LINCOLN. April 10.-(Speclat.)-Scttle-merit
pf the York Telephone company Im
broglio satisfactorily, at a cost of $3,000
to the etate, with full vindication of the
commission's engineers, brings ou tagaln
that three times have certain elements,
taking their cue from the attitude of one
of the commissioners In questioning the
ability of the commission's own engineers,
raised A protest and demanded that an
Independent valuation be made, and three
times have the department engineers been
vindicated.
The first time the commission's experts
were criticized and their work questioned
was when thrlr figures on the Lincoln
sone properties of the Lincoln plant were
questioned, The attack was not only
l)ltter but personal as well, so much so
that Commissioners Clarke and Taylor
resolved to call In the chief engineer of
the "Wisconsin Railway commission to
check up the work, and he declared that
the figures were correct.
The people of Lincoln were not satis
fied then, and a second attempt was made
tq discredit the engineers, tho city of
Lincoln paying 11,000 of the peoplo'a
miney to hire Blon J. Arnold & Co.'s ex
pert engineer to come hero and make a
revaluation of the plant. The figures
found by this expert were practically the
same as those found y the state's en
gineers, but notwithstanding this Com
missioner Hall was not satisfied and
spent about three months to get up a
uieocituuB ufinion, wnicn was conspicu
ous entirely for Its length.
This gave the people of York a chance
to raise a protest against the valuation
of the commission's engineers on the
York plant, and as a result the people
wljl have to pay another J3.O0O, the prob
able cost of the York revaluation Just
made, which Is practically the same as
the valuation of the commission en
gineers, to satisfy the cravings of the
minority member of the committee to
keep In tho lime light and the effort of
certain Lincoln people to try to put a
public commission to the bad.
.The result of the York controversy Is
most satisfying to people at the state
house who are well acquainted with the
conditions surrounding the railway com
mission and the repeated efforts to dis
credit Its engineers.
