Brush Electric Company v. Galveston, 262 U.S. 443 (1923)


No. 179


Argued April 18, 19, 1923
Decided June 4, 1923
262 U.S. 443

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

Syllabus

A decree of the district court refusing present relief by injunction from rates challenged by a public utility company as confiscatory, but leaving the plaintiff free to renew its application after an actual test of the rates, affirmed because the evidence was so conflicting and the conclusion to be drawn from it respecting items involved in the computation was so uncertain and speculative as not to warrant disturbance of the findings of the lower court. P. 446.

Affirmed.

Appeal from a decree of the district court refusing to enjoin the enforcement of ordinances of the appellee regulating the rates to be charged by the appellant for electricity.
