ing to the approval by the commits
sion or such rates are necessary to
properly maintain the property, and
care for the interest, extra needed
improvements, and necessary obliga-
lions. The petitioners further re-
quest that the service be maintained

light and water plants are highly
essential to our comfort, health and
happiness"
1t is claimed that for the last Year
the company operated at a loss of

ues. 1t is contended that a contin-
uances of the present rates will sure
ly mean depleted plant facilities,
disgracefully poor service, handicap
ped industrial enterprises, dissatis-
tied patrons, and, in the end, an i'm
poverlshed exchequer and a bankrupt

The following rates are suggested
as equitable:
Light and power-17 cents for first

IL DIP for third X. W. and above;
$1.50 monthly minimum.
