John Doe and Company (2 Safeway Stores) 401 South 2nd St., Las Vegas, Nevada. Gentlemens In reviewing our accounts for water service furnished by this company we find that since (pctober 9, 1952)you have made no payment on your domestic water bill subsequent to that date which is the date the Nevada Public Service Commission suspended the then authorized refrigeration rates. Our accounts disclose that prior to the date the refrigera­tion rates were suspended, you had paid for regrigeration in ad­vance, which payments have not been.refunded to you, but are being held to your credit until such time as the,Public Service Commission shall mafce a ruling on refrigeration rates. It is our understanding that you have preferred not to pay anything on your domestic water bill on the basis that monies now held by this company would more than cover the current water bills subsequent to that date* It is our position that the monies paid by you as refrigera­tion charges were Jfclegally collected by this company and will be held in suspense until such time as the Commission has made a decision with respect to refrigeration rates, after which your refrigeration account will be adjusted to conform therewith.
