Counsel in Wrangle Over City Contract—What Former Commission Said. By Sophie Irene Loeb. Postponed again, the hearing of the Citizens of the Thirtieth Ward, Brook- lyn, in their fight for an eighty-cent gas rate. sol of the company, Jeas I was unable to attend on acce cases he Was conducting in other cition, The Public Service Roard room was crowded yesterday with taxpayers from Brooklyn, among whom were many women. They came at 2 o'clock, but the mombers of the commission were attending the opening of the new subway and did not meet until 3 o'clock. Other matters were heard and it was 4.80 before the Kings Coun- ty Gas oase was called. As all the peopie who had come wished to be heard, President McCall deferred the hearing until to-morrow at 11 o'clock, Counsel for the company said he was ready for the arguments, but wanted to hear what the others had to way first. Meantime, however, he asked to have a few items read into the record, and got into a wrangle with O. C, Bempie, attorney for the commission, over two important fac- tors. COUNSEL IN A WRANGLE OVER CITY CONTRACT. One of these is the valuable con- tract the company has held with the city for twenty-five years, It expires mext year, Under this contract the city has paid $1.26 for lighting by this company, while paying 75 cents in other parts of Greater New York. The company capitalized this con- tract fof $2,112,000, and to pay divi- dends upon this capitalization of thelr city’s contract, the consumers former investigation by the Public this contract was segregated from the other val- uations and Mr. Ricks argued that it bad been added to the valuations. However, the finding of the former investigation as to this by the Com- mission was plainly with the people, ‘They stated: “The contention of the company as represented by the testimony of their witness in substance is, that the 4) profits from this contract for its re- maining life shall be capitalized, that .| the amount thus reached shall be added to the fair value of its prop- erty and that the rates shall be such as will provide a fair return thereon, “In other words, the city or the taxpayers must pay an exorbitant price for street lighting, and the general consumers must pay enough to yield an ample return (10 per cent. ie urged) upon the capitalized value of such abnor- mal profits, capitalized upon a If there is any tween these two the more the city p WT MAKES WATTLE DIFFER MOR WHAT YOU NBED—A WORLD © WaNt™ WILL GO UET IT, This VICTROLA is one of the remarkable Type XI instruments which have won deserved popularity.

The public lighting contract resembles other contracts between company And consumers. All the property, and presumably all are profitable. Those! could be capitalized if th and the more profital the higher must the rate to others be placed, “Conversely, if any one should not| be profitable the capitalized loss should be subtracted from the fair| value of the other “property” and the! rates lowered accordingly, It should | pany does not claim that the contract \twelf represents any investment or ‘that any deposit, fee, or payment was | required by the authorities. “The commission can find no reason in law or equity that would justify a capitalization of the company is entitled to earn return from the salo of gas to geenral conaw i sary, therefore, to consider the methods of determining its value.” tho company urged the commission to take into consideration {s the pres- ent status of this contract with the city, As stated in ‘The Bvening | World, Comminsioner Williamm of the | Department of Water Supply, Gas and | Electricity, nas withheld the pay- ments of bills of this and other com- | panies on the grounds that various violations had been found by his de- partment, that this corporation has not been supplying twenty-two candle powor nm required by law. CITIZENS’ ANSWER |8 READY, BUT DELAYED. Mr. Ricks held that according to the contract they were not to furnish more than twenty candle power, but that a later law has stipulated a twenty-two candle power for Greater New York. Whether this law is bind- ing on his company is now being de- termined t* Corporation Counsel. Therefore Mr, Hicks was anxious ‘) it the commission consider this possi- bility of their being compelled to fur- nish twenty-two candle power, which would cost more to produce. Vartous citizens wanted to point cut in answer to this that other compares furnish the required twenty- candle power charging but eighty cents for gas, and that this company's price to its ordinary consumers ‘s ninety-five cents. They also wanted to explain that this company receives for this city service $1.26 per 1,000 feet as against seventy-five cents in other parts of the elty. to-morrow. a FIGHTS SINKING FUNDS, Stimson Wants Serial Bonds as a} Substitute, | king to meet the cost of ts was introduced in Convention to-day by Chairman Stimson of the Finance Com- mittee, Under the pro be fasued only sed plan, bonds would for the exact amount of for immediate use, ‘ations would not be fe top: which they derive no benefit, pi ial’ ab oe HER ONE PROPOSAL, (From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) “Auntie, did you ever get a proposal? .
