The public service commission’s reasons for not cutting utility rates are set forth In the annual report of that body for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, by Frank B. Farls, an examiner. The report sets out that while there has been a marked decline In the number of petitions for Increases, this does not Justify the cutting of rates, because utility rates were not increased In proportion to other costs during the war. The report shows that the commission authorized the lssuarce of securities totaling $21,167,533 and that it valued utility property amounting to $39,160,214. The statement giving reasons for not cutting utility rates Is made despite the fact that a number of petitions from municipally owned utilities for rate reductions are now on file with the commission.
