GAS SHUT OUT?
That Plant May Be Ercluded in the
8O-Cent Salt.

A comment made by Judge Hough yesterday
morning in the United States Circuit Court, might
indicate that, whatever conclusion he may arrive
at TO the constitutionality of the S)-cent gas
law. he will not agree with Mr., Masten, the REF
cree, in his finding that the Astoria plant of
the Consolidated Gas Company should be allowed
IN the capitalization claimed by the company II
the corporation is also TO include its various manu-
featuring plants Manhattan Island.
The lawyers for the city the Attorney General
and the Public Service Commission have fought
against the admission Of the new Astoria plant,
which is not yet completed. The attorneys for
the gas company. on the other hand. have con-
tended that 1t was only a question of time when
the company would be forced TO relinquish the
use of its plants in Manhattan. and that the
timely investment in the Astoria plant should
therefore properly be included In tine capitalization
on which they said, the company is entitled to a
fair return.
Charles f Mathewson of the lawyers for
the Consolidated, in his closing argument yester-
day. suggested that possibly the city thought the
company should be satisfied with a recompense
which would he based on only the distributing
plant in Manhattan This caused Judge Hough to
remark that he had failed to see why the referee
had permitted the inclusion of the investment in
the Astoria plant in the company's capitalization,
as the Manhattan plants only occupied In
the production of gas at present.
when the Astoria plant comes to be used
Judge Hough said, 1T could obtain its profit from
the sale of gas to the Consolidated company That
company could base its charges to consumers on
the cost of the gas, added to the value of the
Manhattan plants"
In answer TO ex-Judge Parker's suggestion that
the company could make a trial of the new law
and then, If II found IL inequitable appeal with
good reason to the Legislature for its repeal, Mr.
Ma'hewson doubted whether practical trial would
be possible. the justice of the law were al
lowed to pass unquestioned.
James NJ. Beck. in closing for the gas company
again emphasized his objection TO delegating au-
thofity in matters of vital interest to corporations
10 public service commissions or similar bodies
simply because the Legislature found itself re-
heVed thereby of so much work. Admitting the
expressed reluctance Of the United States Su-
preme Court TO set aside state statutes he as
serted that this reluctance was steadily becoming
less as the necessity for federal Intervention be-
comes more evident"
senator Page suggested that as, tho 1lth street
plant OF the company was not in use and as its
equipment was of no value the court should make
u personal inspection of the plant before deciding
"hether the valuation given 10 II ny the gas com
pahy should be allowed Judge Hough did not say
whether no would act on the suggestion. The law
yers received ten days time in which 10 submit
briefs ~ " '"'i'ii1
