‘Makes a at atte att mst tt, THE WEATHER Continued Cold TH YEAR AUTHORITY OF | COURT DEBATED IN WATER CASE Court Takes Under Advise- ment Attack Made by City Taxpayers COMMISSION NOT THERE! io Attempt to~ Defend Rate Increases Which Are . Attacked Upon the issue of jurisdiction, the Bismarck Water Supply company, .in supreme court Friday moved to dis-j miss the suit brought by Paul C. Rem- ington, et al. as water’ consumers, against the Bismarck Water Supply company, to restrain the putting into effect the sixty per cent, increase ‘re- cently granted the company by the board of railroad commissioners, The court took the motion under consider- ation and an’ early, decision on ‘this point is expected. W. D. Mitchell, St: Paul and Andrew Miller of Miller, Zuger & Tillotson, ap- peared for the water company and rey Lawrence, C. L. Young and H. F. O'Hare, appeared for the group of water consumers. Mr. Mitchell made the major argu- ment for the public utility and Mr. Young for the citizens of Bismarck | who have joined in this action. » State Not Represented Although certain members of the railroad commission are joined as par- ties to this action, no appearance by attorney or personally was made by them. ant Attorney General Cox, who was present in court, stated that no request had been made for that office to represent the commis sion whose authority to act is a mater-| ial issue in the pending case. Lemke Present William Lemke, attorney general elect, and in many matters special at-| torney for Gov. Frazier, appeared in court toward the close of the argu- ment but did not participate in the proceedings. Upon opening the case Chief Justice Christianson ‘inquired if the state was represented. He intimated that it was material that such representation \be made as a department of state govern. ment was involved in the proceedin, Commission in Washington Members of the commission are in Washington gnd evidently no attempt! was made to make any defense against! the attack upbn its authority made in the complaint of the citizens bringing the action. y Attorneys for. Bismarck Water Sup- ply company questioned the jurisdic- tion of the court on the ground that the case had been removed to the fed- eral court automatically and also that the public utility statute expressly provided that appeals: must first be passed upon by the district court and that the procedure to,invoke the orig- inal jurisdiction of the supreme court was irregular. Sufficient Precedent Mr. Young in his argument contend- ed that there was sufficient precedent for invoking original jurisdiction in this instance because the board of railroad commissioners, he asserted, | had exceeded their authority in raising the rates when no petition or applica- tion to raise the rates had been pre- sented to the commission. He cited the case of the increase in railroad rates ‘by the commission which the, court had recently overruled at the behest of Mr. Lemke. Constitutionality Unquestioned = | No attempt was made to raise the! igsue of constitutionality. That feat- ure of the petition to the court by the group of citizens was not argued! orally or in the brief and evidently is| the intention of the litigants to drop the contention of this litigation at least. | Mr. Young cited instances which in| his judgment the board of railroad} commissioners had exceeded their au-; thority, and had granted rate increases} without due Process of law. iu The entire’ ¢ase hinges now on whether the supreme court can as-) sume original jurisdiction if a show-! ing is made that the board of raliroad | commissioners exceeded authority in) granting a sixty per cent. increase inj} water rates upon an application from) the city of Bismarck to reduce the ex-) isting rates and provide additional service. | > Robinson’s Attitude j Justice Robinson from the bench said that in his estimation the court had jurisdiction and that the whole nub of the case was whether the rai road commission’s water rate increas was valid or invalid. i No intimation of how the rest of the court stood was made from the bench. The matter was taken under advise- ment and option given to litigants to argue the case on its merits later) should the court deny the motion to dismiss and assume jurisdiction. / | “Cocktail Bar” | Latest i In Automobile Device | Paris,’ Nov. 13.— Complete with “cocktail bar,” the largest ~touring motor car in the world is now in Paris. says the Daily Mail. : i Tt was built for a Belgian million-| aire to take a party game shooting inj} Africa, and is now owned by a former | naval officer, Who is to use it for battlefield tourists.

F. O’Hare and C. L. Young Would Delay Consideration Until After Appeal CHARGE BAD FAITH Assert Water Company Not City Has Practiced Delay Since Controversy Started iT. F. O'Hare and C. L. Young, in a letter written today to the board of city commissioners and published elsewhere in these columns as aif ad- vertisement by the y of Bismarck, recommended the ection of the of- {fer of the Bismarc Water Supply company to arbitrate under the terms Hof the franchise. Following the offers to sell the water plant to the city through ar- bitration, the Bismarck Water Sup- ply company through its attorneys, Miller Zuger & Tillotson, made the of formally by letter. This letter was referred to the city’s attorneys and the answer published today will come before the city commissioners Monday evening when it is expected ulso that petitions will be presented trom citizens asking for arbitration rather than continued litigation. ‘The letter from the city’s attorneys |follows in part: | “You have referred to us for rec- jommendation a letter from the at- torneys for the Bismarck Water Sup- ply company, which was published {several times as an advertisement be- fore it was transmitted to you, sug- gesting a sale of the company's prop- erty to the city at a price to be de- termined by arbitration. The amend- ed franchise under which the com- pany now operates provides for pur- chase by the city, if it so elects, on the 26th day of May, 1935, the price to be fixed by arbitration. The com- pany indicates readiness to sell now on these terms, and urges arbitration to stop litigation. ! “Whose conduct compelled this liti- |sation? The franchise of the company requires it to furnish: an adequate pply of pure water. The consumers for years have been furnished dirty, and often impure, water. Their fire protection has been and is inadequate Even the railroad commissioners have istained these contentions. The rates arged were more than three times e rates paid by Purgo consumers. Orders. of the city commission to | make extensions were persistently ig- ' ed. In spite of constant protest 'the company refused to furnish re- lief in any respect. Complaint was finally made to the railroad commis- sioners and an investigation ordered. “Why should such an investigation have cost the water company $23,- { 000.90 to $30,000,002 The company im- rted a large staff of engineers, most re here for weeks, some for four or five months, and the chief jengineer for seven months. Our city engineer was prepared to submit his luation within thirty days after he started work, and only on account of ithe large staff employed by the com- ;pany and its elaborate preparation was our engineer required to make his valuation much more detailed than | otherwise would have been necessar jand for the same reason the city | forced to employ additional engineers. The hearing should have been com- pleted in four days. By reason ot the company’s deliberate purpose to mislead the commissioners and the people, and its pettifogging tacti it was prolonged to thirty-five days. There was no hurry then. Hence this cxtraordinary cost. If the company had been content with a fair presen- tation of its case, $2,000.00 would ‘have been ample for its expense. But zn unreasonable high value had to be fixed, whatever the outlay. Now after months two of the railroad com- ners have given to the water j company an exc ve valuation whicn ‘reflects upon the commissioners ani lestroys confidence in public regula- jof whom w ‘sion. Litigation did not seem ‘use- senseless or expensive’ until ch valuation was made. “Why was aribtration not proposed at the beginning. If it was ‘fair’ to | arbitrate now, it would have been ‘fair’ {to arbitrate then. But the ‘phycholo- necessary to wait until the railroad | commissioners could be induced in isregard of the evidence of the city and of the commissioners’ own en- | gineers to place a fictitious value of | $446,000 upon a plant which the com- | pany in a suit brought in 1912 to can- lcel taxes contended was actually worth only $85,000. This done, pres- o, the company thought of economy nd peace. | “An appeal has been taken from the order of these commisisoners. We | believe our cause to be meritorious. The company’s attorneys are anxi- ous to arbitrate before the appeal is jldetermined. They are in a hurry |now. The reason is obvious. From ‘now on they must deal with the courts. ‘There is danger from the company’s | point of view that the courts will |revise the valuation and deal justly | with all concerned, including the pub- [idies* | i !
