1DissentHagarty, J.
On the 1st day of July, 1931, article 4-B, added to the Public Service Law on April 24, 1931, became effective (Laws of 1931, chap. 715, § 3). It placed private water supply companies under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission, and, in so far as the parties to this litigation are concerned, provided that, in the absence of an existing contract, the fixation of rates between them rested in the Public Service Commission, superseding and repealing, to that extent, the provisions of section 472 of the Greater New York Charter. (City of New York v. Maltbie, 274 N. Y. 90, 99,100.)
