OFALLON DU AGANUPTOL . .5 Seven Attorneys Represent- ing Roads of Nation Argue Valuation Points. bt By the Associated Press. The long-controversied St. Louis and O'Fallon case, under which the Inter- state Commerce Commission is attempt- to eatablish a lent for the val- Etlnn of raflroads to recapture excess iricome, was back today before the com- mission for argument. Seven attorneys representing rail- roads of the entire country had been given permission;by the commission to appear in the proceedings which brought rfl.tll nine-mile coal road into na- tional prominence as the commission sought to take from it $226,880 under the transportation act setting aside in- come in excess of 6 per cent for aid of unprosperous roads Value Formerly Fixed. Once before the commission had fixed & valuation of $987.874 upon the O'Fal- lon, but the Supreme Court upheld the cententian of the earrier that cost of re- | :oducum\ of the property now should considered and not the 1914 valua- tion. As a result of this decision, the commission was compelied %0 change its method of procedure and with the O'Fallon still the test case, expects in the present to determine the extent to which court’s order must be considered. If its valuation of the small road is roads, commission will then be in a posi- tion to continue its valuation of all roads for the purpose of reclaiming excess in- come and adjusting rates. Special Counsel Reealled. To interpret the court's order, the| commission had recalled its special counsel retained-for the Supreme. Court roceedings, Walter Fisher, to take part s the argument. The other Six. Stior. ing were Fred E. Benton of & of Railroad and Utility Commissioners, Donald Rich- berg of the national conference on val- ul"}nn of American railroads, Fred H. Wood, D. N. Kirby and R. H. Kelly, rep- reseniting the O'Fallon interests, and Leslie Craven of the President's confer~ ence committee on valuation.
