HOW GAS PLANTS
ARE ESTIMATED

Fixing values on going concerns
and the cost of duplicating gas plants
was the testimony given by Alfred
f. Forstall, expert of the Board IF
Public Utility Commissioners. who
had made an examination of the
Public Service Gas COMPANY hold
ings In Its Paterson and Passaic dis
tricts. The evidence was given at a
continued hearing before the COM
mission on the protest against the
rates of the company by consumers
In that district.
AS to going concerns. Mr.. Forstall
stated that purchasers would pay
more for going concerns than the
actual cost of erecting a plant. His
| definition of a going concern was
that 1t represented the value of a
plan above the physical cost of con-
struction.
1t vas a difficult task, he said, to
ascertain the actual value of each
customer in a going concern, but In
some instances this value had been
| placed at from S. to SO a year. This
represents a value above what 1t
costs to furnish a consumer gas and
what is received in return
Thomas Mcmahon. a real estate
man in Passaic. testified as to the
value he had placed upon the COM
pany's plant at Passaic. In Chestnut
street he valued the lot at So. $50 and
| the buildings at 6 300: the Columbia
avenue lot at $4,000 and the buildings
$35, 900, and a lot in Main avenue
$1,100.
Cross-examined by E. Amber Arm
strong, of counsel for the Public Serv-
ice, Mr.. Mcmahon gave figures as to
how he arrived at the valuations, but
admitted he had v erected any
buildings or had any knowledge of
the value of the machinery installed
in the buildings of the company at
Passaic.
