I do not consider that we have any outstanding overcharges whatsoever as all of the charges made in our accounts were made in accordance with tariff in effect at the time charges were made.

Page 13« Under this item, the Commission finds "that the Las Vegas Land and Water Company be authorized to waive the collection of any out­standing undercharges which may be due for service prior to January 1, 1952, etc." I believe that this finding was made in order to prevent the Water Company from trying to collect water bills for air condit­ioning and refrigeration service from consumers who had never been tioned in Items 2 to 5 inclusive of the Commission's opinion, Page 13 thereof, the following comments are submitted:
