QUIZ EXPERTS ON
DISCREPANCIES IN
WATER VALUATION
Counsel for City Attempt TO
Weaken Testimony of
Utility Engineers,

Vigorous attempts to expose wide
discrepancies in figures of two expert
utility engineers who testified for the
Indianapolis Water Company We're
made by Clair McTurnan. counsel for
the city, at the hearing today of the
company's petition for an Injunction
against the public service commits
sion in Federal Court.
The company asks the commissica
be restrained from interfering with
rates established by the company, that
it be restrained from enforcing IT'S
rate order of last November and that
the valuation of the company for rate
making purposes be set at not less
than $1S,600.0 900.
The commission had valued it at
Sl5,26O, 400. Taylor Groninger, city
corporation counsel, co-defendant
with the commission, seeks to show
the valuation should not exceed
$12, ,000, 600
Differences Cited
McTurnan in cross-examining Cecil
F. Elmes, Chicago engineer, pointed
out differences of from 80 to 100 per
cent between appraisal items of pipe
laying and equipment in Elmes' fig
ures and those of William ]. Hagenah.
Chicago engineer who testified Tues
day.
In questioning Elmes on matter of
rehabilitation costs Taylor Groninger,
city corporation counsel, was cut
short by Judge Ferdinand Geiger,
hearing the action
Judge Geiger said: II believe such
an item as 2 per cent of the alleged
valuation of SIS, 900. 900 is a refine
ment to be discussed before SONS
academy, but Wen not get any place
this way
McTurnan then opened his attack
on alleged discrepancies. Elmes said
they might have occurred because
different appraisement set-up methods
were used.
Competency Attacked
McTurnan's questions evidently
were asked in an attempt to weaken
the competency of the testimony OF
the two experts.
Cecil F. Elmes, Chicago, appraisal
engineer, resumed the stand today
after he had set forth valuations Tues
day on fixed physical property. not in
