abled to estimate from data on file
in our office, these two items alone
will produce a revenue of $6468,
which is only s132696 smaller than
the requirement which appears to be
necessary from the figures we have
been tentatively using in our study
Of the case, and this latter sum may
easily be earned by the proposed me
tering Of the various services.
During the hearing charges were
made concerning matters which are
involved in actions pending before
courts of competent jurisdiction, and
it is unnecessary, even if it were
proper, for US to speak of them in
this case. Assuming. for the pur-
pose of argument, that the amounts
involved shall be repaid to the dis
trict, it would not affect the conClu-
sion We have reached because we are
predicating our figures upon the ex-
penses and revenues of what we
have called the normal year, which
in this case is the year when the eX-
penses and revenues will be those or
dinarily obtaining. excluding I'M

A decision was rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission Satur-
day in the matter of the proposed in
crease of rates of the kennebec
Water District decreasing that the
first faucet rate Of 81 as proposed
by the Kennebec Water District for
dwelling house use is excessive and
unrea sonable and the district is re-
quired to establish in lieu thereof a
yearly charge of SC.
The first bath tub yearly rental of
81 is approved.
The provisions whereby it is pro-
posed by reason Of inadequacy of
service to grant a discount of 70 per
cent in rates for water sold in North
Nassalboro is disalloWed, and the
district is required to apply to serv-
Ices rendered in North Vassalboro
the same rates as are applicable in
other sections in which it operates.
The application of the district for
q reduction in the yearly sprinkler
head rate from eight to five cents
Is granted.
The provision proposing a yearly
charge of SO for q washing machine,
If used alone" is eliminated.
The new schedule shall be operat-
i've July first.
During the course of our study of
the districts affairs. we have found
many conditions that should be cor
rected and practices that have been
unlaWfully dlscrimina tory" says the
decision of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
For instance, troughs have been
charged for in Watelville, but no
charge has been made in the other
divisions of the district" continues
the decision. "Standpipes, likewise,
have been paid for by the Water
vile division OF the district, but no
charge has been made for them in
Fairfield.
These practices arc not in accord
With the law and must be discontin-
ued. The proposed schedule, in any
event, is experimental. We are not
able to determine exactly what rev.
Cnuc will he produced by the sched-
ule which it is proposed to put into
effect. For that reason we shall re-
quire that returns shall be made to
us at the end of each three months
Tor the present, showing the result Of
the application of a new schedule to
the conditions of the district.
AT the end of reasonable period
We shall upon petition or upon our
own motion gladly give our Intention
10 the matter again TO the end of adj
justinS the affairs of the district as
subsequent events may show to be
proper. Prior to 1912 the charge for
each faucet was 81 within the limits
of the district. 1t was then de-
creased to the amount of So This
rate is lower than any obtaining
generally throughout the State with
the exception of one or two places.
A comparison with the rates charged
in other municipalities make evident
that the rate proposed by the trus-
tees would be justified by the exper-
'ence of similar water districts and
water companies in other sections of
the State. We do not believe, how
ever, that it will be necessary at
this time, in view Of the uncertainty
Of the revenue producing qualities of
dhe proposed schedule to increase the
rate on first faucets from IS to 81,
We shall, accordingly, order that a
schedule be filed making the in
crease only from SIS to SIS for the
FIRST faucet and from 50 to 81 on
bath tubs. AS nearly as we are en-

CHOCTAW TALK FOILED
GERMAN WIRE-TAPPERS

Grounded circuits, cut-ins on
wires, and plates buried close to the
Allied trenches enabled the Boche
TO do a great deal of harmful listen
ing-in on the French, British and
American telephone communications
The Allied commands were aware
of this serious situation, and every
imaginable precau,ion was taken to
stop this dangerous leakage. Ger
man expedients had been SO success
full, however, that the Boche became
oVer-confident. Once, when an army
telephone operator in his dug-Out
exchange was trying to get the COM
mander of the 1st Division for Cen
eral Thaub, he called over the wire
in the usual code that Petite Dink
wanted to talk with Grizzly Bear.
This was too much for the patience
OF the Boche who was listening in.
He butted in without any pretence
whatsoever.
why don't you say General Traut
wants to talk to General Billiard
Anyway, Billiard has gone down the
line 10 conference"
This little taunt certainly made
! Fritzie feel better. but it led to hi
J downfall. There were $50 American

Committee Agrees

Washington, March 2.-Unani-

cash feature OF the soldiers bonus,
except in the case of men whose adj
justed service pay would not exceed
$50, was reached today by the spe-
cal subcommittee of Republican
members Of the House Ways and
Means Committee to which the
whole bonus question was referred
yesterday,
, IN lieu of cash for the other SER
vice men, 1t was agreed to add a
new provision to the bonus bill, un-
der which the men accepting adjust
ed gerYice certificates. could borrow
Immediately on those certificates
from banks sum equal to so per
cent Of the total adjusted service
pay computed at the rate of 81 a

who remember that those express
sions did vast deal in the work OF

Millions still believe that our gov
eminent derives its just powers from
the consent of the governed, ana
they don't propose to permanently
delegate those powers to few
bosses in a hotel room some blocks

The Presidents remarks are part
and parcel of the plan of the Repub-
lican bosses to destroy the primary
system, but the people are against
them-and Harding's speech is a
monkey wrench in the machinery,
tossed there in moment of exuber-

LEADERS AGREE ON ELIMI.
NATION OF CASH BONUS
Only Exception Made In Cases
Where Adjusted Pay Would
Not Exceed $50.

washington, March IA special
subcommittee to work out soldiers
bonus plan which would not entail
any heavy draft on the Federal treas
ury within the next two years was
appointed today by majority mem
bers of the House Ways and Means
Committee. The subcommittee will
meet later in the day and Chairman
Fordney said the bill probably would
be completed within two or three
days and Immediately reported out
The majority members came TO no
decision as to details, but it was the
general understanding that in the
measure to be drafted the cash fea-
ture. if retained would be made so
much less attractive than the other
features that there would be small
demand for il.
Plan Attractive Insurance Option
Some members of the committee
said complete elimination of the
cash bonus was in mind, and that 1t
was the plan to make the insurance
feature more attractive. They ex-
planned that while the service men
accepting this option could not bor-
row from the Government on their
insurance within three years, they
prbably could obtain the money from
other sources before the expiration
Of that period.
Representative Longworth said
the idea was to relieve the Treasury
of any heavy drafts on account of the
bonus during the period of the re-
funding of the $500, 100000 of Vic
tory notes and the short dated certi-
ficates.
Suggested BY EX-service Men
Some such plan as that on which
the committee is now working has
been suggested by a number of form
er service men and by members of
the House, and has been looked up
on with favor by some leaders of the
agricultural bloc, who have held out
against President Harding's sugges-
ton of financing the cash bonus by
means of a sales tax.
Committee members said it was
the expectation that vocational train
ing and home land settlement OPP
lions would be retained, explaining
that this would not cause any heavy
drain on the Treasury within the
next few years.
With the cash feature eliminated,
il was said the ultimate cost of the
bonus would be greater than esti-
mated under the present five way
plan" even with Federal aid under
these options held to the present
proportion.
