The attempt of the Consolidated Gas Company to have the 80-Cent Gas Law, passed by the Legislature in 1906, annulled as egal and vold by a court order was argued before Judge Mayer in the United States District Court to-day. The argument was on a motion by District Attorney Swann to dismiss the bill of complaint. The District Attorney, Attorney General of the State and the Public Service Commission of this district wre the defendants, Judge William L. Ransom, former counsel of the Public Service Commission, and now a law partner of former Gov. Whitman, ap- |pany asserts that the 80-cent rate Is confiseatory. On behalf of the Borough of Man- hattan the District Attorney set forth that the st ents in support of the claim are general in character and are based on conclusions. No figures setting forth the earnings of the company since 1906, dividends paid, properties boughi—ae allewed—depre- clation and other vital factors are given tn the bill of camplaint it was said. When the 80-cent gas bill was passed the Consolidated Gas Com- pany went into court to upset the jaw. it was upheld by the Uniteu States Supreme Court with the pro- viso that aiter a fair trial the com- pany might asi for relief if it could show that the rate would not allow net earn... of 6 per cent. ¢ District Attorney asserts that the only way such a claim could be substantiated is by the production of figures and records, none of which ‘ppears in the bill of compiaint ex- cept bare general statementa, The District Attorney also contends that the revision of rates charged by pu- lic utilities ig purely a legislative function and, outside the jurladiction of the courts, although the Consoli- dat jas Co. has the right to ask t relief if it can show that gislature by regulative law has imposed a confiscatory decree upon the stockholders, The Court was reminded that a court of equity does not sit as a Legislative Commission or board of rev It has no power over leg- islation and is not justified in assum. “IN BAD” WITH THE WIFE?
