parison to the number of stations a
square mile served in other portions
OF their territory. The answer denies
that the company's. rates charged
within the state of Vermont are the
lowest rates charged by it through
out the territory in which il operates.
The answer alleges that the apprais-'
al of its property as furnished by the
company was correct in amounts bnt

largely inflated in nearly every in
stance. In regard to the assessment
furnished the company as having
come from the state tax commission

the amount OF property included a
wholly without the state OF Vermont,
and 1t was not divided to show what
part was used in exchange and what
part in toll business.
The answer alleges that tho com
pany's statement Of receipts, dis.
J bursements, and expenses combined
| many items which we're excessive
and unwarranted and that the state
ment OF the book cost or value of the
! plant were also excessive and inhat-
ed The answcr states further that
the commission did not go to Boston
to examine the company's books and
vouchers at the cOmpany's request be

The defendants answer in the cRse

purchase of rock and all that, mnst
refer you to the contractor.
According to Mr.. Deming there is
"a possibility Of iiligation over the To-
cal assets of the Breakwater Com
pany of Philadelphia. now defunct,
The Lakes, Coast and Contracting
Company, successors, claim the Hilo
plant, but there are certain liens on
it, that may have to be settled in
court
The best method of continuing
work on the Hilo breakwater is D
matter on which local engineers diff
fer. Charles F. Wood, while repre-.
senting the BreakWater Company of
Philadelphia, opened a quarry or his
own, close to the site. and provided
water transportation for the rock,
building two 600-ton barges, fitted
with derricks. and tow boat His
plan was to place the selected cap
and slope rock from the water. but
there is doubt as to the practicabillty
of this method, on account Of the
swell. It Is therefore doubtful wheth.
er the new contractor will be able TO
make much use OF the old equipment.
The Kapoho quarry Is controlled by
the Lord.YouRg Engineering Co., and
to take rock from II Marshall will
have to enter into some agreement
which has not been made public. That
Marshall. the Lord-Y Young Co, and the
Hilo Railroad Co all have some in.

impression. Tl1e American Surety-Go.

pletion of the contract. and indica.
tons are that rock viii soon move
