With respect to these three subjects they Are certainly very wide of raised in the Peti Tion filed.

The commissioner has made no order in connection therewith but merely mentioned the matter for future consideration on the other lined the commissioner refused to compel the com Pany to segregate the property of Tho traction Utility us distinguished from Tho Juji Fht and Power Utility and instead thereof he treated the creasing the fares and Hydro electric system at Pinawa is in that this order is made for Tern tie property both utilities Horary Relief Only and pending a full and Complete investigation by the commissioner us to what the proper fares should on sept. 25, 1919, the company made a further application to the1 Public Utility commissioner for a temporary increase in fares pending a anal investigation and order there upon and on oct. 3, the Public Utility commissioner made a further interim order authorizing a temporary increase. In Tho interval Between the orders the commission conducted an exhaustive investigation to the a fairs of the company and heard Evi Dence for and against the application the investigation continued until Tho month of july 1920, resulting in the anal order made on Tho 23rd Hist which superseded All the interim orders.

So cd grocers 1 surplus for Tho purpose especially As when the contract was originally made and All through the prior his tory of the company the shareholders were always willing to take the Ordinary risk of a commercial enter prise and there was no Lack of Cap ital flowing to the concern and further that the petition asking for the increased fares stated specifically that it tide Over the difficulties of an abnormal period and did not make a request for a surplus. Should also Bear loss it would appear to me Only Tair that if the company be. Divert some Relief during an abnormal period it should be made to Bear some of Tho loss created by that abnormal per Iod and that the commissioner should have so readjusted the. Reve nue of the company by the order As to separate the Burden equally Between the shareholders who were bound by a definite contract to pro vide facilities for the car riders and the car riders who would get the Benefit of the service which the com Pany was to provide. Instead of do Irik so however the. Commissioner has exercised his Powers to compel the car riders to Bear the full Bur Den of the abnormal conditions and has entirely relieved company from the terms of a solemn contract. J there is also another feature of the order of the commissioner which merits serious consideration and that is that he has totally ignored the provisions of by Law relating to workmen s tickets. Section 5 of by Law no. States distinctly cheap tickets for workmen must be sold at the rate of Ciprut for 256." the Public Utility commissioner has in effect said that cheap tickets for workmen must not be sold. In Giviner his authority for increase ins the fares Over and above those prescribed by the contract the com missioner Lias cited certain specific sections of the Public utilities act. I have examined these provisions very carefully and i cannot find any where in them anything to justify the. Commissioner in attempting to for baking.
