Hr. Reinhardt #5 billed for this service prior to January 1, 1952. fbe water company has no outstanding bills for undercharge®. Item 5. Page 13. The Commission finds that the Las Veg&a Land and Water Company | should in equity reimburse those customers who have paid for sefvlflt under the 1951 schedule of Bates $21 (effective s»ept. X* 1951) cooling water for refrigeration machines* fhe amount collected for refrigeration and air conditioning subsequent to Sept. 1, 1951 under Rate m to June 30, 1953 amounts to $2350.70 which includes $2!**8.5© now being held in a aeparat# water company account, the difference of 1202.20 represents amount paid by consumers during the period Sept, 1 to Dec.. 31# 1951* Referring to the last paragraph of the Commission’s order on Page 1? which states that “the Las ?egas Land and Water Company is authorized to refund any overcharges and waive any undercharges for this type of service which may have occurred prior to the effective date of this order”. I believe that my comments under Items 2 to 5 inclusive of Commission’s findings will furnish the information required by the above mentioned paragraph. It is my thought that the question as to whether refunds authorised by the Commission j should or should not be made, should be decided by the legal depart- 1 sent and executives of the Water Company• L , R.
