are contained in a 162-page brief fled
with the public service commission to-
day by Taylor e. Groninger. Indian
| apohs corporation council, and asso-
ciate counsel in the water case.
For the most part the brief reeites
| in detail the contention Of Groninger
and his associates throughout the
| hearing. 1t gives hundreds Of legal
| citations.
The Brief goes back to an order OF
the public service commission in 1917,
setting the value of the coTnpany's
property at mot less than 50, 500, 600. ="
The attorneys take these figures and
build up a present valuation Of SILL
| 121 4S9. A.
The brief strikes at the reprodue-
ton cost theory Of valuation and de-
tends the prudent investment theory
On this point the city and the water
company differ.
The brief takes up the subject NJ
structural overheads. declaring they
should not be allowed unless such
charges actually exist. On the sub.
ject of going value. the brief says,
''going value should not be allowed
except on proof Of its existence" It
holds the amount OF gong vafue is not
arbitrary, but should depend on the
facts in the case
A section of the brief contends the
canal was not designed or constructed
for water works purposes and sit is
unjust and unfair TO the public to say
that the value of the canal for rate
purposes is to be measured by the re
production new cost Of il, particu-
larly the lower portion Of IL.
