DEFENSE AGAINST LOWER RATES l . O. T. U Seekla- la Maay " Caart Dertslea aat Will Give a Haadle Fight Rat Re tarttoas. Omaha will bs the next battl. ground in wltat Is believed to be a nation-wide legal battle in which the United Qaa Improve- inert company ta trying to establish In ' Monie court a derision that will give It a weapon with which to fight city laws which Mfk to reduce gas rates. The flulit being made tor the Tnlted Gas Improvement company of Philadelphia, which Is the corporation controlling nearly all the large gas companies in the I'nlted States. including the Omaha plant. againnt the tendency of city council to usk for dollar gas, hinges upon on. technical point more than any other, which ia the theory of cotit upon which an estimate of earning capacity is to be bused. The cities nearly every where and the expert who are supporting the cities are holding out for court de cisions which will allow them to figure a lair return for the companies on the actual paid out cost of construction. The com panies want th. estimate of their earning capacity made on the capital which It would take to reconstruct or replace their plums. aaaaar Waats l.arar (aaltallaatlaa It Is. of course, to the advantage of th company to have th. investment of lta capital Increased oy th. Intangible elements of buslueoM known as 'going values" ai much as possible and to have Its total in vestment seem very large to justify very large returns. The city can justify a reduc tion of prices If it can show that the cap ital Investnieat la smaller than the com pany claims and consequently that the fair return Is smaller. Th. case in Omaha will be pushed by ex perts who have beeen employed In other places by the United Oas Improve ment company and th. oorpa will probably com. her. as soon as th. the case Is finished In Des Moines, These Th.se men. Prof. Hagenaugh, a statisti cian, William Bah.r and Prof. Lee, experts In engineering science, have been engaged In many similar fights. Hagrenaugh la th. man who was employed by th. city of Chicago to make a report on gas conditions and had his report rejected by th. council authorities because It too greatly favored the gas company. The vice president and general counsel of the gas corporation, John rjorthait of New York, and other at torneys, Including probably N. T. Guernsey of Cedar Rapids, who is helping the Les Moines case, and Will Herdman, the local representative, will move on to Omaha Boon as the Des Moines gklrmlh Is fin ished. Accountants have already begun their checking of Omaha accounts. City ta Have. Kiprrt Aid. Tlie city will employ at least two. and possibly more assistants, to get up the es timates of the company's capitalised prop erty. One will be an engineer and the other a statistician. Engineer Craig is now Investigating all such pertinent problems a the life of material and the varying cost of construction metals, preparatory to meeting the complex arguments of the company's experts.
