Must Withheld Statement.
Mr.. Packard requested that any in
formation from the statement which
might reach the commission be
withheld from the public and the
newspapers.
I'VE do not want to hold the hear
ing through the newspapers" he said.

RIakemors Has Copy.
Robert b. Blakemore, commission
er Of waterworks, and unsuccessful
candidate for the state legislature on
the independent ticket favoring pub
lie ownership of public utilities in the
general election, hasa copy OF the
audit and analysis, given him by Mr..
Packard late last week.
The copy. Mr.. Blakemore told the
commission, was in the safe in his
office, and was given to him for his
own information.
Il am not going to make any part
of the statement public" he said

imposed upon this commission when
it asserted that it made no charge
for energy furnished the street rail-
way company The figures show that
such a charge was made until the
city attempted TO collect the two per
cent tax allowed 1t by the contract
with the company"
1t was Mr.. Blakemore who last year
led the fight in the commission to
force the company to pay the tax
on energy furnished the street rail-
way company. The issue was set
tied when the company apparently
established that the two utilities
were only departments of the same
concern, and that no charge was
made for such energy. Mr.. Blakemore
did not indicate whether or not he
intended to reopen the issue.
Wants To See Copy.
Alex Stern, president OF the COM
mission, reiterated his statement OF
last week that he would not sign a
warrant in payment for the audit un-
til he had seen the figures, and the
bill for 1926 was laid over without
| action.
Il think the commission ought to
have a copy of this audit" Presi-
dent Stern said.
w. H. Shure, city attorney, advised
that the. audit was essentially the
property OF the state, and that, in his
| opinion. the commission could not
| demand a copy. ]. J. Jordan, COM
missioner of finance, said he did MOI
believe the records showed that the
city was to receive a copy OF the
audit.
