denied the application of the Sea Isle City Water Company for an mcreaae in

set forth in a schedule filed on

June iiret. The Commit-iou has huw-

rer, has allowed the company lo file a provision for a surcharge ol 20 per

cent, which is to be applied to all bills -i.deled aud computed in accordance

itli the present existing schedule ol If determining that the new schedule

proposed by tbe company is nnjust and unreasonable, tne Board declared that the rales suggested would, under all circumstances, exceed the value of the

that account would de-

feat the purpose which ' company id in mind, and that ii the increase in At the hearing upon the petition on June 29:h, Mayor Filcb on behalf of the City entered a prop st contending that the proposed rales were excessive and exorbitant and should not be allowed to become effective. Edward B. Arnett filed a comnlaitii, charging the proj osed rate for water for bnilding

purposes at prohibitive.

in view of Uie conclusion in tbit re port, however," Uie report of the Public Utililr Commission stales “Uie valuationofUiepropertr will not berefered to as Uie rates now cliarged and ■elation between earnings and expenses of this company all indicate Uiat Uie mailer should becoosidcred by the board from an emergency standpoint, and any relief group ed in the way of increased revenue should be based entirely upon the absolute requirements of the cu.jpanr in order that it may tot be compelled to

disconUuue service.’'

After reviewing tbe finances of tbe company for 1917, 1918 and 1919 the board showed Uiat np to and including 1917 the president of Ui. company had received no salary, but that for each of Uie years 1918 and 1919 a salary of $1200 ttad been paid, and for this year Uie salary nad been increased tofltaJU. The board added Uiat uo testimony w as submitted allowing justification for paying salaries during Uie last two years wbei costs generally were increasing am revenues had not increased, while the company had been able to get along fur years without the payment of any such

salary. The board added:

"Tbe testimony shows (list Uie services of the president are nominal and it does not appear Uiat these services, in an execuUve r- managerial capacity, are of material .. to tl.- compauy, There is no justification for payment by the company of so large a part of revenue as salary toils president, salary of $300 per year, ir. our judgment is ample compensation for such services as Uie president affords. A deduction will, tliertfore, be made from the ( e«i mated increase to balance the decrease

in the prekidedt’s salary.

"The result indicstes ihai Uie compauy is in ac rual need for Uie year ol 1920 an amoi nt approximating (1953. The board is, therefore, of the opinion Uiat Uie gross revenues of Uie company should be readjusted, if possible, so sr to increase them to tbe estimate of approximately $1900. In tiie opinion of the board this can be best attained by a surcharge of 20 per cent, which is t be made to all bills both municipal an Uiose rendered to private consumer*.’
