ANSWER TO LIGHT
COHPAtlYJS FILED
City Enters DtnUl of Petition Seek
in Injunction Ajainit Operation
of New Ordinance.
ASSERTS PRICES K0T UUFAIR
The city of Omaha, through Cor
I.cratlon Counsel Lambert, hag tiled
in the federal court an answer to the
petition of the Omaha Eletftrlo Light
end Power company, which Is seek
ing a permanent injunction agalnat
the operation of the new ordinance
No. 8810. which fixes lower electric
light rates.
At the same time the city filed In
the court thirty-four questions which
It asks that the corporation he re
quired to answer.
The city' answer U principally formal,
denying the allegation of the plaintiff
petition, denying that the price fixed
by the ordinance are unfair and denying
that the plaintiff plant I worth any
thing like 5,000.000, but. on the contrary,
declaring it 1 not worth over W.000.000.
The city In It answer charges that the
corporation 1 now unlawfully discrim
inating In It prices and I furnishing
energy to many large consumers at the
mere cost of producing tbe energy alone;
also that It 1 charging other consumer
far In exceaa of a Just charge, and that If
all consumers were treated alike the pro
posed reduced rate would be adequate to
yield a Juit return on a fair valuation of
the plant.
Ask for Figures.
The thirty-four question propoundnd
by the city are divided Into five subdi
vision. They involve facts and figures
regarding the electric light company'
business for the last twenty-five years,
but particularly for the year 1013 and
1914. rOoas revenues, net earnings, ex
penditures for various purposes are asked
for, with the request that these be given
In relation to Omaha consumer alone.
Also separate revenue figures are asked
for "commercial lighting," "residence
lighting," "retail power use and purpose."
and "heating and electric vehicle battery
clmrglng."
One question is: "State whether you
charged alt Omaha customer In 1911 and
1914 the price of the published ohdule
and If not, give all names of parson and
firms to whom smaller charges were
made."
If the court order these questions
answered and if the company gives ati
tactory answer the city will have all the
Information it need to proceed with the
case.
If the city does not get answers to
these questions the next step will be to
get a physical valuation of the prop
erty of the electric light company.
