The company contends that the provision does not apply in the Watson case, although it Is within the city limits. R. A. Lelter and Harrison Allen, attorneys for the company said to Commissioner Aitchl- son before whom the hearing was held that there is a marked distinction be tween a commercial railroad, a subur ban railway, an interurban railway and a street railway. The Mount Scott line is a street railway, they contended, but Watson Is situated on an interurban line, although it is within the corporate limits. . The attorneys would not say yester day that present statements regarding the Watson case was an. ultimatum, but Commissioner Aitchison. said that it was probable that the case would have to be taken to the. courts for final settlement. Six reasons why the statute does not cover the Watson case were offered by the attorneys of the company. Commissioner Aitchison refused to consent to ask the Attorney-General for a decision holding that the issue was a matter of fact, and not for Judicial decision. C. N. Huggins, treasurer, and R. W. Shepherd appeared before the Commis sioner and verified statements of the capitalization, operating expenses and other statistics of the company which had been filed in connection with the hearing to be held regarding the phy sical valuation of the lighting property of the company.
