Mr. Aahbv said the first question waa whether tbe commu-ekm deeired to aae the supreme court for a rehearing. The eommlaalon he aaid. waa the only party that could aak.

Maaaon that the dectolon of the aupreme court waa going to make "this oommlaaion all kinds of trouble." If be were tbe commission, he said, he would wish to go to the supreme court of the United States.

If the condition of a company Is due to careless and negligent management "That I take It would Include the financing of the company," remarked Mr.

Maaaon. Mr. Haynea observed that aa the commiaaion haa proceeded in emergency case it usually finds there Is an emerg ency in view of Increasing prices If a utility shows that It to earning only I or $, or 4 per cent But tn aome cases, even If a public utility to earning no more than that the commiaaion would not find an emergency "1 can't aee how we can go info thia caae without a complete hearins" said Mr. Haynea. who remarked tat the company wxa'not asking for valuation of tta property "We are not asking for but wa are prepared to anow aaid Mr.

After Mr. Noel predicted there would be trouble tor the eommaialon growing out of the dedalon of the eupreme court Inasmuch ss the dectolon would raise many questions ss to rights of mu- nicipalltiea under contracts with public utilities Attorney-General Stanebury said: "I don't like the doctrine of the case. Ha went on to say the Indlananolla Street Railway Company Interests bad gone to the legiaiature and got aubstan-tially the kind of law they Seeired. The city of Indianapolis made a contract I under the power delegated by that law. but now the court holda that the state and not the city has authority over rates.

The decision in tbe recent cae, went aaid. than the court went in the Winfleld caae, for In the 1st- ler ma utility company nao aurreoaerea it franchise and taken an Indeterm inate permit Tbe afreet ear company of jnxuanapoua naa not surrendered, tta franchise. "I don't see that tt makee much difference whether a corporation surrenders its franchise or not It looks very much to me as if the dectolon has thia effect that the commiaaion can raise ratea but can not reduce them." said the attorney-general. Rates Fixed by Law. Aahby read a paragraph from the dectolon of the supreme court Baying the state, to the law of 139 bad fixed the ratea of street car fare in Indiana-polls.

While it waa true the Indianapolis contract Incorporated the ratea specified In ther statute, Mr. Aahby. said' the statute of 1S3S authorised the city to enter into a contract for lower ratea but could not contract for higher ratea than the law specified. At thia point tne aucuesion the commiaaion retired and reached the con clusion to hear the petition of the company beginning; August 13. of Cieres, Gouasancoart and Meuniere small pocket in this region, although within range of their heavy guns.
