EAST CHICAGO WATER
RATE SITUATION EXPLAINED

In order that the people of East Chi
cago may learn the latest angles in the
water rate situation the followins
statement is made:
The Public Service Commission Is
sued its order Saturday for new trial
water rate to become effective Sept
erber 1st, 1921. The ordeE together
with the recommendations and rules
consume eigKtyfive pages which makes
il too volunlinous for most persons to
study carefully and the purpose of this
summary IS to give a brief digest Of
the meat of the order so that it may
be more readily understood.
The Commission places q value on
the company's property for rate maxi
ing purposes of Sl,529. 900 + The COM
pany asked for a valuation of Si.6S1.-

estimate based upon original in
vestment of the company of $1,000, 600,
The estimate made by the Engineering
Department of the Public Service Conn
mission and of the company itself, ha-
sed on original investment. were not
materially different from that of the
City Engineers. but the law requires
that the Commission place q value on
the basis of the level of price that
VIII probably prevail in the near fu-
ture, rather than what was actually
put into the property In dollars and
cents during the years gone by. II is
because of this law that the value is
fixed at $l.52e 600 instead of approx
imately sI,200,000
In fixing the rate the commission
made schedule which III its opinion
would yield seven per cent profit to the
company Up until very recently the
rate OF return allowed has been ap-
proximately eight per cent but indi-
cations now are that money is a little
cheaper. and in this case the Commits
sion has cut the rate of profit to seven

Melvin A. Traylor, president OF the

money rates will not decrease in 1921.
"There will De no cheap money in
1921" he said yesterday. The rate
of interest will not go below S per
cent. and it is possible it may reach
an average of per ceat.
"This is a favorable condition. for
the financial world.
Too sudden decline in the rate OF
interest would mean a panic. But i
do not look for this decline, and, what
is more, / look to see the commodity
of money become the great balancing
factor In the financial and business

1 believe there should be a further

however, in the prices of labor, food,

prices would be 50 per cent higher

them, and when women were tenta-

AS a result of the recommendation for
mercy, Mrs. Kaber was sentenced to life
