It wax ! oecaoaary to nocure au accouulaut.l end for tbto pur post application *»m made at tue hearing to Treulou. The j IHIIIiy Comuiloiloutre, without ooot I | to tblo city, furolabad two accouut auls, who at dlllereut times liive«ti-| ^aled the account* of I lie t 'lty lia* Light t'oippaoy, aud, from their in I | vest igal Ion, lbs ligure* compiled by iliern aiid the exhlbllx preeeuted at Hie liearlugx by the t'lty tias Light] Company, an estimate wax made by I me a* to the lncrea»e«l rata* uac«x»ary, based upon the increased coxt for the year of lbjn over the year of 1919 ' i with the Increased business for the 1 year of IVJh over the previous year. - i I'he petitioner axketl for au Increased ' meter rate of t'J.l per 1000 cubic feel I aud lliat the city contract of |161b3:t i I t»er autiuiu. for street lighting, be In- • jcreaead I11H9J7, maklog the street l ig hling contract I27 V> 00.

You will observe, by the petition, 1 1 that the increased rates were asked | because of increased cost of labor and materials aud not for a return upon i he Investment. By the exhibit* and ; i he evidence pressnted by the City < la* Light Company, the 12.16 rale was based upoo Its estimate of oil at 16 cents per gallou. for money to be expended for extraordinary repair* and for money to be used for worklug capital, aud also for increased coet of > coal, labor aud materials. By an analysis of the tigures ax ax certatned from the Investigation by the accountant*, the estimate as fixed . oy the petition could be considerably decreased, the result being that the rale w an determined by me of 6179 l*r 1000 cubic feel, with the *lretl lighting contract remalolug as of 1919. I'he Board of Public Utility i'ommls- ! loners*, after eubmittlug my brief. : I found it necessary to allow Interest on 0 the uaouay to be uaad for extraordln- ■- a ry repairs and working capital, and that the rate necessary would be 11 * per 1000 cubic feet. but. as this ral< 1 would only become attectlve August 1 it did not provide for the deficiency ii

July, wlieu the deficiency Is based upon the busiueee throughoul the U year, aud in order to take care of tbe c annual deficiency It would be uece* -ary (as by the Utility Commissioners' < report) to have a meter rate of $1.9" H per 1000 cubic feet, tbe eurcharge re i mauilng the same, and with the street I lighting contract not disturbed. t he letter wae ordered received and *o
