NEW YORK, August 21.-A reduc-
ton in electric rates that will mean
an estimated saving to residents of New
York City and vicinity Of about $780,
600 during the year it will be in effect.
900 during the year it will be in effect
Commission The emergency measure.
effective September l. calls for a de-
crease Of about per cent in city rates
and per cent in Westchester County
rates.
An announcement yesterday by
Chairman Mflo B. Maltbie of the COM
mission will affect six companies. Those
in the city are the New York Edison
Co, United Light & Power Co., Brook
lyn Edison Co. Bronx Gas g. Electric
Co. and the New York & Queens Elec-
trio Light g. Power Co. The sixth COM
pany is the Westchester Lighting Co.
Large Electric Surplus Cited.
The chairman's opinion accompany
ing the order gave as its cause large
surpluses of the companies, excess over
per cent income on the stated value
Of their common stock, large dividends
paid and company reports as to book
costs.
1t stated that the accumulated sur
plus of the companies at the end of
1882 amounted to more than s167 ,O00,-
900 and added: 1T seems osly reason
able that the utilities shall contribute
from these accumulated surplus earn
tngs. II necessary to assist in national
recovery" These surpluses, says the
opinion, ought to be used for the bene-
at of the public"
Dividend Rates Compared.
Maintaining that the New York City
utilities have not heretofore borne
their fair share Of the depression, the
opinion asserts that not one company
paid lower dividend rate in 1882 than
in 1929, and five of the seven consid-
cred IN the opinion paid more.
Utilities with such earnings and such
generous surpluses as those of the New
York electric companies should not only
be willing, but anxious, to assume a gen.
eYous share Of the burden from which
they have SO long escaped" says the
opinion.

COLLINS FIGHTS
{. NJ. 7. T.C.FUND

Representative Ross A. Collins
Cd, of Mississippi, is about to
renew his fight to abolish the
Citizens Military Training Camps,
according to reports on Capitol
Hill.
Collins is pacifist. Thanks
to politics and the House senior
ity rule, however, he heads the
Appropriations subcommittee that
writes the Army appropriation
bill.
Three years ago. Collins put
through a bill authorizing more
than $1,O0O.o00 to buy the ia
nous Gutenberg Bible, now re-
posing in the Congressional Ii
brary.
When it comes to the Army,
however, Collins shows no such
liberality. Not only is he de-
termined to abolish the c. M. T. c.
it is reported, but he wants to
eliminate $3.000,000 for training
of men in the Officers Reserve
Corps.
Also, it is reported, he is out
to slash one-third from the appro-
priation for the Reserve Officers
Training Corps.
