CASES NOT SETTLED

Several cases were heard last Tues
day and Wednesday before the public
utilities commission Of the state Of
Colorado, sitting at Glenwood Springs
All members of the commission were
present, including Grant E. Halderman,
chairman; A. P. Anderson and F. +,
LAnnon, with their official reporter,
Henry A. Luther.
Perhaps the most important case to
be heard, 30 far as our people are con-
cerned, was that of Chas. W. Taylor,
D. C. weyand and P. J. Kirwan vs. The
City Of Of Glenwood Springs and the
Cardiff Light l. Power Company.
J. W. Boil of this city appeared for
the petitioners, A. L. Beardsley for
Glenwood Springs, and Walter NJ.
Campbell of Hughes & Dorsey, appear
ed in defense Of the Cardiff Light 4
Power Company.
This is a case wherein the petitioners
ask the commission to determine the
Necessary repairs, new equipment, iu-
stallation, ETC., to be placed in the wa
ter system between Glenwood and Car
diff, to place it in safe and proper
condition, and to FIX . time certain
when the line may be discontinued,
upon failure Of the respondent power
line TO comply with the order of the
commission.
The petitioners have practically the
same sort Of case pending in the dis
triet court, exespt that in that case
they AK fer damages to property by
rrsEan n the settling Of their resi-.
iences asa result of . leakage II the
Cardiff watsr NAN which passes near
their property.
The case was heard by the commits.
sion ON Tuesday and was tsken under
advisement, and it is believed that o
decision will be rendered in the very
near future.
Another case in which Glenwood is
interested is that brought by the Glen.
