Zchairman, who with A. l‘) HZOIYORE. §of Fredericton, and '\ bourqua, ‘Fox Creek, members, has been con- Friucting the hearing. ' In his argument for the com- Epgny‘ Mr, carter contended that the, Iquestion to be settled was whether Ethe rates charged are reasonable or unreasonable in consideration of the value rendered the consumer. His iaddress to the board was, in part. ins follows: ,' -It is for the city of Fredericton .9; prove that the rates are unreas- Eonable. In 192-1 the present schedule _of rates was agreed to by the city ‘and has been acquiesced in ever ‘since. That fact, the. Wmlifllly ‘Econtends, presents strong prima facle evidence that the rates are ‘ reasonable. Furthermore, the per capits con- _umpticn in Fredeticton since the present rates were established in 1927 have risen from 20 k,w.h. to 61 k.w.h. in i931 (for domestic customers) and from 86 k.w.h. to 137 for commercial customers. “Surely you could not get any better illus- tration that the rates are reason- nbis thsn the rapid and substantial mcreaso in consumption of power during that period." ‘ Property Value Regarding the method of deter- mining the value of the property ' ~\ kss depreciation, we maintain con- ‘til | p. -.~‘:?“1+—T‘ §I*T€‘$f-—'~7Ei飀 7” ‘ .1 u 1| t; r-valus cfthe service to the 5-H- ""141. he said . isfderation should be given the ori- ginal cost of the property, the amount and. market value of its stocks and bonds, its probable earn- ing capacity and the sum required r for operation. At this point Mr. Carter quoted several legal eases in United States courts in support of 11's contention that "reproduction costs alone" formed only a small point in con- sideration given such cases. Here Mr, Carr asked m. Carter If he felt production costs should be taken into consideration in dc- termining value of service to the consumer. Mr. Carter said he did not think so but- rather that the cus- tomer should be the deciding fac- tor. i"or example, he said, in Saint John telephone calls are rated on this basis, and the man who makes extensive use of his telephone pays more pro rats, than the person making little use of it. Referring to Mr. Hughes‘ argu- ment during the morning that "only property used and useful" should figure in the valuation, Mr. ‘ Mjlarterjpointed out that since i027 the company has invested $330,- 000 less about $80,000 for retire- ments, in improving the system, a large part cf which was spent on the generator plant (now idle) and which the city d:es not want in- (8 eluded in the valuation- I i "Tlrat investment was. made in good faith" for the purpose of sup- plying the people of Fredericton with“ the cleciric pcwer they need- In 1926 the company was produc- ing power at 1.06 cents per k. w. h. of the ccst of production arc in evidenca" Mr. Carter pointed out. "Under the conditions I feel the figure is doubtful," commented Mr. Carr, City mad Required Only if the Fredericton load were available, continued llfzr. Carter, was the Minto power project fess- ible, and. the company, without any outlook for benefits to itself, but with benefits to the customers,'i.f any such benefits developed, as- sured by the contract, went into the agreement to purchase power from the Conunision, in a spirit of co-operation. “It was not until some bright mind discovered the roferenm in the Mencton decision to “used and useful" as a basis for the property valuation in determining a rat/e basis, that this inquiry was pre- cipitated," he continued. As for the steam plant, it was good business for the company to maintain it as s. standby in case something happens to the Minto plant and to protect the company against exor-btiant rates when the present contract with the Com- mission expires. a Quoting several United Ststss cases, Mr- Carter contended it is the general practice to reimburse investors financing plants which later are abandoned, by having such plants amortized over definite periods- The Fredericton steam pant should be amortized, out of fairness to the investors under similar circumstances, he said. Continuing, Mr. Carter said the company estimated the rate base as $437,040.41 which was not far out in comparision to Dr- Stephens’ estimate, in 1930, of $200,000 "and something more" for a possible rate base and $200,000 for the old steam plant which Mr. Carter said the board may or may not see fit to amortize- Bsfers to Witnesses "Furthermore I cannot refrain from remarking that Dr. Stephens was a mcdel witness on direct ex- amination by Mr. Hughes, but he was a. most difficult witness as far as I, and I think the commission, was concerned in cross-examina- tion." "Simply a case of different coun- sel," interjwted m. Hughes- "With reference to Mr. Vander- voort (superintendent of the N. B. Eiiectrie Power Commission) I think it. must be admitted that his experience has never included construction of any system on the scale of the Frederictonone but has been confined to work in rural’ districts and villages and included practiealiy no experience in work- ing eapital- This, I think, was rs- flected in his rather loose methods in arrivng at estimates in figuring the value of the distribution syl- tem and plant. Mr. Vsndsrvoort also accepted Dr. Stephen's figur- es for overhead costs- There is no- thing in the record to show the professor is qualified, through ex- perience to give accurate estimates in such work." Several other points were dealt with by Mr. Carter referring to comparative labor costs, minimum bani: balances, operating expenses the importance of making substan- tial allowance for "going value" and the fact that comm!” N‘ garding voltage had larltlr bu" remedied. nous in Rebuttal In his rebuttal remarks m. Bushes pointed out there has been no set rule established for deter- mining tho value of service rend- ered. "when a company his l monopoly of a product they might demand all the consumer could pay for their product but that would not necessarily be o fair price to the ccnlumer- A fldr price isthsvsluonftheproducttothc Mr. Hughes based his arguments on tho judgment of the board in the Moncton electric power rates ' tum won the producer's invest- ? wk‘! ,0‘ flunk u.“ ,0‘, u.” W) “I $380,000 AUVQW‘ : ' y," hum,’ h m; "m. y", m; ed by the company since i937. m. 5 flclflllfil’ 9th-14th itselfin your druuint‘: cslmlt lnre- Hughes asked what the company i; . l! had to show for it. i-Ie referred to “ -' .

Capital Valuation Therefore, the antiquated elec- tric llght plant of the company [which the company's Mr. Donald- son described as so much “junk", which is not in use but is sitting there idle, and they are attempting to show as part of their capital in- vestment is not "used or useful.” It should not be taken into consider- ation when the base rate upon which ‘the company is allowed to earn is being estimated. We have shown that lVLr. Vand- ervoot, superintendent of the N. B. Electric Power Commission, esti- mated the reproduction value new of the Maritbne plant, after allow- ing for depreciation and all other items necessary, was $143,343-10 compared to $101,163.64 estimated by m. Taylor, valuating engineer brought here from New York by the company. The difference in to- tals is $44,820.45- For the company Mr. Taylor would pay $8,000 for six months engineering superintende 1n erecting poles and establishing the distribution system. He would add such expenses as law costs during construction, $890: injuries and damages in some period, $1,730; taxes during construction, $890: interest during construction, $6,235, "and then to that they add a bon- us for the mistakes that adds $7,120 to the ccst of reproducing the system new-" Sets Rate Base at $152,148 We contend the fair figure for the rate base upon which the com- pany should base its earnings is Ii52,143-l9. Incidentally it is a question whether it is not time the interest rats of 8 percent allowed on such base rates should not be lowered in view of changed general conditions. There is no actual leg- islation fixing the earnings allow- able at B percsnt. I think it dates: ‘back to the legislation fixing this rate for the New Brunswick Tele-i phone Company many year! 880- ' Allowing 8 percent, on the base rate we have mentioned and prov- iding for other costs, including power, the actual annual operating costs would be alIPIWldmI-"l! $105.- 8ll.48.

L-A re- port received in Moncton Monday from Cape Bauld, parish of Bots- ford, states that while at his lob- ster traps Monday morning Mr. George F, Porelle, well known fish- erman of Lower Cape Bauld found a power. boat and dory drifting "at! sea without any occupants. After: quite a difficult task he and thnsei who accompanied him succeeded in securing both craft and towed them to Lower Cape Bauld wharf. A search of the engined boat re- vealed that both were owned and registered by a man named Arsen- ault, of Rock Point, P. E. I., and had evidently been swept from their moorings on the Island side of the Northumberlnnd Strait in the gale that lashed this section on Saturday and Sunday. The owner at Rock Point was eventu- nlly communicated with and will come after the craft. Both were half-filled with water when found. It was also reported that the fierce gale of the week-end had damaged one of the breakwutcrs at Cape Bauld quite badly and that part of it which had been torn away had smashed some fishing boats moored in the vicinity, but the exact extent of the damage could not be ascertainecb- Moncton Times.
