building that the commission took
the position that the court should
proceed to adjust the valuation
placed on the power property along
the lines indicated by the District
Court OF Appeals. From what they
were able to learn of today's de-
cision. officials Of the commission
said it would have the effect of max
ing such an adjustment instead of
following the company's viewpoint
that the old valuation could be de-
clared null and void.
The principal change that will have
to be made in the commissions valu-
alton will be to increase the allow
ance for wartime prices as OF 1915
The Court of Appeals held that the
commission did not make proper al
lowance for those prices.
The decision today, 30 far as could
be learned. win not Immediately ef-
feet the rate Of 10 cents per kilowatt
hour paid by consumers. Users of
electricity have continued to pay 10
cents since the litigation began in
1917. but the company has only been
allowed to use approximately cents.
The difference has been set aside,
in accordance with a court order of
1917, and now amounts to s4.400.0
It was explained by an official of
the commission that the commission
based its Scent electric light rate in
1917 on its valua tion. If, as q result
of the revaluation. now to be made
in the District Supreme Court, 1t Is
determined that an increase should
be made in that valuation to take
care of the wartime prices, the cleo
tric light rate might have to be in
creased slightly above cents to give
the company reasonable return on
such increased valuation.
1t appeared practically certain to-
day that the impounded fund will
remain in its present status until the
valuation is finally adjusted. at which
time 1t will be determined how the
more than $4.000,000 is to be divided
between company and consumers.
