The Consumer Demande Reguation and the Company demande protection for its service and investinent. How are the "decisions" made? The Utilities Counn4sson Fixes Rules in con- formity with which the utility company muet cosiduct its business. These rules specify the manner in which the bookes*hall be kept, com- ýplainte adjusted. charges which may be made te the consumer, the price of gai, the quality of gai, etc. How us the Price of Guo Fixeil? Contrary to popular opinion in some quarters, the Cas Com- pany does not try to charge ail it- possibly, can for gai. There are certain f ixed coite of providing gai service which muet be met and in addition to these only a fair profit je obtainable. What Items Make Up th ii.Pre of Cas? The coite of providing gai service can be iimmarized under five heads: Production, Other Oper- ating Expensea, Taxes, Deprcciation, Return on Investment. The Utilities Commission, and thru the Commission the people's repre;entatives, have accesa to our records. From the actual -. facto these coes are reduced te definite figures anmd thie price of gai is f ixed to cove>- tt'em. For instance, [)epreciation anmd Return on Invest- -- ment are based on the value of the property oui. ploye& To determine this value the North Shore Gai Company has made an appraisal of its prop- erey in minute detail, the regults of which are now Wéfore the Commission in the present bearing te determine the price of gai. Thru Lack-of Informationu many people ieem te feel that *'investment" je apt to include -iwatered items" or -inflated values." We wieh to point eut that in computing a "fair return- tihe rate of esrninge is net figured on a basis of "capitalization"; but on the ACTUAL FAIR VALUE of the PROPERTY devoted te gai ser- vice. In Tbis Statenient We Wish to Make Cer open, that Cai Company affaire are thoroly that gai rates are based on coite of doing .On"lii. osi the Eaanings of the North Shore Gas - Company have not been enough to cover Depreciation and Return on lnvestment since carly 1917. There have been no dividende paid, of course. It bai been necessary to borrow money ta pay the bond intereet. This is due to the great inca-tase in coat of providing-serviee. # IV« Uad Auy Choice in Met"od of meet- ing tihe situation we should choose relief thru lowered production expenses. That would leave the rate te the consumer lower. Lower rates to the consumer mean more general use of'the; ser- vice, hence incteaued production. It i8 by in- creased production and flot by increased rates that we bope to build up the service. But growth must be baoed on f air eai-nings for the actual money invested and cannot continue with in- creasing losses. W. Cannot Cut Cot of Mateia, labor and money lower than they are. The Utilities Comn- mission cannot contraI these coite. Notwith- etanding the fact tIîat coîts of supplying gas are increased-about I100 pet cent over pre-war coite, the selliig price of gas on the North Shore has been increased only 16 per cent -average.
