PLACED ON CONCERN
Officials of Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Com
. pany Present Brief.
VAST TASK TAKES YEARS
Attorneys File Statement in Historic
Valuation Case Before Public
Service Commission of State.
Cost Required $150,000.
Officials of th e Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company estimate that
a fair and just valuation of their prop
erty is approximately $62,000,000.
This fact is presented in the brief
filed by attorneys for the company yes
terday in the historic valuation case
before the Public Service Commission
of the state.
The figure represents the value of
the property as determined by a con
sideration of its original cost and the
subsequent increments, and the latter
figure represents the value of the prop
erty as determined by the reproduction
analysis and with the proper considera
tion of the "going value" of the con
cern. Valuation Tank Is Big; One.
The magnitude of the task of arriv
ing at a fair and accurate valuation of
all the property of the Portland Rail
nvay. Light & Power Company for the
purpose of this issue may be gathered
Irom the fact that the work has been
froing on for more than three years,
that at times as many as 40 men were
employed continuously for months by
the company, and a large number by
the Commission itself, in arriving at
their respective figures. The total cost
to the company, so far, has been ir ex
cess of $100,000 and to the Public
Service Commission approximately half
that amount.
The contention of the company is
that "the determination of the just
rate of return is not a question of ab
stract justice. It is a practical business
question which must be decided in
view of the demands which the finan
cial structure of the utility make, and
with regard to the price which is paid
in this investment field for the money
subjected to similar risk. "What this
money is worth depends upon the con
dition of the money market from which
tho money is obtained and the degree
of risk of the investment as affecting
the regularity and reliability of the
returns."
The question of risks attending the
investments in public utilities in cer
tain localities is also one of great im
portance and is discussed at some
length. The chief risks to which a
utility are subjected are, in the lan
guage of the brief:
Principal Risks Named.
"1. Competition of private or munici
pal plants.
"2. The passage of laws, or of taxa
tion measures, injurious to the busi
ness. "3. Stagnation or retrogression of
the community, causing a loss of re
turn on plants developed to provide for
the probable growth.
"4. Public improvements in the na
ture of grading and paving which re
quire a large investment without an in-1
crease in revenue-producing property.
"5. The destruction of the plant by
fire, earthquake, strike or rapid devel
opment of the art.
Under the first subdivision of risks
the brief points out that the company
is confronted with the hazard of com
petition in an aggravated form. Par
ticular mention is made of the advent
f the Northwestern Electric Company,
which has "accepted only the lightest
and most remunerative of the burdens
of the public service in the light and
power business."
Danger Found In Jitney.
The unregulated jitney competition
Is also commented upon as a source of
unusual hazard to utility investment in
this territory. A similar source of
danger is found in the agitation of
municipal ownership
It is firmly held that the decision of
th commission, whether fair or con
fiscatory, is accepted by the financial
world as conclusive, that their finding
of the "just amount" determines the
real "value" of the concern, and that a
low finding of value advertises to the
investment world that the property is
over-capitalized, places a bar in the
way of future financing, and makes
impossible the future development of
the plant to meet the demands of the
growth of the community, which in
Portland has made and will make great
demands upon the utility. The brief
froef: on to say :
"Credit is the life-blood of the indus
try, and its impairment is of a more
serious consequence to the utility than
a temporary reduction of rates. Earn
ings are variable, but the rate base, as
once determined, is likely to be perma
nent. This consideration of the direct
result of the commission's finding upon
the credit of the company is one of the
most important considerations to be
kept in mind in the decision of the case,
when considered in conjunction with
the fact that we are now passing
through a time of depression, perhaps
more acute in the Pacific Coast states
than that of 1S93; a time when almost
every industry on the Coast is subject
to serious strains and when the earn
ings of this utility show a distressing
decrease. The effect of the European
war with the enormous exhaustion of
property values is a source of uncer
tainly sufficient to unsettle the finan
cial world, and the ultimate effect of
which cannot be foreseen. This depres
sion, together with the presence of an
unregulated jitney competition a com
petition as unfair as could be devised,
combined with the competition of a
rival electric company a jitney of its
kind, serving only the short haul of
the power business makes imperative
a careful consideration by the commis
sion of the fact that in the practical
regulation of this investment in such
times, a state must exercise a care, be
cause drastic or careless action will re
sult in damage other than confiscation,
and against which the courts provide
no protection."
Kate Schedule Retards Earnings.
"In. this relation there is a similar
consideration, the importance of which
is increased by the influence which the
ultimate finding of fair value by the
commission will have upon the securi
ties and credit of the corporation. The
utility is not earning and cannot earn
under its present rate schedules and
the present industrial depression a full
8 per cent upon the value of the prop
erty which it devotes to the public
service. In this situation the utility
will suffer irreparable injury, if the
commission in determining value and
rates, in a circuitous manner, fixes
the value of the property at such a
point as will apparently justify the
rate schedule determined."
The brief points out another danger
it a low rate case snouia be decided
upon, In the following language:
"With the present acute depression,
accentuated by unregulated and unfair
competition, no sound policy of state
nictates that the credit of this utilitv
glial l be impaired by & finding oX a
low rate base. This is particularly a
iact, when, in its railway lines, the
earnings are such and the lengths of
haul such that a reduction of rates is
clearly impossible, and when in its
eiectric iignt and power ousiness me
rates are clearly reasonable and kept
so by free and active competition. This
is particularly true, also, in view of
what we regard as the most significant
feature of this valuation proceeding;
that, although the entire state knew
of the investigation and all of the
municipalities interested were notified,
the rates of the company are such and
the treatment of its customers such
that, excepting in the unimportant and
purely preliminary hearing and except
ing for the filing of a 17-page brief
by the city, setting forth in a general
way certain abstract principles of law,
no municipality entered an appearance,
and that out of the one-third of the
population of the state served by the
utility, the only person sufficiently in
terested in this proceeding to appear
was one Charles P. Church."
Interest Entirely Passive.
"It cannot be said reasonably that
there Is a public demand for regula
tion of the company's rates. None of
these appearances were made by per
sons or municipalities claiming an un
reasonableness of rates or service.
Their Interest was entirely passive.
This is an investigation made by the
commission upon its own motion, and
properly so made, but in fairness to the
utility it cannot be said that its rates
are such as to demand, in the present
economic situation, interference by
public authority which in any way pos
sibly 'can impair the credit of the en
terprise." That the state should view the prob
lem of regulation purely from a busi
ness standpoint insofar as the welfare
of the utility and the public, as well.
Is concerned, is another strong conten
tion made. The company is declared
to be the largest of its kind in the
state and serves one-third of the pop
ulation. "The eyes of the financial world are
on the case," says the brief, "and this
decision will be taken as a declaration
of the policy of Oregon toward such
investments. Investment capital is a
commodity for which there is the same
competition as for wheat and ltimber.
This competition exists between com
munities and states. Capital is cow
ardly. It follows the line of best re
turn and least adversity. In the money
market of this country the securities
of this company must compete with the
4600 separate and distinct issues of in
vestment bonds of a similar character
from all other investment centers of
the country."
MAZAMAS TO SCALE LARCH
Party Today Will Attempt to Repeat
Success of Year Ago.
The anniversary of the successful
ascent of Larch Mountain last year by
a party of Mazamas will be celebrated
today, when a party made up of prac
tically the same persons will again
climb that peak.
The climbers left Portland last nig-ht
on the midnight train for Multnomah
Falls. From there they will ascend the
mountain by way of the new trail.
The party which made the ascent last
year .comprised 22 members. They
reached the summit of the peak about
35 minutes before the sun rose. With
the new trail now completed the trip
to the mountain will be much easier.
MAN FALLS INTO SKYLIGHT
Estacaila Marshal Declares He Was
Pushed Off Lodging-House Balcony.
A. J. Ames, city marshal of Estacada,
fell from a balcony in the rear of the
Willamette lodging-house. Sixth and
Stark streets, and through a skylight
into the L. & H. saloon, 326 Stark street.
yesterday morning about 9 o clock,. Had
the skylight not broken his fall, it is
probable that he would have been se
riously injured. He was taken to the
Police Emergency Hospital.
Ames told City Detectives Price and
Mallett that he had been shoved from
the balcony. Deteotives are working on
the case.
