and the other to surplus--we readily
see that this plant has yielded an aver
age net increase Of 1898 per cent for
each of the twenty-eight years of it's
existence, and leaving the surplus of
$106 6,257.19. Some might call this a
lemon, but 1t seems to us to be a
luscious melon, full of water, and

this income? The inhabitants of the

Mr.. Bond next shows that the total
amount actually invested in common
stock originally, exclusive of the swell
ing of the same from surpluses, was
1888 3,250, and then asserts that the
plant has earned net each year on an
average since the date of it's incorpo-
ration more than 1909 per cent He
then says that during the twenty-eight
years of the plants operation the an
nual net return upon the actual cash
invested and the common stock
amounts to II per cent
Then Mr.. Bond says: This is a
brief, and, we believe, an accurate
history of this plant as shown by it's
books, apd this basis is used in find
ing present value for rate making
purposes. This value is fairly, hon
estly and justly the sum of $667 ,678,
which includes $4,000 for material and
supplies and $4,000 for working cap
ital.

when the improvements and better
ments now under contract are fully
completed, and including. every ele-
men. that should She regarded In this
case for rate making purposes has an
actual fair value of not more than
$667,678."
Mr.. Bond next presents the argu-
ment that the cost of building up
business should not be figured in by
the commission as part of the pres
ent valuation for rate making pur-
poses. asserting that this cost has
been paid by the consumers hereto
fore in excessive rates, and should be
regarded as amortized and not capital
lied, and made the basis of increased
future earnings. He says to do this
would be unjust, and perpetrate posi-
tive wrong upon the public.

Inmates made by four hydraulic en-
