which had been that Turkey must

the conference would end, was forced
by France. The French sent the

A surprise move by France. which

for Turkeys reply need not be con-

were concerned. gave the Ottoman
delegate a loophole whereby he
avoided a fiat answer to the Euro
pean ncgotiators.
This fresh divergence OF views be-
tween France and Great Britain fol-
lowing the break over Preparations
and Ruhr occupation, heartened the
Turks and they asked that commis-

again next week. Meantime, Ismet

Russians as well were jubilant al

PROTEST MADE
TO DECISION
IN WATER CASE
Utility Company Files Objec.
tiOns with Railroad
Commission

Protest against the decision of the
railroad commission in the Bismarck
Water Company case was filed before
! the commission late yesterday by the
utility company.
The protest is based on the grounds
including:
That the valuation lacks the spcci-
fications and detail required by law
as to unit basis of such valuation
including the unit basis as to the
labor and material entering into pro.
testant's plant and labor and materi-
al costs.
That $361,109 determined by the
board is far less than the true depre.
ciated value of protestant's water
plant. including overhead expense,
and that the undepreciated value is
in fact s6O3,113.
That s24O,649 determined by the
board is far less than the true de-
preciated value upon any theory of
depreciation, assuming that any de-
probation whatsoever should be all
owed.
That the valuation given to each
of the general classes of property is
too low.
That the board erred in determin-
ing the valuation of the plant in fail
ing to give controlling consideration
or weight to the factor of cost Of
reproduction new at the time of the
determination.
That the board erred in giving
controlling weight to the historical
cost basis.
That the board erred in giving
weight to what the board referred to
as the financial history" of the util-
ity.
That the board erred in giving
consideration to what it refers to as
capitalization of excessive earn
ings."
That depreciation allowed was not
as much as the. board allowed, that
it erred in giving weight to evidence
as to alleged ineficiency of the plant
which was not true, that the boards s
allowance for overhead expenses in
construction was inadequate, that the
$4,000 working capital allowed should
be at least $1,000, that the board err
ed rim ordering the company to in
stall certain impl ovements within
nine months for the reason that the
improvements are unnecessary "and
for the further reason that the finan-
cial condition of the protestant. COM
pany makes it impossible at the I
present time for it to- furnish or |
procure funds for said extensive bet. |
