under the estimate, incurring a deficit
which must be met. This past year,
$50 was sufficent to wine out the
deficit and leave 'a credit balanee
le,: Durham.
The litsuover delegates then point-
ed out that if increased rates were
due to not using the contraeted• am-
ount of horsepower, how was it that
Hanover rates had been increased
when they contracted for 300 horse-
power and Were using 14300. Mr, Jeff-
reys 'answered that there had never
Veen any promise that rates would
not go up. Deficits, high interest and
maintenance charges, etc,, might be
responsible fpr the.increased rate.

• The capital investment. at Eugenia
Falls has been steadily inereasect. 111
1916, the capital iny.estment was $1e.
000,196, Iserving municipalaties
over 154 nines of line. In 1917, the
investment was $1.190,432,, and. the,
yearly figures since then were: 1918,-
61,361,286; .1919, $1,389,2990, 1920
61495;950; 1921 62,038;389. Custom-
ers ifiereased from' 11 in .1916 to 23
in 1921, arid the miles of wire inereas-
ed from 154 in 1916 to 290 in 1921.
These figures show that in these
three instanges, • the figures. ,dolibled
from 1916 to 1921. One reason why
the charges were high .was because
the system was built when prices
were. practically at the peak.
