Gated today that the commission may

suit may affect the nature of the rate

The Supreme Court is not consid-
ering at this time the merits of the
valuation case, but only the question
of whether 1t has Jurisdiction over
the matter at all.

it probably will mean that the COM
mission will have to revalue the pow

down by the Court of Appeals in its
decision in favor of the company.

50 100000 which has been impounded
by the power company since 1917. in
the event the Supreme Court decides
1t has no jurisdiction.
Thinks Fund May Remain Intact.
The opinion was expressed by one
lawyer at the District building that
the impounded fund might remain in
tact pending the revaluation.
This fund represents the difference
between the 10-cent electric light
rate which the company has con-
tinued to collect since the court pro-
ceedings began and the scent rate
which the company was allowed to
keep under the ruling of the COM
mission.
