CITY Wins POINT
IN DOCK HEARING
Corporation Commission Decides
1t Has Jurisdiction Over
Owners of Property.

Through decision rendered yester-
day by the State Corporation Commits
sion. to the effect that II has juris-
dictton over the owners of the Rich :
mond dock, the city OF Richmond and
the business people whose places are
located on the dock draw first blood
In the effort to force the owners to
repair and reopen the property for
public trafflo. The decision follows
three days of argument on technical
points. on motion made by the at
torneys for the bondholders of the
William r. Trigg Company. who are
the owners of the dock, to dismiss
the petition for want OF Jurisdiction.
While the city is the winner SO far,
there seems to be no reason to hope
that the dock will be reopened for a
long time to come. inasmuch as the
respondents have the right of appeal
to the Supreme Court, which would
tie up the case for an indefinite period.
AS result. 1t is presumed that the
daily visits of the Petersburg line of
steamers. recently discontinued when
the dock gates were broken and since
the failure of the owners to repair
them. need not be expected to be re-
sumed. Also. the business men on tn
dock will apparently not be able to
make use OF II in securing their sup
plies OF coal and other commodities
brought up the James in barges.
Claim of Respondents
The next step presumably will be
n hearing of the petition on it's merits.
Tho discussion of the past few days
has been on the point raised by Eppa
Hunton. Jr.. counsel for the bond
holders, to the effect that his clients
are not transportation company
within the meaning OF the state Con-
stitution and of the Act Concerning
Corporations" which was passed BIZ
tho Legislature in reference to the
subject.
Several grounds were alleged for
this contention, among them that by
nm act of 1879 authorizing the sale
Of the property. the only contractual
obligation transmitted to the pur-
chaser was to keep the dock supplied
with water. Also. that the original
charter OF the Richmond Dock con,-
pany. which required the owners TO
keep the property forever opened to
the public use as a highway upon
payment OF tolls applied not to the
dock. which was regarded by Mr..
Hunton as a basin. but to the canal.
These arguments were answered by
Colonel George Wayne Anderson for
the city and by Judge Beverly T.
Crump for the petitioning business
men, apparently TO the satisfaction of
the commission.
