PRECEDENT MAY BE. SET Thr Indiaaapoln Nfi Rorraq. 693 Albr Builaint WASHINGTON. August 21 Charles A. Russell, solicitor of the federal power commission, has given an opinion which is likely to set a precedent regarding the commission's right to examine the accounts of power companies and throw cut Items of expenditure which it believes the public should not be required to pay either in higher rates or in buying the plant at the end cf fifty years.

Making vigorous objections to the contention of the Lexington Water Power Company that the federal power commission has no Jurisdiction ever capitalization costs, Russell said the future of the commission is dependent on the solution of this question, adding that if the commission lacks this Jurisdiction, the whole federal water power act is "merely an idle gesture" Parts of Act Cited. "If that contention is true." Russell continued, "it means that the federal water power act gives the right to sit idly by in a state of 'innocuous desuetude' and rubber stamp the practices, the procedure, the thought and determination of the power companies." Russell cited various parts of the water power act to support his view. His decision has been referred to the three commissioners still in charge of the commission, Patrick J. Hurley, secretary of war; Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the Interior, and Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture.

The Lexington Water Power Company has obtained a federal power site on the Saluda river, in South Carolina, It Is controlled, according to the sworn statement of its executives, by the General Gas and Electric Company, which in turn is controlled by the W. Bars tow Association, and allied Barstow companies. Reorganisation Fends. What Russell objected to in his brief is the lending of money by one company to another and charging this to capital account, later to be paid by the public. Referring to cost of construction charged by one allied company, against another, Russell said: "The General Gas and Electric Company is the company that is doing all the business, and it lends to itself.

In the name of another company, the money which belongs to itself and then attempts to charge to the public the Interest on its own funds loaned to itself by iteslf for the construction of its own property." It is deemed probable that Russell's opinion will be held in abeyance pending reorganization of the federal power commission as contemplated by an act of the congress in the last session authorizing the President to name five fulltime commissioners to supplant the three cabinet officers who now serve.
