Hearing Opens On West Pittsburg Water Company Plea
Testimony began this morning in the petition to abandon the West Pittsburg Water Company. H J Peacock of the Public Utility Commission presides in the courthouse while Barnett A Marcus and Peter A Paulson, owners, advocate abandonment citing ongoing losses. Accountant Murray Thaw testified 1947 income was 3543.10 with 162 metered customers and four industries. Paulson said partners had to inject funds to cover expenses since January 1. Citizens may drill wells or take over the plant if abandoned. a 1944 basket purchase complicates price estimates for the water plant alone. Counsel include former commissioner Thomas Buchanan and Allen D Keller. protestants are represented by William McElwee Jr and others.
