Monopoly,
Declares Thomas

Corporation Counsel Edwin S.
ThOmasy who conducted the fight
against the monopOIIstie gas
light eOmpany's efforts to in
crease its capital stock, com.
mented on the decision as fol-
lows:
"The effect of this decision
negatives any power conferred
by Congress under Section 3 of
the act of June 6, 1890, to in
crease the capital stock of the
Washington Gas Light Company.
1t will prevent the valuation of
the property by the company
and stop absolutely any attempt
to increase its capital stock.
"The Court of Appeals has de-
clared unconstitutional Section
D of the act under which the
proceedings were held in the
lower court. This will tend to
prevent any attempt on the part
Of the. company to carry out its
threat to increase its capitaliza-
ton until the section has been
remedied by legislation"
Mr.. Thomas believes Congress
will at once remedy the defects
Of the law and make reguIa-
tiOns for the control of the COM
pany Immediately. In the event.
however, that legislative action
is not taken at once, 1t is known
that the gas light company will
appeal its case to the Supreme
Court.

and the cost of future exten-
sions, it might increase its
capital stock to an amount
not exceeding the judicially
found figures.
Neither company had in
voked that law until last sum
mer when the Georgetown
Gas Light Company brought
IN a petition, which was
granted. Following upon the
heels of the Georgetown de-
clsion the Washington Gas
Light Company filed one. con-
fident Of like success.
Thomas Attacks Law.
Corporation Counsel Thomas had
reserved for the larger COMPANY.
however, this attack upon the con-
stitutionality of the act. Meeting
defeat al every turn when before
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court he appealed to the Court Of
Appeals, holding that the act of
Congress that had lain dormant for
over eleven years was, in fact. un-
constitutional, and that it should
not have been invoked by the com
pany, even at this late dav.
He is upheld in his views bv two
members of the court. Justices
Shepard and Robb. Justice Van
orsdell, however, dissents.
Two Questions Involved.
The court in giving its opinion stated
there were two questions TO be consid-
cred: First, the eonsututionaIitv OF the
act Of Congress invoked in the original
petition OF the washington Gas LIGHT
Company; second, whether the court II

hibittOn asked for. The opinion con
tinues.
~The duty Of ascertaining the
value Of the plant of the Washing

future extensions and enIargements,

stock, is a legislative one involving

The fight of the Commits
sioners, Mr.. Thomas, Stuart
Mcnamara, for the United
States, and The Times is thus
conclusively upheld, that is,
as far as defeating the de-
signs of the Gas Company t,
water its stock is concerned.
The court holds that the
act Of Congress in comforting
upon the District Supreme
Court the power to appraise
the actual cash value Of the
plants of the gas companies
is unconstitutional, for the
reason that the powers con-
ferred are not judicial. This
has been the contention of
Corporation Counsel Thomas,
and he is upheld by the court.
The act was passed in 1896,
and section five provided that
either gas light company
might apply to the Supreme
Court for a judicial appraise-
ment of its plant, AMI that
