The net earnings per annum for

are equivalent to a return Of per

present date about $4,100,000 to $4,-

purely local and is not susceptible of
development. Rates which would not
permit other railroad companies to-
earn its operating expenses and taxes.

company from September II, 1918, up

NJ The revenues of the road cannot be
sufficiently enhanced to make any ap-
preciable difference in the amount
which it has previously earned or
which could be applied on a fair re-
turn on the value of the property de-
voted to public use. Under existing
conditions the revenues cannot be in
creased to such an extent that fair
return can be secured on the property.

EQUITY HEARING IN CASE
Of ATTORNEY GENERAL VS..
RICHMOND WATER co.

An equity hearing took place on
Wednesday before Associate Justice
Albert NJ. Spear at his chambers at
the court house it being the case of
Attorney General Guy H. Sturgis
(succeeded by Attorney General
Ransford w. Shaw against the Rich
mond Water Co, to compel the COM
pany to comply with an order issued
by the Public Utilities Commission
to install and operate a water filter
at it's Richmond plant, the commits
sion having decided that the water
there was unfit for use for domestic
purposes. Deputy Attorney General
F.. F. Lawrence appeared for the
plaintiff and John A. Waterman of
Gorham for the defendant. Public
Utilities Commissioner H. NJ. Trafton,
Selectman r. A. Peabody of Rich
mond, Treasurer J. M. Randlette of
the company and George c. Weeks,
representing the Fairfield Trust and
Savings Bank, were also present.
The plaintiffs case consisted Of the
records of the Public Utilities Com
mission in the case. The defendant
company claimed that the finding of
the Public Utilities Commission re-
garding the condition of the water
and its being unsafe for use was not
in accordance with the facts and al
so that the installation of a filter
plant would entail more expense than
the company was able to stand.
Justice Spear decided that the
findings of the Public Utilities Com
mission were conclusive on both
these points and that he had no power
or authority to review the case and in
order to permit the company to make
arrangements for COM
plying with the commissions order
and avert a receivership, continued
the case for one month.

One of the most important an
nouncements Manager Appleby will

ing the entire season, is the fact that
it has been definitely arranged for the
Messrs Shubert to present at the
Augusta Opera House on May 26th
the big New York Winter Garden
spectacle, THE Passing Show" So
large is the company and production
that special train is necessary to
transport it. This colorfuI, magnifi-
cent mastodon of musical extrava-
ganza, biggest of all Winter Garden
shows, is in fifteen colossal scenes
with score Of lifting musical num-
bers, and there is a cast of old and
new favorites, each and every one of
them show in themselves. More
care has been taken by the Messrs.
Shubert in fitting this big production
for the road than has marked any of
its predecessors. All of the import
ant features of the attraction that
for a season delighted New York
have been retained. Principals and
ladies of the chorus have been sup
piled with a fine disregard for a null
tiplicity OF railway fares. Phrased in
a few words, 1t is 'the biggest and
most costly attraction ever sent on
