GRONINGER FILES BRIEF DN ITER WITH COMMISSION Document Cites Hundreds of Cases to Support Contention for Lower Rates, Exhaustive legal references and a complete review of the case of the Indianapolis Water Company in which the company asks for Increased rates are contained In a 162-page brief filPd with the public! service commission today fey Taylor E. Groninger, Indianapolis corporation council, arid associate counsel in the water case. For the most part the brief recites in detail the contention of Grorilriger and his associates throughout the hearing. It gives hundreds of legal Citations. ‘ , The Brief goes back to an order of the public service commission in 1917, setting the value of the company’s property at “not less than $9,300,0<)0.“ The attorneys take these figures and build up a present valuation of sll,121,439.44. The brief strikes at the reproduction Cost theory of valuation and defends the prudent investment theory. On this point the city and the Water company differ. The brief takes up the subject of structural overheads, declaring they should riot be allowed unless such charges actually exist. On the subject of going value, the brief says, “going value should not be allowed except on proof of its existence.” It holds the amount of going value is not arbitrary, but should depend on the facts in the case. A section of the brief contends the canal was not designed or constructed for water works purposes and ”it is unjust and unfair to the public to say that the value of the canal for rate purposes is to be measure,! by the reproduction new cost of It, particularly the lower portion of It.” , Skipesky Heads Committee F.
