1T Is apparent" says the order
of the Commission, that the reve-
nues derived under the existing rates
are entirely inadequate for the law
full purposes of the company, and
this fact is not seriously disputed by
any of the remonstrants.
THE rates proposed by the petit
toner constitute approximately 100
per cent increase over thesv rates
, which have prevailed for many
years.
viewing the entire question from
the standpoint of previous opera
tions and what has taken place since
the petitioner acquired the various
plants. we are not of the opinion
that the entire rate increases pro-
posed by the petitioner are not
warranted at this time. We shall
prescribe rates which we feel after
careful study of the question, will
be reasonable and just to the COM
pany and its customers under ex-
listing conditions.

ing that the present rates, tolls,
charges, rules. regulations and prac-
tees of the Penobscot County Wa

sonable so far as inconsistent with
those set forth in the order. and
that the existing contracts of the
company with the city of Old Town
and the towns of Orono and Veazie
in so far as they relate to rates or
payments for services are unjust
and unreasonable. Those contracts
are abrogated by the Commissions
order to such an extent as they
may conflict with the rates and tolls
prescribed in the order.
