we regard as of little or no value.
The best criterion as this plants effi-
cheney can be ascertained by q COM
parison of the net results from the
operation of this plant and the munich
pal plant. Both these plants are To-
Gated practically in the same place
and engaged in serving practically the
same territory, and comparison be-
tween the two as to efficiency ought
to be of much more weight than the
mere declaration of an employe of
either plant who might testify that no
complaints were registered as to the
service rendered. OF course, we could
hardly expect the superintendent of
this plant to give evidence detrimen-
tai to his own administration and de-
rogatory to the plants value. We are
unable, therefore to see anything what
ever in such testimony as this which
in any way even tends to establish an
item Of value over and above the fair
value of the physical parts of the
plant.

plant ought not be required to pay
anything on account of the past uses
