The Commission in giving its approval to the new rate takes cog nizance of a deficit incurred by the company in furnishing steam at the old rale. The company declared before the commission that the deficit last year was $26,983. The new rate is estimated to increase the revenue about $26,000 just about wiping out last year's deficit. The Ruling The Commission's order follows: "On August 12, 1919, the Commission, by order in C.

2298, maintained Ihe rates which were then under investigation. In its order dismissing that complaint, it prescribed that it was without prejudice to the' right of complainants to renew same on or after May 31, 1920, and therein respondent was directed to file from time to time supplemental statements evidencing its receipts and expenses under these sustained rates down to May 31, 1920. "The respondent by this application alleges and by evidence presented has shown that under its actual experience the cost of producing steam is approximately ten cents per thousand pounds of condensation over that which was anticipated by it and covered by the approved tariff schedule referred to. "No protest has been filed against the ten cent increase now prayed for. The evidence shewstthat respondent's operating expenses for the year beginning June 1, 1918, and ending May 31, 1919, were $186,529.

The gross revenues for the same period were $159,546, leaving a deficit of $26,983. "The ten cent increase asked for will produce about $25,000 or $26, 000 more revenue, an amount which will approximately cover the deficit mentioned. VIn the circumstances the application should be allowed, but upon the same terms as our former order which granted leave to complainants to file a further complaint if they so desire on or after May 31, 1920, upon which the Commission will give further consideration to the matter.
