PUBLIC UIlLnIES COMMISSION
F. c. No. 26S

To the Hon Public Utilities Commission,
Augusta Maine
The Stockton Springs Water Company com
plains to your Honorable Board and says:
First: 1t i a Iuphc Service Corporation
created and existing under 1he laws of the
State of Maine for the purpose of supplying
the inhabitants of the town of Stockton Springs
with pure water for domestic, sanitary and
municipal purposes
Second: Said cor porati0n in accordance with
the orders of the Public Utilities Commission
filed schedules of its rates and copies OF its
contract in the Office of the Public Utilities
Commission which said rates have become
effective and now in force.
Third That said rates for municipal and
fire service as well as rates for 9th r com
panies or corporations have been in force for
many years without material change or re.
vision.
Fourth: Your complainant alleges that said
rates discriminatory and unfair to the
municipalities, other companies or corpora
tions, and private takers; and to your compl lain
ant, in that owing to the high cost of opera.
ton. labor, supplies, and practically every
item entering into the building and cost of
operating a water system, the present income
derived from rates, both municipal and pri-
v4te, are wholly inade quate to provide for
the proper maintenance and operation of the
liant, depreciation, and fair return on just
valuation.
Fifth: Your complain ant therefore COM
plains and alleges that said rates are discrimi-
natory and unfair and do not produce a reas-
enable, just and adequate income.
Wherefore, The Stockton Springs Water
Company by Charles N. Taylor, its treasurer,
thereunto duly authorized by vote of the d.
rectors of said Water Company, respectfully
prays that your Honorable Board will give the
com mplainant a public hearing at which all
parties interested in said rates may be notified
to appear and be heard, and if upon such hear
ing. your Honorable Board shall determine
that said rates now established aforesaid
are unjust. unreasonable or discrImina ory. and
fail to produce reasonable, just and adequate
il come for the operation, upkeep and main
teDance of said Company to enable it to give
good and su ufficient service, and fair return
upon just valuation, that your Honorable
Board will fix and order substituted therefor
such rate or rates, tolls, charges schedules
as shall be just reasonable and adequate to
produce proper income.
Dated at Stockton Springs. Maine. this Sec
ond day of December, A. D. 1919.

THE LOUISE KILLED I
MILLION
Is Most Dreaded of All Insects in
, War Zone, Says Entomologist.

London, Jan. e.--Oi the insects re-
sDopsible for the death or disable
ment OF hundreds OF thousands IN
the war zone, the louise is declared
authoritatively to have ben one Of
the most deadly and to have account
ed Tor at least Il million persons.
That. however. is only a rough cs-
innate. and the probability is that the
toll was infinitely higher. for in Ser
bia alone typhus. a louse-borne dis
ease, infected nearly enc million per-
sons and killed five hundred day in
the little city Of .Iassy. while two
hundred OF the twelve hundred medi-
cal officers in the country died from
the disease. This disease spread
over Russia, Austria. Germany. and
the Balkans generally.
These figures are vouched Tor in a
prepared by Lieutenant,
Lloyd, who was chief entomologist
in Northern Rhodesia.

the expense of cartridge.
Things, | am sure, are going to be
all right in Turkey one of these days
The Armenians Will come into their
own and be given back what was
stolen from them. The Turks will
pay indemnities. Only. it will be nee
essary, first, to bring some sort OF
order out of the chaos that rules in
Turkey. There will have to be Tur-
key bolstered together to pay the in
IDENTITIES. That may take year or
ten years. When you have had no
food for week and cannot expect
any until is paid. and the indemnity
may not be paid for years. even a
stout hearted baby may be excused
for dying OF starvation.
In the plainest words let me say,
that unless America gives the hun
dreds of thousands OF Syrian and Ar
menian Christians cannot receive.
Unless America gives the Armen-
ians and Syrian Christians must die.
l could understand a Turkey that
condemned thousands to death by
starvation; cannot even imagine an
American condemning those thou
sands to that death. That, however,
is what America will do If she does
not hold out the open, giving hand to
the Armenians and Syrians now.

Flowers Do. No Good After You Arc
The further truth is that the world
are still portions of it that reek with
the filth of ancient days. There are
still lands that are ruled as Egypt
was ruled when Pharaoh was kind
The black stain of autocracy has been
wiped off the European shield; the
black stain of cruelty still mars the
shield of Asia. There is still work
for civilization to do.
Our first task is to see that death
does not wipe out those who will
lend US a hand in cleaning the foul
ness that remains. There was a work
that America alone could do in Bel
GUM, and there is work that Amer,
lea alone can do in Turkey. There is
no other land on the face of the globe
today that can do this work. There
is no time when a child is dying of
hunger, to wait for indemnities and
reparation. 1t is to be hoped that in
the general righting of wrongs that
is to come the Syrian Christian and
the Armenian Christian will be re-
turned to his home and repaid in part
for the injuries he has suffered, but
when he is naked and without food
he cannot wait for indemnity-he
must have garments and victuals or
he dies.

Fire Insurance Rate Increase
Recommended.

Jefferson City. Mo-, Jan. o.--con-
missioner Roy Williams ri Room
vile today filed report in the Col-
County Court recommending that
the fire insurance companies OF the
State be allowed flat increase of 10
per cent in rates. Commissioner
Williams found that the increased
cost of materials during the war had
cut down the net profits of the in
surancc companies. 1t is estimated
the increase will yield an additional
100000 per year in revenue to the
companies.
