pie had not given notice Of the speci-
fic rates of increase in the towns con-

The commission ordered that the
Cumberland people submit their scale

all interested parties before the case
came up again. This was done and
the commission had the scale of in

present in force. The company was
represented by ]. c. Henriques and
