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.
