 '"The petitioner did not contend that the company was not entitled to an increased rate and to increased revenues, or to an increased revenue equivalent to what the 50 cents per month customer charge would pro- duce, and no evidence was submitted bearing upon the necessity for in creased reventIes, or the reasonable ness of the particular amount of GUS toner charge made.
 ''The sole question presented at the hearing for the consideration of the commission at this time was as to whether a service charge or 'readi- ness to serve charge in this case designated as a customer charge was legal and equitable charge to make in connection with the company's rate structure.
 '"The petitioners objection was based entirely upon the manner adopted by the company of obtaining increased revenues by the installation of a customer charge, claiming:
 ''The citizens in general can be mada to understand why an increase in the rate of gas consumed may be necessary owing to increase in cost of material and labor but a fixed, and
  of 50 cents per month in addition to the amount of gas consumed, is an unreasonable and improper method of raising the revenue A public service corporation of this character depends largely on the good will of the public for it's patronage, and this method of increasing the revenue is contrary to the public sense of fairness, and should, therefore, be avoided
 Ut was also claimed by the peti- tioner that the customer charge ere ated an unfair burden on the small consumer.
 "The company claimed that 'an in- crease of 20 cents per 1000 cubic feet and a 50-cent customer charge per meter per month will produce in- creased revenue almost equal We however, chose the customer rate fol only one reason, on account of its greater equity for all our customers
 The company submitted tabula tion of certain items, properly in- ,cluded in service charges, showing the service cost per meter to be at leas

UTILITIES BOARD DENIES PROTEST
 ONCASINCREASE

Hartford July 28-Denial of the petition of the city of Hartford that the Hartford City Gas Light Company be ordered to cancel the increase in it's rates to its customers within the city of Hartford by the addition July 1 5 of a so-called "customer charge" of 50 cents month was announced yesterday by the public utilities com- mission. The petition further asked the commission to order the refund of any moneys collected by the Hartford City Gas Light Company from the customer cnarge.' It was claimed by Corporation Counsel Walter S. Schultz in thep etition that the "cus- toner charge was unreasonable, improper and a hardship, particularly upon the small consumers of gas.
 The public utilities commission found that the installation of a readi- ness-to serve charge or customer
 charge by the respondent, as means of increasing it's necessary revenue, and as an element in it's rate struct- ure, is not improper or inequitable The commission, however, did not pass upon the reasonableness of the particular amount of the custom CT charges installed, as there was no evil dence presented at the hearing July 23 on this point. Or on the question incidentally touched upon as to whether such a charge should be graded. The finding, in part, follows:
 For the purpose of increasing it's revenues the Hartford City Gas Light Company, July IS. 1920, put into eff feet customer charge of 50 cents per month for each meter, as set forth in said petition, and abolished the previously maintained minim I'm charge of 50 cents per month Or S6
