that promises victory because pres

owners now offer from $18 to $50.
Broken promises by the management
are a contributing factor to the strike.

Plea for Extension
OF Water Company
Service in Camden

The petition Of Walter p. Leonard
and more than nine others, residents
OF Oak street and vicinity In the
town OF Camden. against the Cam
den e. Rockland Water Company. al
leging inadequate service. has been
ordered dismissed by IL decree of the
public utilities commission issued
Saturday.
The petitioners alleged that: "The
residential portions of Oak street
and Mechanic street In said Camden,
are insufficiently supplied with pure
water by said corporation for do
nestle and municipal purposes, and
the extinguishment Of fires. as by the
charter Of said corporation it ls
bound to do; and said corporation
neglects and refused to convey and
supply the inhabitants along said
streets with sufficient water for said
purposes by any suitable and ade.
quate pipe lines along and by said
streets"
On this petition. after preliminary
notice and investigation. a public
hearing was held at the Rockiand
municipal courtroom On June III,
1924, at which ]. II. Montgomery ap-
peared for the complainants, ana
Alan l., Bird for the Camden Il
Rockland Water Company.
The decree Of the cOmmissio points
out that so far as appears there are
only four prospective customers Tor

constructed along Oak street as re-
uuested, although 1t is claimed on
the part of the petitioners that a
further demand for service would
probably be created If the service

"The cost of this extension is est
mated by our engineer at s2473.20.
and the annual costs. including six
per cent as before, are estimated at
$17374," says the commission.
"The proposed revenue to be op-
tanned from these four customers is
estimated at SIS each per year, or u
total revenue for the extension OF $50
rer year. To this would be added an
additional yearly revenue OF $35 II
hydrant were installed.
ut Is evident from the foregoing
that the desired extension cannot be
made and the requested service rem
dered by the water company without
imposing an undue burden which
must be borne either by the company
or by it's other customers unless In
deed this additional cot be borne by
the company by the petitioners
themselves, either in the form of
higher rates for service or in sub
staY,tial contributions to the initial
cost OF installation.
1--WE believe that in this case this
cost Is so great as to be prohibitive.'
