In the hearing-room of the New Jersey Board of Public Utility Commissioners in Newark, New Jersey, where the rates of the Public Service Electric and Gas Co., are on trial, a witness bends over a slide-rule. Frank J. Reardon, appointed to the commission last winter over the heated protests of consumer groups, moves unhappily in his chair. It has been a long, tedious grind, this hearing on the petition to reduce the electric rates of one of the most powerful utilities in the country. Public Service Electric and Gas Co., serves 800,000 consumers in New Jersey's thickly settled sections.
