Washington, Aug. by a unani-

ance of $5OO,0O0,000 in currency to

McAdoo said:

rartment will help as far as it le-
ultimately may in New York or in
ny other part of the country where
it becomes apparent that assistance
is needed

c.. D. Company Is Held
To Be a Public Utility

ter system of the California Develop.
ment Company for compensation.
/ 3. The water sys'>"o of the Cal:sui
MIA Development Company and w. Fl
IIolabird, as receiver, are engaged ir
the business of selling water for com.
rensation directly to portions of the
public and indirectly to and for the
entire public of the Imperial valley
A. The California Development Com,
pany is not mutual company, but
on the contrary, is a corporation or
ganized for profit.
5. The water system of the Califor-
MIA Development Company and w. H.
Holabird, as receiver, have monop-
oily on the business of transmitting
water from the Colorado river (Which
is the only source of water of the
Imperial valley) for use for all pur-
poses in the Imperial valley.
With these facts in mind the COM
mission states in its decision that
there can be no question whatever
that the water system of the Califor-
ria Development company and w. H.
Holabird, as receiver, are respectively
public utility water system and pub
lie utility and are subject to the jur-
isdiction of the railroad commission,
unless it can be held that the con-
stitution and statutes of California
violate in this regard some provision
of the federal constitution. Relative
to this latter point the decision says:
"The supreme court of the United
States has definitely decided that if
the circumstances surrounding par
ticular business are such that the
public has a special interest therein
and that the general welfare demands
public regulation and supervision
thereof, the state has the right un-
der its police power to find and de-
clare the fact of the public interest
and thereafter to regulate and super
wise the business, entirely irrespective
of whether its owners have held them
selves out as being public utilities,
and without any dedication except
that they have engaged in that par
ticular business and without any COM
lpensation for any so-called taking,
there being here no taking in the
constitutional sense"
The Califoynia Development Com
pany and w. H. Holabird are given
twenty days in which to satisfy the
complaints filed with the commission
or to submit an answer thereto.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-08-01

Further details have been received
whereby the railroad commission hold,
that the water system of the Califor
MIA Development Company is pub
lie utility, and that w. H. Holabird
as receiver of the California Develop
ment Company, is also public util-
ity and subject to the jurisdiction. of
the railroad commission.
This case was brought before the
commission by the complaints of
Adolph Becker and Louis j. Ivey
against w. H. Holabird as receiver,
and by f. w. Weeks, president of the
board of trustees of the City of Holt
vile, Imperial county, against the
California Development Company and
w. II. Holabird. The water system
operated by the California Develop
ment Company supplies the water up
dependent for domestic and irrigation
purposes.
Inc dliCScu,
other tnlngs, that the development
company and the receiver were re-
fusing to deliver water to persons en-
titled thereto, claiming the right to de-
liver water or not, as they saw fit,
and were discriminating unjustly in
charges for water.
By agreement of all parties the
three cases were consolidated for
hearing on the question of the COM
missions jurisdiction. The develop
ment company, through its receiver,
held that it was not a public utility
subject to the jurisdiction of The COM
mission; that its water system had
never been "held out" as sesvinr the
public; that it had never been "dedi-
Gated to public use, and that consti-
tutional and statutory provisions of
the state applied to the system would
amount to a taking" Of property and
that such application would violate the
Fourteenth amendment OF the federal
Constitution.
In cverruling the contention of the
California Development Company that
il is not public utility, the commits
sion brought forth the following
facts:
/. The water system of the Califor-
MIA Development Company is operated
to facilitate the distribution and sale
Of water for power, irrigation, domes'
tic and other uses.
