cided the Court of Customs Appeals

CD, SUES
To HOLD Up
RATE GUT
Asks Temporary Restraining
Order-Sees Ruin If Utilities
Boards Decision Stands

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, through At
torney Alexander Britton, today
asked Justice A. A. Hoehling to
issue a temporary restraining order
preventing the Public Utilities Com
missions recent rate reductions and
fair value figures.
Attorney Britton said that unless
the courts intervene the Public
Utilities Commission will continue
to confiscate the property of the
company without due process OF
law.
He argued that unless an i'm
pounding fund is created following
issuance of restraining order, the
company will never be able to re-
cover should it finally win the
point
After Attorney Britton had out
lined the telephone company's posi-
ton, Justice Hoehling ordered a
recess and said he would hear Cor
poration Counsel Stephens present
the side OF the Utilities Commission
this afternoon.
The telephone company today in
troduced number of affidavits
signed by prominent Washington
business and professional men sup
porting it's claim to a fair value of
approximately $25, 900, 900 as op-
posed to the approximate 5000, 900
value recently set by the utilities
commission.
Clarence Dodge. veteran realtor,
told the court in his affidavit that
the land value of the telephone
company's property is $1,O6O,S7S
whereas the utilities commission
only gave it a value of $675.0O0.
Samuel j. Prescott, local builder,
in his affidavit, advises the court
that, in his opinion, the company
building are worth $2,954,S86, as
opposed to $2,6OO,5S4 valued by the
commission.
