Text: There is no dispute in this connection as to the amount of electricity used by Solubles; the sole dispute is as to the rate to be charged. Fisheries billed Solubles at the rate of .0449¢ per kilowatt hour, while the Vice-Chancellor allowed a charge of.015¢ per kilowatt hourt. Admittedly, Fisheries is entitled to charge the actual cost to it, but apparently the Vice-Chancellor allowed the lesser rate on the theory that it had been agreed to by Hayes and Levin. In our opinion, the supposed compromise was never accepted by Hayes since it was part of an overall suggested compromise of the dispute between Hayes and Levin which was never finally agreed to in all its terms. No reason appears why the actual cost to Fisheries cannot be obtained from Fisheries' records. We will, therefore, reverse this finding and remand on this point with instructions upon further accounting to ascertain the cost to Fisheries from its records of supplying electric power to Solubles and to allow Fisheries that rate in computing the allowable charge.
