NJ. E. Cooley, dean of the Engineer
ing School of the University or Mlcnl-
gan, and a pioneer in valuation work.
testifying before the public utilities
commission today in the case OF the
Capital Traction Company, expressed
the opinion that expenses incurred oy

The company has submitted an actual
cost item of S451.52S for this work. APP

avenue that is within the District OF
Columbia. Its reproduction cost es-
innate for the improvements is Sb93,e3l-

tracks We're laid. The items, therefore.
We're not included in the agreement
rea ched recently between the company
and the commission as to the cost of
reproduction of the physical property
of the company. They are now being
presented in conjunction with land
values, intalgibles and other values as
separate claims for which the company
seeks allowance in its reproduction cost
estimates.
The testimony of Mr. Cooley, who
ranks among the foremost valuation
experts of the country. proved to be
one of the most interesting features
of the entire hearing, which has been
in progress since Monday. He testi-
fed to having taken part in lis valua-
ton Investigations of properties total
ing considerably more than a billion
dollars in value. Ninety-seven per
cent of these Investigations, he stated,
We're made for public service corpo-
rations and the remainder for private
corporations.
Attorney G. Thomas Dunlop. who ex-
amined Mr.. Cooley for the company.
brought out his opinion as to the Con-
necticut avenue Improvements through
series of Hypothetical questions.
These were with respect to what treat
ment should be made of costs srs-
tanned by a company in opening and
grading to its fun width a street
which subsequently becomes high

The witness declared that there was
no question but that the cost of the
property would be a proper capital
charge. Answering A question de-
signed to bring out his general views
as to the proper method of arriving
at reproduction cost. Mr.. Cooley said
that he would require the full history
of every company and an inventory
showing all existing items as well as
items that have disappeared in order
to consider the conditions under which
the actual work was done. and that
prices might be applied to the inven-
tory in accordance with those condi-
tions.
