Tho appeal to tho public serrlco commlslon, Mr. Do Armond empha sizes, is an admission by the company ot tho auth'orlty.ot that body, which was hotly disputed In 1916 whea tho Bottlers asked for an order for tho regulation and control of, he C O. I. company by tho commission. At tho hearing at that tlmo, he points out, an audit ot tho company's books showed that a good profit was being mado In spito ot tho fact that a considerable percentage ot accounts had not been collected. As an out como ot the hearing, the company was order to set aside $3500 an nually for tho rebuilding ot tho big flumo ubova Dpnd. "Tho district will make a deter mined fight In this case," Mr. De Armond said, "tor wo consider that tho situation dcea not warrant the Increaso which has been applied for. It tho company -would collect all ac counts payable, there would bo suf ficient to keep the system In excellent repair, whllo It the proper funds had been applied for repair in tho punt the need fer thin extraordinary amount would not now be felt. It is apparently an attempt to extract $40,000 to $50,000 u year from tho sottlors.
