rates filed Tuesday, declares the relief afforded by the order was only $187,000 and seeks to increase the company’s revenue $283,000 more annually. The company's figures to show reasons for increase asked: Increased revenue request of June. 1023 $360,000 Belief afforded in order 187.000 Difference $175,000 7 Per Cent on capital additions since 1923 $ 40.000 Increased taxes 70,000 Deficit $283,000 Earnings Increase It is this alleged deficit the company seeks to raise with the new rates. In other words, under the protection of a Federal Court decree of Oct. 3, enjoining the commission from fixing a valuation of less than $19,000,000, the company seeks to get all it asked for, in 1923, plus a return on capital additions and additional tax expense since. With this increase, the earnings would give the company a return on a valuation of $18,300,000. But when the commission fixed the old rate, no increase in the company’s business was taken into cons'deration. It appears, from the figures, that because of increased business, the compary made SIOO 000 more than the order contemplated, or $257,000 Instead of $157,000. as alleged. Commission to Act If the additional SIOO,OOO were capitalized, it would show the company, under the new rates, getting a return on more than $19,000,000, minimum allowed by the court. In view of the fact, the public service commission again will survey all available records of the company for evidence to show that the proposed increase would take the company's revenue far beyond that contemplated by the court decision. The commission will take the matter I up Friday. “Up to Courts” O. D. Haskett, who said he was speaking as an individual and not as chairman of the public service committee of the Chamber of Commerce. today said he did not expect the committee to take further action on the proposed rate increase. "It is beyond the place where individuals can do anything,” he said. "The courts will have to thrash It oi#t.” Committee went on record opposing lncreastd rates before the proposal was submitted to the commission.

GIANT ZEPPELIN WINS PRAISE OF 11. SJXPERTS Believe ZR-3 Will Be Reported on Favorably by Navy Inspectors, H)i United Pres* LAKEIIURST, N. J., Oct. 16.—N0 aviation expert who witnessed arrival of the Zeppelin YAI 3 Wednesday or looked her over in her hangar today expressed least doubt she would be accepted by the United States and added to the country's air force. The airship’s record breaking performance in flying 5.000 miles from Friederichshafen in eighty-one hours, thirteen minutes, and undamaged condition of the craft at finish of ■he flight as well as the ease with which the huge dirigible waj handled, caused nSv.il and military ' ,en to be emphatic In approving her. While Dr. Eekner, the Zeppelin's pilot, her German officers and the four American observers went to Washington to lunch with Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, the ZR-3 was sighing away the last of $12,000 worth of hydrogen gas which supported her on the flight. The gas. highly explosive, is too dangerous to leave in tlie bags, and it would be too expensive a process to attempt to preserve it in tanks. Outcome of the Washington conference is expected to be acceptance of the Zlt-3 as a German reparations payment. Dr. Eckener already had struck the airship’s German flag and an American crew is in charge. Technically, however, the dirigible is not yet American property. The Zeppelin's German crew included several men who had taken part in the bombing of London during the world war and they were stoically unimpressed by (he dirigible's achievement and much Impressed by their first glimpse of the United States.
