ing Gas at Loss.

Des Moines, May 21-Dcclaring that
the case OF tho oskaloosa gas and cleo
tric companies now in course Of hear
ing in the federal court will mean a
financial burden on the municipality
AMI the company as we'll if continued
an at present, Judge Martin j. Wade
yesterday asserted his bC.ief in the
necessity of a utilities commission in
the state of Iowa for the handling of
such cases.
This observation was made by the
court during hearing of supple
mental bill filed by the Oskaloosa
Light 4 Fuel Company and the oska-
.loosa & Buxton Electric Railway Com
pany asking modification of the courts
original order issued last September
This order permitted the companies
TO continue charging the rates effect
i've prior 10 the passage of an ordin-
ance by the city council last June,
pending hearing of the merits of the
case. The supplemental bill filed by
the company yesterday cited the fact
that owing to the increased cost Of
operation the company was no longer
able TO operate profitably on the orr
ginal rates and prayed for emergency
relief pending final disposition of the
case. The company agreed to file suf-
ficient bond to protect its customers
should the court, after hearing the
merits Of the case, find that the in
creased rates asked for are not war
ranted.

City Makes Objections.

Appearing for the city, Attorney T..
j. Bray objected to the petition. He
was instructed to prepare aftidavits
sustaining his contention and further
hearing ordered for Monday, May q.
I'VE all realize that we are going
through a period of changes and try
ing times brought about by war condi-
tions," said the court in commenting
on the case.
Il have. been thinking that 1t might
who have similar cases in this court
to arrange for some kind of board
of arbitration to assume the duty OF
going into the details of these cases.
Such board would save these munic.
qualities thousands Of dollars. AS it
stands, it is financial burden on the
people and the companies as well. 1t
is unfortunate that the state has no
utility board to handle such cases"
Satisfied With Arbitration.
Attorney J. A. Dewitt, counsel for
the petitioning company, assured the
court that his clients would be entirely
satisfied with such an arrangement.
He stated that if the court would
name an arbitration board of three the
company would be willing to submit
its problems to such board and de-
pend upon it's ability to name rates
that would be fair to the company
and the consumer. He further eX-
pressed the opinion that such board
appointed by the court would have the
confidence of the people and the con-
sumers.
In the supplemental bill the COM
pany declares that since the court
order in September 1917 the rising
costs of manufacture of both gas and
electricity have been most severe. II
refers to the fixing Of coal and coke
costs by the government and the in
crease Of oil and all other materials
entering into the manufacture of
utility service and declares that the
emergency for relief is most serious.
Referring to the gas department spe-
officially the company stated thot In
January last its receipts were Sl29.S4
less than actual cost of production
and that this deficit had grown to
$453 90 in the month of March. These
conditions, the bill cites, are growing
worse
