Public Service Commission; Ilf March 17, 1933 If this wer,:4 simply a question of making a vacancy allowance on George's cabins, the matter could easily be straightened oat, hn'f we cannot interpret the rate eohednle in hie favor without] making a similar application to other people in town who opn cabin coarts. In oar original ap 11- cation for an increase in rates, we requested a rate of 12,00 per cabin, and during the hearing this matter was gone into very thoroughly, principally because of the objection of Hr. George, end- to eatfafy him and other court owners the rate was reduced to #l*i 0 per cabin. However, Mr. George's re­quest at the present time would affect the application of our rates over the entire city, and we feel that any such change would be harmful 1/n that it would involve future changes in rate schedule §||§fhearing by the Public Service Commission, and while cabin courts are a commercial organisation we feel that they should pay their share of the water consumed under the same as any other businees house. s.flat rate schedule, Mr. George mailed us his check, according to his application, and on receipt of the delinquency notice which we mailed him, called at the office and flatly refused to pay the balance due, st- ting that he was going to handle the matter with the Nubile service Commission, Our purpose in writing you this letter ig to inform you ully of the facts in the case, fad to direct attention to the fact that an interpretation of the schedule, such as he asks, will have a distinct bearing on rates paid by other water consumers. Yours truly, Vice ^resident and Agent. Bey - Mr Leo McHamee.
