an auxiliary plant, the establishment of which is about $50,O00. It might be somewhat more than that and it might be less. Owing to the difficult ties plaintiff has had for twenty years with his water power, he has been put | to great expense at various times for repairs and replacements. A few years ago a heavy flood practically destroy ed his pipe line and the overflow of water ran thru his power house leav- | ing a heavy deposit of sand and grav- el there, and inflicted other damage. This caused heavy loss to plaintiff or the company his predecessor, of which he was the head and manager, and this loss and other losses are charged by him in his capital invest, ment.
 I see no advantage in attempting to figure all items of operating loss and unnecessary investments which I think should be deducted from plain tiff's estimate of his capital invest ment. After listening to the testi- mony of the other electrical experts who testified in the case, and consid- ering it carefully, together with plain tiff's own estimate, I am satisfied that the part of plaintiffs investment which is useful for public service in the Town of Seward is about half of the amount that he claims. I do not ques- tion that he expended the money as his figures show, but great deal of it was unnecessary and great deal more of it I think the result of i'm prudent investment.
 The law governing returns to pub lie utilities is not fully settled altho some recent cases of the Supreme Court have brought considerable or der out of chaos, particularly the Geor- gia Power Company case and the Blue field case. The Supreme Court also in the main adheres to the rule laid
 
 It is true that there was dissent in the court in these late decisions. Per- sonally have strong inclination to fa- vor the rule laid down by Mr. Justice Brandeis, that the basis of return should be the amount of prudent in- vestment. Justice Brandeis criticised the rule in Snyth vs. Ames laid down by Justice Harlan. I am unable to see much difference between the de- tailed statement of Justice Harlan of the factors which should enter into the basis for rate fixing and the rule of prudent investment advocated by Justice Brandeis. It seems to me that they amount to the same thing and a public utility is entitled to a fair return upon money that he has judi ciously invested for the public service and which he is still using. He should not be charged with every loss caused even by mistaken judgment if his in- vestment is one that prudent men might be expected to make, but the public should not be expected to pay returns upon investments for mere ex- pertinent nor investments which are partly made for private use.
 In this case I am satisfied that more careful consideration of the nat ural obstacles to be contended with, and the probable future of the town would have entailed an investment of not more than half the amount that plaintiff has put into his business.

towns when it's population was at it's
 maximum it is plain that no such plant would be necessary now and it
 would be unreasonable to expect the handful of people remaining to pay in- terest on an investment made for the service of five times the pepuluation. It is admitted that the town of Sew ard only few years ago had pop ulation nearly if not quite double the

Golfer FILES ON DAM SITE.

President Fred. T. Golfer of
the Arizona high line reclama.
ton association has filed in be-
half OF the State of Arizona, on
the rights of the Bridge canyon
irrigation diversion dam site on
the upper Colorado river just
below the Grand Canyon. For
all practical PURPOSES. according
to the letter. President Golfer
wrote to State Land and Water
Commissioner Vernon l. Vaughn
with the instrument of filing, the
Bridge canyon irrigation diver
sion dam site is the same as the
Spencer canyon irrigation diver.
sion dam site, on the rights of
which Golfer filed for the State
of Arizona in 1922. These two
dam sites are only six miles
apart.
Engineer E. G. LaRue, chief
of the United States Geogra
phical Survey, believes that the
Bridge canyon dam site is pre-
ferable, while Engineer George
w. Sturtevant, who made the
original survey for che Arizona
highline reclamation association,
has stated that the Spencer can
yon site is ideal. 1t is President
Golfers idea to secure for Ari-
IONA the rights to both sites.
The Spencer dam site is at an
elevation of 1905 feet and the
Bridge canyon site at 1907 feet.
Either of these proposed diver.
sion dams would divert the wat.
or, according to the plans of the
Arizona highline reclamation as
ISOLATION, from Glen canyon
storage reservoir which is stu.
ated just above the Grand can.
yon at an elevation of 3115 feet,
and which will have a capacity
of 50, GOO, 900 acre feet.
In his report LaRue recon.
mended the use of the Bridge
canyon site for an irrigation
diversion dam-included in the
Arizona highline reclamation as
sociation plan--saying that it
would enable Los Angeles to
secure water by gravity from the
Colorado river. The Los Ange.
les city authorities had previous.
~ planned to secure Colorado
river water according to plans
of the Mulholland survey, which
contemplates the building of
dam in Boulder canyon at an
elevation of only 700 feet and
then pumping water 1903 feet at
cost of several million dollars
year.
California authorities have be-.
come convinced that by using
the Bridge canyon irrigation
diversion dam and the Arizona
highline reclamation association
plans that California can irrigate
one million acres more than by
using the Boulder canyon dam,
which is good for power pur.
poses but of practically no ben.
eft for irrigation purposes.
