The District Commissioners, through
Corporation Counsel Thomas. today filed
in the District Supreme Court mo-
ton to dismiss the petition of the Wash

crease of its capital stock.
The Commissioners attack the jurisdic-
ton of the court. claiming the power
conferred by the act of Congress nom

When the motion was called to the at
tention of Justice Gould. he directed
that it be set for argument next Friday.
On application of Attorney r. Ross

holding the value of the Georgetown
company's plant to be s47O.777.3O. The
company desires to increase it's capital
stock from $4,000 to 100000. The ex-
ceptions declare the valuation made by
the auditor excessive, in that elements of
value were taken into consideration by
the auditor which, 1t is claimed, were not
intended by Congress to be included in
an appraisement Of the plant of the
company.
The petition Of the municipal authori-
ties for the dismissal of the recent APP

trict of Columbia in and by section of
said act Is not judicial power within tho
meaning of article III. section l OF the
Constitution of the United States, and Is.
lawfully be exercised by the said Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia.
THAT said section ) of the said act in
tended to confer power on said Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia as a
judicial function and cannot therefore be
tees composing the said court to exer-
else power hereunder in the character
Of commissioners or otherwise.
