they had sold it to themselves for the higher figure.
 Admits Not Know
 Declaring that is is not customary to challenge deed on an assump- tion, Faulkner asked Stuart on what he based his statement that the same properties were involved in both transactions; that there is nothing in the deed to show exactly what property was transferred Pinned down, Stuart finally admit ter no knowledge that Corbus and Malony did not add to the proper ties in the time between the two transfers, the first of which was made in May, 1906, the second in August of that year.
 Following Hollands testimony which was concerned mainly with why the light company has follow ed different procedures in it's ac- counting than those Stuart advo- cates, Faulkner concluded the pre- sentation for the company by call- ing Homer Nordling, Eelectrical Engineer for the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company. Nordling only substantiated that the AEL&P has, at times, pulled peak load from the A-J Generators of 5000 kilOWatts.
 Letters Introduced
 The AEL&P case was then closed by introduction of additional ex- hibits, including several letters from local firms and prominent indivi- duals commenting the service furn- ished them by the company and the equitable rates charged for it.. lauding the service were letters from the Juneau Cold Storage and the Juneau Lumber Mills, signed respectively by Wallis s. George and Roy Rutherford. Both said the dependability of AEL&P service had been of out

standing value to their firms.
 Other testimonial letters were from three light company competi tors-J. w. Mckinley, w. P. John son and Charles Waynor-and from E. E. Ninnis of the Juneau Moto1 Co, J. $. McKinnon of the Alaska Laundry, Allen Shattuck and Ken yon Mclean.
 Mayor Ernest Parsons received reading of the letters with com ment that they have nothing tc do with rates. Faulkner rejoined that service rendered should be considered in rate fixing.
 Income Tar 46 Percent
 Final figures given by Holland was that the Income Tax paid by the company on it's 1945 operations was 59,694O6; 46.85 percent of its net income. Previously Holland had said that the 1914 Income Tax was 437 percent of the net income for that years when the return on the investment figured l16 percent in- cluding $7,71199 from merchandis- ing and more than $8,0o0 in in- terest on investments.
 Faulkner queried Holland on the practical aspects of an accounting system-like the government's-th would show all the various break downs demanded by Stuart. Reply was that the much larger staff needed would run operating costs out of bounds.
 Holland testified that the com pany will lose considerable reven- ues this year from shutdown of such government projects as the Support and the fact that the Lum- Der Mills is again set to supply it's own juice, but agreed with Stuart that revenues for the first two months of this year show an in- crease of one percent over the sim liar 1945 period.
 wages G0tng Up
 In reply to Faulkner, Holland added, however, that there's no getting away from it." 1946 operat ing costs will be considerably in- creased. He cited approximately $17,000 in wage increases already in effect and negotiations for addi- tional increases pending on the out come of this rate hearing
 The proposed union contract and wage scale were introduced by the company.
 It was stated last night that the next session, Friday evening at 8 o'clock, will hear the last of the testimony-leaving only the argu- ments by counsel to follow, pro- bably Monday evening. Then the Council will sit down to set tke rates.
