Standard Of Value False

Referring to Mayor Windham's testi-
mony that he and the council fixed
the rates in the ordinance, using as a
standard of value the amount of money
originally invested in the property, the
court says this was a mistake of law,
adding:
"On this theory the council fixed the
standard of value at 100000 for the
fixing of rates. From the weight of
testimony given the court is bound to
find that the water adds very material
ly to the value of the plant and should
be considered in fixing its value. The
council acted upon the false premise
that the company was entitled to moth
ing for depreciation and replacement,
while the federal courts hold that de-
probation by wear and tear must be
considered. The testimony shows that
IL the full quota of water was used the
income of the company for the year,
July 1908, to July 1909, would be $42, ,2S4,
every cent of which would be consumed
in actual operating expenses, without
allowing anything for requirements, re-
pairs or interest on the property"
This, says the court, would alone in
validate the ordinance, even If the
value of 100000 were correct. The
court, however, says he has found the
value of the property to total $S14.660
a full half million above the value fixed
by the council.
The charge that the city trustees act
ed fraudulently, says the court, hardly
deserves mention, and he expresses the
belief that the members acted in good
faith but were mistaken in the stand
ard of value to be used in fixing the
rate.
In conclusion the court says: 1.-THE
ordinance should be annulled and the
city restrained from enforcing it,"

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 1s.-That
the race war situation in this city is
considered much less serious was evil
denced tonight when Governor Deneen
issued orders for the return of the First

homes tomorrow.
IT took this action after a conference
with Sheriff Werner. Mayor Reece,

night.

THE refusal of the various white

ration an order was issued that the

Ordered Back to Work
All were ordered to report back at
their posts tomorrow. The walkout
today was not in a body, but by indi-
viduals who feared that the negroes,
alarmed at conditions in the city, were
armed and might inadvertently be
started into violence. The negroes pro-
tested the most peaceable intentions.
Nearly all of last nights shooting,
according to Chief Deputy Long, was
done by soldiers.
Long was riding in the wagon with
other deputies and soldiers, among
them being Lieut.. Ridgeway Of the
First infantry, whose scabbard was
struck by bullet. and Deputy Sheriffs
John Garfield and Harry F. Kramer.
1t leaked out tonight, despite efforts
of Garfield to keep the matter secret,
that one of last nights bullets went
through his hat. Others whistled over
Deputy Kramer's head.

WATER COMPANY
WINS ITS CASE
tcontlnued from Pace onel

quoted 1 believe the courts have prac-
tically adopted Judge Beatty's view III
the san Diego case, that rates should
be adjusted to the value of the service
rendered; that is, the company must
be allowed to collect annually a gross
income sufficient to pay current ex-
penses, maintain the plant efficiently,
declare a stockholders dividend equal
to the lowest rate of interest on the
actual value of the property used in
providing water to consumers The
present value is the true basis upon
which compensation is to be allowed" ."
Taking up the case under considera-
tion, Judge Hutton says it is apparent
the law made 1t the duty of the city
council, when adopting the ordinance
in question, to consider the actual
value of the property necessarily used
by the company in furnishing water at
the time the ordinance was adopted,
and also to consider the necessary op-
Grating expenses. This, he says, it did
not do.
