Utilities Shun
RATE Reduction
Decline to Consider
Excess Profits Rebate

LANSING. June ! - (P) -
The principal public utilities of
the state declined today at a
hearing before the State Public
Service Commission to offer any
proposals for rate reductions
which would offset excess pro-
fits taxes paid the Federal Gov
eminent.
Spokesman for the utilities in
many cases said they were UNI
able because of business uncer-
taintles to estimate what those
excess profits taxes would be,
and contended that rates should
not be based on current abnor-
NAL business conditions.
James II. Lee, assistant cor
poration counsel for Detroit, de-
clarcd that if the utilities cVade
or disclaim' the ability TO esti-
mate such profits they are de-
feating a recent state Supreme
Court decision holding those
taxes have no place in comput-
ing rates. He said that the COM
mission legally is barred from
fixing retroactive rates at the
end of the year to offset 1914
taxes.
Kit F. Clardy. counsel for the
Michigan Gas and Electric Com
pany and the Lake Superior
Power Company, accused Lee of
stepping out Of character as
counsel for Detroit and bccom-
ing candidate for Lieutenant
Governor on the Democratic
ticket"
