Delving much deeper into Sangsters
report than that made for the com

physical property. Vice President Ham
and Attorneys S. r. Bowen and John
S. Barbour kept the valuation expert
under a rigid fire of questioning five
days last week and probably will re-

million dollars. This method of elm
tacks by the company's lawyers, and
motions were made to have the elm
mated amounts restore dwhen Sangster
stated that he was not prepared to
furnish an iteniZed list of them.
Method Attacked as Unfair.
After attacking the Sangster method
rs being unfair and not in accordance
with acts of Congress-, attorneys for the
company attempted to show that the
experts report not even was consistent
with the theory under which it was
prepared, as 1t failed to give credit for
certain physical property now in ex-
istence. In making this point they re-
ferred to items of special work. or

Brightwood and Columbia lines which
are accounted for in the Pillsbury re-
port, but omitted from the Sangster re-
port. These items represent a cost of
thousands of dollars

tion OF eliminations was one which the

his report contained no allowance for

should take into consideration.
