And for further req son that the court thus adds this large amount for going concern value when a liberal allowance of IS per cent overhead has been made to cover going value. In making such allowance of s20o. 900, the court will, therefore,, be allowing both said $200.000 for going concern value and the IS per cent overhead for go- iqg value"
 The state insisted in paragraph 13 that the court erred in fixing the rate of return on the investment at per cent. The court erred in it's final decree in ordering and decree ing that plaintiff is entitled In the future to earn net profit of 8 per cent per annum upon the sum of 07,520.6S," said the application. "We, respectfully submit that the fixing of said rate of return for the future in behalf of plaintiff is legislative and not a judicial func- ton and that it is not within the issue of this cause and is outside of the Jurisdiction of this court"
