of about 7 per cent of the sum
in controversy-som around
$95 ,000--would be proper payment.
Mr.. Berry and Lloyd Harrison,
attorney for the PUG, objected
vigorously to the courts assessing
the gas company for Mr.. Roberts
fee. They pointed out it would be
charged off by the company as
operating expenses and the con-
sumers would ultimately pay
for it.
Mr.. Berry declared:
"Mr. Roberts said he was per-
forming a public service when he
entered the case and that fees
would not be accepted"
Mr.. Roberts responded that he
had assured Mr.. Baker and the
federation that they would be
charged no fees. He added, II

gestion that the consumers should
pay for 1t"
He said the public had benefited
greatly by the action and since
1t was successful, he felt pay

minimum fee was in order.

saw no legal barrier to his set
ting a fee for Mr.. Roberts. He
added he would wait to decide un-
