No. 64 A and in a workmanlike
manner. After the power compa-
ny filed the suit, he set forth in
his affidavit, the whole system
was inspected and found to be
safe and to constitute no nuisance
to the power company Or to any,
one else.
He declared the district con-
struction was superior to that of
the power company in Brawley
and accused the plaintiff company
of having a system offering a
greater hazard than anything the
district has erected.
M. j. Dowd, chief engineer and
general superintendent of the dis
trict told how he brought H. L.
Caldwell, superintendent of line
construction for the Les Angeles
bureau of power and light, to go
over the system as an additional
safeguard. He accused the power
company of failure to ask the rail-
way commission to inspect district
lines at Brawley when such a re-
course was open to them.
He declared the power company
suit was not brought in good
faith but only to embarraSS the
district.
A temporary restraining order,
according to Dowd, would create
a loss to the district of $400 a day
and create a hardship upon ap-
proximately $50 consumers, includ-
ing the city OF Brawley He prom
ised the districts cooperation in
any inspections desired by the
power company.
Harry Horton, chief counsel, de-
clared the district has on hand at
all times ample monies to meet
judgments which the plaintiff
might obtain. He concluded his
affidavit by pointing out that the
district is not insolvent.
