We believe we have been liberal
in the matter of value, also the ex-
penses.
The total receipts for the year
1928 were $25,O65.OO, SO in the
absence of any testimony that would
show the receipts of the merchan-
disc business, we will use the
amount S4,065.O0, leaving S21,OOO.-
90 for the receipts of the utility.
The merchandising business, while
perfectly proper, nus be kept sep
arate from the utility business.
1t appears from the evidence that
the company has been furnishing
free electricity to the employees.
All free. service must be discontin-
ued.
A public utility should furnish
all necessary metering equipment

where the ownership of meters lies
with some of the consumers, the
utility should take the necessary
steps to acquire them, reimbursing

Report of the Commission
BY the Commission:
IN the 9Th day of July, A. d.
1924, the Town of Cody, Wyoming,
through it's Mayor and members of
the City Council, filed application
for a hearing On the complaint that
the present rates and service regu-
lations of the Shoshone Electric
Light & Power company are excess
sive and unreasonable in some re-
spects and are, therefore, in need
of revision.
The above entitled matter came
on regularly for public hearing, pur-
suant to a notice of the time and
place before the Public Service
Commission of Wyoming, on the
9Th day of August, A. D. 1924, at
1000 o'clock A. NJ. in the Town
eff Cody. Wyoming.
The Shoshone Electric Light &
Power company is a corporation
duly organized and existing under
and by virtue of the laws of the
state of Wyoming for the purpose
of supplying electric energy for
light. heat and power purposes for
the town of Cody. Wyoming.
This commission has no funds
for an inventory and appraisal and
as the appraisals made by the COM
plainant and defendant were incom-
plete. and we might add hat the
company's records furnished gave
us very little information, the rec
ords such as they are have been
rather unsystematically kept and
are very fragmentary. AS a con
sequence. the Commission has not
been able to make even a fairly
accurate check of the operating con.
ditions. The nearest we have ir

to operating conditions is for the

FEDERATED CLUB OF BASIN
) ANNUAL CONVENTION GREYBULL
Plan an Active Years Work in the Development
of the Big Horn Basin Next Annual
Meeting to be Held at Lowell

Inc nrSt annual meeting OF the
Federated Club of the Big Horn
Basin was held in Greybull last
week. and a good sized delegation
from Cody and other towns in the
Basin were present. The meeting
was held in the Masonic hall, with
a turkey banquet served by the
ladies of the Greybull Altar society.
Covers were laid for about 14O.
The meeting was called to order
by Thos. c. Marshall and Elizabeth
Wiley, Greybull's mayor, welcomed
the visitors to the oil town. Harry
l.. Wise. president of the Federated
club. ave an outline of the clubs
accomplishments for the past year.
and thanked the clubs of the towns
of the Basin for their hearty sup
port.
Talks we're made by j. b. Lam
son of Chicago, agricultural agent
of the Burlington, C. F. Robertson
of Worland told what was being
done in the Basin in regards to the
growing of corn, and issued a cor
dial invitation to attend the corn
show to be held in his town Decem-
Der Is to 20. Jack Leary, division
freight and passenger agent of the
Burlington, made a few remarks,
as did c. F.. Johnson, nag of
the Great Western sugar factory at
Lowell. Reyn Leedom again out
lined his publicity plan to those
present and urged the cooperation
of everyone to the end that 1t would
be the success that it should be.
h speaking was closed by a very
able talk by Rev. G.. s.. Upton,
pastor of the Methodist church at
Cody.
Following the banquet the cleo
ton of officers was held, and the
present officers were chosen to
serve another year, as follows:
President. Harry L. Wise; vice
president, E. Y. Booker; treasurer,
DR.. T. ]. Ice; secretary, J.. R. Bon
well.
BY a unanimous vote the constitu-
ton was amended with reference to
the participation of member clubs
as follows: Membership: Each
member club shall elect at once.
and certify to the secretary of the
Federated club. two members as
directors of the Federated Club.
one for a term of one year, and
one for a two-year term, and tina
thereafter, annually, each member
club shall elect and certify to the
secretary one director before the
annual meeting In November" This
plan is thought advisable, as each
club will have two members on the
directorate of the Federated club,
and these officers will not be eff
fected by changes in the local clubs
of the Basin.
The next meeting of the club
will be held at Worland, December
18th, to be held there during the
corn show. The next annual meet
ing will be held at Lowell in No
vember, 1925.
In conclusion the club rendered
a vote of thanks to the people of
sGreybull for the fine manner in
which they were entertained at the
annual meeting.

year 1923, SO we will use the state
ment of 1923 for the receipts and
expenditures Defendants exhibit
I'D, feeling that this more nearly
represents the true conditions thar
anything else produced at the hear
ing. Even with the heavy overhead
expenses of the company. it is quite
apparent that 1t is making a return
upon the investment. Exhibit A of
the defendant gives the cost of pro-
ducing electric energy at an aver
age of .0269 plus per X. w. hour.
This same exhibit gives current
consumption from June 1, 1923, to
June 1, 1924, $4,000 X. w. hour.
Even with a large free use of cleo
trfcity there must be a very heavy
line loss as well, and we believe we
are safe in saying that there is
over GO per cent unaccounted for.
The testimony introduced in refer
ence to the Powell system cannot be
considered in this case. The Powell
system is municipality owned and it
is not the history of systems of this
nature to attempt to make a profit.
In reading over the testimony of
the different witnesses in this case,
we are of the opinion thai there
has been lack of management in
conducting the affairs of the COM
pany.
There was no complaint brought
out at the hearing as to service and
the only rates attacked were the
general lighting rates. There was
apparently no separate account kept
of the merchandising part of the
business of the company, as will
be seen on defendants Exhibit No.
1, as the receipts for the a
1913, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922 and
1928 T the total receipts and no
segregation is made for the sale of
merchandise.
In the absence of a reliable in
ventory and appraisal, we believe
from the testimony that we are JUS
titled in fixing the present day
value of this plant, for rate making
purposes, at the sum of s45, 900.
and that the company is entitled to
earn 8 per cen on that amount
over and above their actual and
necessary expenses.
We will set up for valuation as
of November 1. 1924, $45,OOO.OO
