WATER COMPANY'S
EXPENSES VERY HIGH
Utility Board Criticises Operation OF
Delaware River Water Company.

In connection with the recent eff
fort of the Delaware River Water
Company to obtain perpetual fran
chise in the City of Beverly inter
esting facts have been obtained
from the report OF the State BOARD
of Public Utility Commissioners or
its findings in the application of the
same company for increased rates in
1923.
Five other companies, having ap.
proximately the same revenue pei
annum showed administrative &C.
counting and commercial expenses
of $3.50 per customer as compared
with the SAP estimated as neces-
sary by the Delaware River Com
pany. Legal expenses were esti-
mated at $3,024, whereas the Board
held that $500 should be sufficient.
Total operating expenses and taxes
were estimated by the Board at
$40, 800 as opposed to the $47,S3O
claimed by the applicant.
An increase in rates was allowed
the company in 1921, but i'm 1928
a request for further increase was
made, alleging that the company
had instituted all possible econo-
mics, but had been unable to earn a
fair return on its capital
The principal economies suggested
by the Board in 1921 were with
respect to the installation and OPP
GRAFTON of electric driven pumps, but
this had not been completed in
1928.
The company's president, William
Clayton Jones, insisted that he had
instituted all possible economies and
secured the utmost efficiency pos
sible. The board made a COMPARE
son, however, with the figures ap-
plying to the Riverton and Palmyra
Water Company. This company's
pumping expenses per unit were
1914. Mr.. Jones company esti-
mated its figures to be $7.49, but
the Boards Investigation showed
them to be $5.71.
The Riverton company in 1922
pumped 200,074,000 gallons, 25 per
cent. more than the 157,O00,0O0
gallons pumped by the Delaware
River Company. Yet the pumping
expenses of the former company
were only $500 as against SILL
1856 claimed in the applicants exhi-
bit and the $4,000 allowed by the
Board
In connection with the administra-
ton expenses, the Board noted that
President Jones had increased his
salary from $1,000 to $4,000 and en-
ployed his secretary for work done
in the Camden office of the company
at cost of 81, OO0.'
The Board refused to agree with
President Jones that the amount of
general expenses indicated in the es-
innate submitted by his company
was necessary for the proper con-
duct of the company's business UNI
der economical management.
In its conclusions the board found
the proposed schedule of rates UNI
just and unreasonable, but that the
company was entitled to an in
creased revenue, which was to be
brought about by granting the meter
rates requested, including such
sharp increases as jump from 28c
to 40c per 1000 gallon from the first
10000 gallons. The minimum me-
ter charge, however, was set at SIG
instead of the $18 as requested. In
addition the old service charges of
$500 year for 70 inch meter and
$10.80 year for u inch meter
were continued.
These rates became effective Jam
uary l, 1924.

actions of certain public servants,
who for various reasons had seemed
to have strayed from the paths of
good judgement and discretion. Our
attack on the Police Administration
brought almost immediate relief and
our stand in defense of Mr.. Aander-
son against the so-called Sidewalk
bosses" Of Council had the effect Of
creating public sentiment which
proved insurmountable when the test
came.
We decline to take political sides
but we would feel remiss in our duty
as public agent to shut our eyes to
actions and movements of deleter-
ious character to the general welfare
of our town.
Another improvement to our paper
page was the use of new type for
front page captions beginning with
the issue of May 22nd This style of
type, while rather expensive. never
theless adds much to the appearance
of the front sheet and is similar to
that used in ALL large papers,
In our issue of last week we es-
tablished separate sports section
and we hope to continue the same
with the further cooperation of those
who have SO generously contributed
much of the sport news.
Beginning with the present issue
we are attempting to establish q sep
arate section or department for real
estate and hope it will prove of value
and service to our subscribers and
advertisers. Use the classified col
umns for your wants.
A review of our years work would
not be complete without a word in
passing, on the efforts of our short
time" competitor, the Beverly Ad-
vertiser," With. a. brave heart the
Advertiser" dove into the sea of
journalism on October 1st, 1924 and
struck out bravely, first in one direc-
ton and then another until he be-
came so confused that he lost sight
Of his goal and in exhaustion sank
into wet grave on December 31st,
of the same year. We were benefit
ed by his splash for he stimulated
us to greater efforts.
In the last issue of the Banner
prior to the beginning of the present
management the total amount of
paid advertising was 100 inches. To-
days copy in hand contains TIP in
ches or an increase of about 240%
in one year. This was caused partly
because of our energetic efforts in
soliciting and partly because the
Banner" has come to be recognized
as a paper through which advertisers
can pull"
In our subscription department the
greatest increase in the history of
the paper since its foundation has
taken place with 287 new paid sub
scribers on our books. This is par
ticularly gratifying and a real index
of the success in our years work.
We now have subscribers in SO states.
AS a special inducement to those
whose names are not yet on our list
of subscribers and as am evidence of
our good will at this anniversary
time we are offering the remaining
20 issues of the Banner" for 1925
at the nominal figure of Is cents.
This price includes mailing to any
place in the United States. A coupon

request its use for new subscribers.

.FREFHOLDERS AWARD
3 BRIDGE CONTRACTS
Two Bridges To Be Replaced Which
Were Destroyed Recently.

Three bridge contracts were award
ed by the Board of Freeholders on
Friday last and that was the princi-
pal business done during the hour
that the meeting was in progress
Two of the contracts are for bridges
to replace those destroyed along the
| Oswego river, between Martha and
Jenkins, during the fierce forest fire
in the southern part of the county
just before the long drought broke
a few weeks ago. This fire wiped
out perhaps twenty bridges and it is
understood that sooner or later it
will be necessary to replace all of
them On these two bridges the
following bids were received: No.
GIT Theodore Miller and Blair E.
Chew, Indian Mills, $1,087.77; Will
liam c.. Cook, Mount Holly, S1,171 Z;

lington, $4,000. The contract was
awarded to the Hill Company.
Vincentown Electricity Soon
1t developed at the meeting that
Vincentown is soon to have the cleo
trio current which it has been want
ing so long. The Public Service
Electric Company made application
for permission to erect seventy-one
poles along the county road from
Eayrestown to Wncentown, to con-
meet with the line that win run from
Lumberton, and favorable action was
taken. 1t was understood that no
time would be lost getting on the
work and there appeared to be a
likelihood that Vincentown would get
modern lighting by the time it has
been promised, September /. WhethE
er it comes on that date or a few
days later, it is sure thing that
everybody in Vincentown will be
happier when the great date arrives.
In this cry of partial darkness Vim
centown says that what it most de-
sires is light.
Columbus Road Settled
Report was made that Mansfield
Township Committee had announced
its willingness to accept water-bound
macadam, as the type of paving that
would be satisfactory for the propos-
ed curb-to-curb improvement to be
made along Main street in Columbus.
This matter of decision has been
held up for a short time because
some of the Columbus people inter
ested were holding out for asphalt,
but those directly connected with the
operation could not see necessity for
the greater expenditure that asphalt
would entail. The county is to be
responsible for the expense of the
accustomed width through the center
of the street and the township will
bear expense for the sides. County
Engineer Smith was instructed to
prepare plans and specifications for
the water-bound macadam type and
have them submitted for the appro-
val of the Freeholders and also of
the Township Committee.
County Detective Parker, made a
luscious report on his trip to Indiana
to attend the national convention of
Chiefs of Police. Parker went out
at county expense with the approval
of the Freeholders before he went
and he felt that the Freeholders
