These, he acknowledged, were short-term loans that were all paid back. There were no actual additions made to the original capitalization of including dummy ¢raps. When the $100,00 — $40,000 in cash, $60,000 in fund is raised the revenue will revert to the Territorial Treasury. property and equipment. The out- standing shares remain the same as shown on the articles of incorpora- tion, 1,000 shares of $100 par value Dividends “Slim” Admitting to City Attorney How- ard D. Stabler that the company's books show yearly dividends paid since 1903, Malony said that, to his knowledge, no dividend was paid from the founding of the company in 1896 to that first payment in 1903 and that most of the early dividends were “slim pickings” which were met in large measure through the company’s not building up any “depreciation reserve” on its hold- ings. 'This, he inferred, was more or less general bookkeeping practice among small companies in pre-In- come Tax days. The company, he said, did not begin to take credit for depreciation until about 1913‘ about which time almost all of the original plant had to be replaced. Malony recounted that, back when the company began, there were only about £00 lights on the hookup and ey were on a flat rate. The only s to raise refunds to school one ever turned out was in his own |tricts by raising the home, where his father saw to'jt:0f teacher that the light did not burn day and night. | Stabler read down the years of | dividends paid by the AEL&P, be-| ginning with a meagre $3,000 ‘in 1903 but building up into very sub- | stantial amounts in recent years to compile a recorded total of! $1,386,500 for the first 49 years of | the AEL&P's life, through the year | 1844; the records covering only 43/ years, since 1802, Net profits, be- fore depreciation, shown for the same period, total $2,044,449.50. In answer, Malony pointed out that, prior to the Juneau boom, in 'the 'teens, Douglas was a very imuch bigger town than Juneau. This led Attorney Faulkner to com- !ment that since City Utilities En- |gineer Stuart, in compiling his ex- hibits against the company, had; |been careful to separate Juneau ‘cosv.s from those of the whole sys- tem, he should have been just as ready to apply his “multiplier” ito the profits to show only Juneau's contribution to them also. Following Mr. Malony's testimony, |the Saturday evening session called to enable the witness to return to |Scattle as early as possible, was ladjourned until 8 o'clock this eve- ning when it is expected that C. B. Holland, AEL&P cashier, will be the next witness. ' MORE DRUMSTICKS | LEFISTON, Ida., March 18.—G. W. Fitzsimmons’ hatchery has turh- ed out a four-legged chick.
