LONGS RESPONSE
City Attorney Writes About Inn
nounding of Excess Moneys

In response to the board of super
visors' inquiry at the suggestion of
Connolly as to what steps the attorneys S
office had taken TO secure notifications
Of the restraining orders issued the
gas and water companies City Attorney
Long wrote yesterday to the board that
relief in the way of the consumer re-
sisting the turning off of water or gas
had been denied by the court, although
the impounding of all excess moneys
had been granted. In part, Longs com
munication follows:
Prior to the passage of such reso-
lutions this Office had already applied
for notifications of the restraining or
ders in two particulars; one TO permit
the individual consumer to contest the
rates sought to be charged by either
the water company or the gas company,
and the other, in case such modifica-
tion was not allowed to compel the
impounding of the excess charged the
consumer.
The circuit court denied the modifi-
cation as to the consumer, but modi-
fed as to the impounding of the eX-
cess. AS the restraining orders now
stand the consumer is not permitted
TO contest the rates sought to be
charged by the water company and the
gas company, but both of these COM
panies are compelled to pay into court
any amounts they may receive in ex-
cess of the rates fixed by the board
of supervisors.

ATTORNEY ARGUES
FOR 81 CENT RATE
Haven Asks Judge Van Fleet to
Fix Limit on Charges of
Gas Company
Court Doubts Validity of Water
Case Ruling, but Suggests
Another Remedy

Assistant City Attorney Thomas L.
Haven spent the entire day in the
United States circuit court yesterday
in the presentation of arguments in
behalf of the municipality against the
temporary injunction sought by the
gas company. Haven began at II
o'clock in the morning and concluded
at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon Garret
McEnerney viii reply this afternoon in
behalf OF the corporation.
At the close Of his argument Haven
asked Judge Van Fleet, in case he
should enjoin the S5 cent rate, to pre-
scribe A limit beyond which the COM
pany should not charge. Haven
pointed out that Judge harrington had
taken this course in the Spring Valley
case and added that unless something
of this sort were done the corporation
would be at liberty to put into effect
any schedule that it chose.
Judge Van Fleet replied that he had
some doubt as to the legality of Judge
Farringtons action on this point and
stated that in his opinion it was a
usurpation of court power, as no au-
thority TO establish rates had ever
been vested in the judiciary. The
judge suggested that if the corpora
tion should manifest a desire TO make
"unconscionable" charges he could, II
il were called to his attention by the
city attorney dissolve the injunction.
McEnerney cut short this colloquy
by announcing that the company pro-
posed. if the injunction were granted,
to continue the 81 rate. He added
that for the present the corporation
was endeavoring to establish the fact
that ii was entitled to rate in excess
of 81, but that on the final hearing it
would take the stand that it should
be allowed to charge s1.2S.
During his argument Haven empha-
sized the point that the corporation
had sold gas in some sections of the
city for So cents and that it had aver
aged only 81 cents, although the city
had given il full power TO charge S5.
This revelation caused Judge Van Fleet
to inquire If this were not an indi-
cation that the company considered So
cents a reasonable rate. McEnerney
replied that the company was forced
by competition to cut its rates in some
parts of the city, but that this in no
way affected the total amount TO
which il was entitled based on the
value of the plant Haven showed that
at one time TO meet competition tbs
company had put a 25 cent rate into
effect in some parts of the city and
showed that the inevitable result was
gross discrimination.
Haven offset the claims of the COM
pany for depreciation by asserting that
the supervisors had made allowance
for several items TO which the COM
pany was not entitled. Among these
items was that for extra business,
which had been allowed the company
by the supervisors on the theory that
il would cost more to take care of
the growing business.

Culinary Notes

Olive OiI-Unless one has good
cellar it will be best to buy oil in
small quantities. Buying in large
quantities is much more economical if
there be a good place to keep the
supply. Oil is cheaper when bought
in large bottles than in small ones;
yet in a small family it is better to
buy the small bottles, as oil loses its
fine flavor if the bottle be opened often.
