While the pres- ent valuation is being made on the so- called “reproduction theory,” contended for by the company in its appeal, there are several other legal bones of con- tention to be fought out. One of the most interesting of these relates to the attitude of the commis- sion in declining to include a sum for the value of Analostan Island, in the Potomac, bought by the company years ago with the expectation that the de- velopment of the Rock Creek-Potomac parkway would compel them to remove some of their structures from the resent West Station. The commission eld out this value on the ground that the island was not “used and useful” in the public service.
