 Revenue vs. Expenses
 The railroad company produce figures to show that revenues in crcases 100 per cent in 1923 over the
 avenue in 1915 and that operating
 osts increases in the same period 14o
 CT cent. Wages paid increased SSs,-
 5000 in the same period.
 A chart was produced to show to- tal of 42 commutation trains going into Hartford. of which 16 were earn ing less than direct train expenses, T. were earning direct train expenses but less than the proporti-onate op- erating expenses and taxes and l- were earning more than their propor- ton of operating expenses and taxes
 The commission findings rcak, in part:
 While the determination of the
 ustncss and reGsonableness of a rate is primarily one of fact, an admfnis- trative tribunal must often be guided oy rules of law laid down by our state and federal courts relative to rate making in order to reach a deter ninatlun.
 There is another rule, as laid down hY our federal supreme court which Eust also be considered by the com mission, and that is the correlation of intrastate and interstate rates of a carrier engaged in both kinds of serv- ice so as not to constitute by the es- ia iAlis lr11pnf nf n r1 ct at h,,y den upon interstate traffic.
 There fs a further rule Of law in rate making laid down by the same court which must also be considered and that is that a carrier cannot be compelled to handle any class Of traf- lic al a loss. It is entitled to rates for each class of service tbat will pay the proper cost of transportation and sup ply in addition a reasonable return on the fair value of the property devoted 10 that service.
 Road Not Earning Fair Return
 xxx Ii would seem that a cur sory examination oi these facts would suffice to show that the New Haven road, as an operating railway is not and has not been for some years earning anything near a fair return tn the value of its property devoted to the public service and that this is so after the elimination of oil figures relating to outside investments.
 xxx It is therefore obvious that the fixation by this commission Of a rate for commutation service within Connecticut lower than the cost Of it would not only be con- lscatory and destructive Of the com pany's property but it would create ] an undue burden upon interstate commerce and violate one rule set forth above.
 In denying the petition. the com mission finds:
 CD That the communications rates under the present tariffs within the state Of Connecticut arc not more than just and reasonable and are on-discrimlnatory
 t2) That the ratio between way and commutation fares existing on July l. 1865, cannot be determined and that therefore Section 277S of the General Statutes cannot be applied.
