Rate Case Hearing

The first step towards the re-hear-
| Ing of the Middlesex water rate case
before a master appointed by the
federal district court was taken on
Saturday when Aaron v. Dawes ac-
cepted the invitation of the presi-
dent Of the Middlesex Water Com
pany, Frank Bergen, to make a tour
of the properties of the company
nd the territory served. In addition
to Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Bergen and
Superintendent Mundy, representa-
ives of the inspection Office of the
Board of Pubic Utility Commission
rs and the municipalities took in the
rip. Those representing the munich
palities included Emil Stremlau,
k'rank Andres and H. V. o. Platt of
Carteret; j. II. Thayer Marion and
Albert Larson of Woodbridge.
The party was conducted by Mr..
Bergen and Mr.. Mundy and the mas
ter was taken not only to the Mid
dlesex pumping station at Railway,
Park avenue. Plainfield and at South
Plainfield. but also to the plants of
the Plainfield Union Companay
When one of the party demurred at
tacking the plant of the Plainfield
Union Company's splendid station,
the answer of the water company
was that the station was on the way
of the trip, even though 1t was not
part of the property in valuation.
The objection on the part of the
municipalities was that this seemed
critics in the mind of the master who
was unacquainted with the various
ompanies.

FL Centric Is Years Old Today Many Pioneers Here Yet
Utley Looms as
Candidate For
Congressman

1t was intimated from reliable
sources this morning that Ernest r..
Utley, district attorney for Imper-
ial County, would be q candidate
for congressman from this district
in opposition to Phil Swing. When
asked for statement regarding
the rumors, the district attorney
neither denied nor confirmed them.
r He did say, however, that promi-
nent leaders i'll the district, both
Republican and Democratic, had
urged him to become a candidate,
assuring him of their support.
Friends of Mr.. Utley stated to-
day that he would be a particularly
strong candidate in the race for
congress, and in view of the-recent
refusal of William Kettner of San
Diego, former congressman from
this district, to be a candidate, they
are confident that Mr.. Utley will
pull q strong vote.
The district attorney has had con-
siderable training in political fields
and has spent some time at the ma
tional capital whore he served as
secretary to Congressman Jim Me-
Clintic, of Oklahoma, ranking De-
mocratic member of the house COM
mittee on naval affairs.
