Argument Of Mr.. Baker for the
Water Company.

May it please your Honors:
l feel that counsel on both sides and
the parties on both sides. as well. are
sincerely indebted to this Commission
for the exceedingly patient hearing
| they have given to all the facts that
either party deemed material. l am
! not certain, and perhaps the Commits
sion will be less certain, whether had
they known the immense time that
would be consumed they would have
been able to give their services to this
hearing; but 1 know only express the
feelings of all counsel in the case-cer-
tainly the sincere feelings Of myself
in saying that there could have been no
more fair. candid hearing granted the
parties by any tribunal, and feel my
self-and | want to say this in view Of
certain Of the rulings Of the Court
where the Court has felt compelled to
rule against our -contentiOns-that feel
that the Court has been actuated by the
most sincere purpose to get at the truth
and to allow no other consideration to
stand in the path of its Judgment.
need not say that am sure that same
Impartial purpose, that same sincere
desire to do justice to this great cause,
will continue to govern this Commits
sion through the responsible, but brief
er. part of it's remaining labors.
shall not hope to emulate counsel in
his length. and shall be unable to
emulate him in the signal ability with
which he presented his cause. ap-
preciate. If the Court please. fully, the
commanding array of counsel which
has been properly engaged here on be-
half of the District. 1 appreciate and
respect their high abilities. They haye
left nothing undOne in the performance
of their duty to cause the real values,
the splendid values that exist in this
property, to dwindle. and, IL possible, to
disappear. They have burrowed in the
mouldiest corners Of this case; they
have opened it's abandoned culverts;
they have covered themselves with
dust. albeit dust of glory, from its up
Dernlost attics. They have assurediy
been exhaustive; they have at times
threatened to become exhaustless: they
have possibly at moments become ex-
hausting. but they have done 1t all in
pursuance of their high idea Of their
duty to their client as they viewed it.
Each Of the three able counsel associat-
ed against us has contributed his full
