Rates Increased by the compromise order, Cronk asserted, could only affect persons directly interested who had opportunity of attending a public hearing, and therefore, he added, the increased rate were void, while the decreased rates contained tn the order were valid because the company had accepted them. He cited legal decisions giving courts authority to accept one part of tne commission oraer ana reject the other. Ransom, the Water Company at torney, asked the court not to Issue the Injunction which would, he said. upset an the "beneficial results" of the ate "ccmpiomlse; He pictured the importance of the $66,000 reduction in fire protection costs to the dry and $65,000 reductions, he added, for domestic consumers, altogether, with Increases to other customers, calculated to decrease the revenues of the company $53,000 a year. He aald 47.000 customers, or 7 per cent, of the users, had paid lower bills in April and that the company had lost $9,000 In revenues In the month.

Unreason able rates may be either too high or too low. That is for the commission to decide. When commission has determined on a course of action, no complaint can restrict the commission from performing its duty. The commission has the right to fix rates on Investigation and nothing is said about the parties to the petition. "Surely, your honor will not upset Iect rte re regarded by the public officials of your city, charged with representing the pub lic, as being of substantial benefit to the public.

The whole idea was to try out this change of schedule, to give It fair and reasonable experimentation." Bound by Law. Joseph J. Daniels, attorney for the Water Company, argued that I the. com mission was bound by the law only to make "Just and reasonable rates' after a hearing. He contended that consumers have no vested right in the maintenance of any par tlcular rate because, he said, the con sumer is not compelled to take the service and is not entitled to be heard on every complaint.

WUde made a rebuttal argument for the consumer companies, "The course of the Water Com pany over the last fifteen years would not mm tare against counsels argu ment that the emergency section of the public service commission law operates only for the purpose of rate IncreaseaV Wilde said. He answered other specific points, denying that the injunction suit brought against the Water Company awi uauueu wo wivuaj ucicuyauie not making the commission a party to the action. "It is not necessary that these Plaintiff, be relegaT to the public service commission for relief when it is shown that, the commission acted nih il Mm AtrtTwu ltv Yr ud pany attorneys themselves had argued before the commission that the commission did not have Jurisdiction under the emergency clause.

If you figure what that 1 cent reduction in taxes amounts to as compared with this increase In water rates to other customers, you win see why the consumers are not smiling. "The public service commlsison is not a sacred organization standing witn powers outside the law. rm." legislature never gave the commission power to raise rates on the public without a and a formal public hearing. If the city agreed to these rates, it did not agree to them for us.

And to say there is no vested right in the water user because he doesnl nave to take service! Why. in this city of nearly half a million souls you have to take the service whether you like ft or not. And our plaintiffs allege they can not op erate their buildings without water service "Further.

I do not believe that threata to go somewhere to get higher rates has any place in this court of equity. It was In the repartee between counsel which followed that Wilde pointed out the plan of the compromise which be aald was made before tha commission "at the point of a cun." Judge Williams gave the Water Company four days after the date! on which the Moynahan attorneys would file their briefs for the com pany attorneys to file respondent! briefs. Moynahan a attorneys demand ed tnat tne water company retrain from cutting off water service for I nonpayment of bills until the end of 1 the case or else tnat the court im mediately issue the injunction.
