This question is raised in the water com- pany case before the supreme court by Lawrence and Murphy, employed by the city as special counsel in mat- ters affecting the company. The question of the constitutionality of ‘the commission's supervision and authority over utility rates looked upon by utility men and the railroad commissioners as the most. important feuture raised in, the case in the su- preme court. The view taken by some utility men is.that if the act is held unconstitutional the utilities agai would be thrown back on to pol. favor of city councils n rrates, and the situation would bring the utilities back into. the position of seeking to elect men favorable to them. The suspension order was made by the railroad,.commission in Septem- ‘ber, but the order given the attorney- general to halt the alleged disregard of the commission's order is dated Sept. 14. The commission hid granted increases ta the Hughes Electric com- pany in August and the proposed schedule of increases followed the granting of\these rates. ‘The letter of \thexcommission to the Hughes Blec-| jtric company follows: | Hughes Electric Compdny, 1 Bismarck, N. D. Gentlemen: | At a meeting of the Commission ‘held this morning it had under con- | sideration the application, under date lof Aug. 30, 1920, of your company for an increase in rates for general light- ing, street lighting and electric ser- vice to’the Bismarck Water Supply Company for pumping water to its reserviors. The Commission took in- to consideration the operating reports 1 filed by your Company for the months of June and July and particularly the tcomplete data for the month of Aug- ust. It of the opinion and so re- corded action that the present its gale of rates recently authorized has nt trial as to permit jit to take any final action at this time iby further increasing the rates of the | company. It believes that rates. re- cently authorized should be tested sufficiently apd that inasmuch as the return from steam heat,should redu yp: the, major portion of the net revenue estimated to be required by the com- mission, a further adjustment in the rates would be inadvisable until the result of the increase in steam rates ean be’shown in the income and ex- pense statements. < | Inasmuch therefore, as the com- pany has served notice by its appli- }cation that the rates and charges con- tained therein shall take effect on the 30th day of Sept. 1920, which is thirty days after the date of filing of the ; said application, the. Commission | therefore hereby- suspends said .sup- | plemental increases in rates herein re- ferred to for a period not to exceed |120 days from ahd after Sept. 1920, the time designated by the com- | pany within which the said supplimen- ! tal increase in rates would otherwise go into effect.

Forty or more airships with speeds exceeding 100 miles an hour are to participate in the 160-mile flight over a closed tri- angular course. Kighteen army airplanes ‘and eight representing the navy already have entered ,according to the Aero Club of America, which will conduct the race. Sadi inte, winner of theYe- cent Gordon-Bennett trophy contest at Paris may be a contestant. and each of the American airplanes enter-/ ed in that interational speed race is expected to be in the starting line- up at Mineola. Aviation organizations of foreign countries, have expressed interest in the coming contest and an inquiry from the French Aero Club indicated its desire to enter one or more “ships.’ * Award Liberty Bonds The Pulitzer Trophy, donated by Ralph ‘Pulitzer to the Aero Club of America, is‘ to be competed for an- tually, the coming race being ,the first. Gold, silver and bronze plaques have ‘been hung up for winners of first, second and third places, and in addition, nearly $4,000 in Liberty 3onds is to be awarded pilots of eraft which perform best in machines of various classes. Free-for-all is the type of race it will be, but each plahe must have an air speed greater than 100 miles an hour as loaded forthe start of the race, and the factors of safety, visa- bility and maneuverability are to be considered by the judges before, en- trants can start. Four 40-mile laps will be embraced in the 160-mile triangular course with the turns at Wantaga and Baby- lon, Long Island.
