has
been composed by no less an authority
than Reginald de Koven. Charles EN-
erson Cook, who is responsible for the
American production of Remnant,
has surrounded Miss Nash with a COM
pany of distinguished actors. Head
ing the cast will be Orrin Johnson,
who starred for several seasons, and
the other members will include George
Gaul, Corinne Barker, Etienne Girar-
dot, Dorothy Cheston, Ben R. Graham
and Edward Longma. Those who re-
member Miss Nash in within the
Law and Sinners" will have an op-
p%ortunity to see her in a new role in
which her wistful personality is admir-
ably exploited,
