The Commission^ rate base of $460,061.88 for ;v the water production facilities and the water-bearing lands of the Railroad Company is in error and is low by over $311,000.00 (which is 40^ of the correct rate base of $771,300.00) for the reasons heretofore stated. 2. The depreciation charge of $8,021.24 computed by the Commission and the allowance for taxes, partic­ularly federal income taxes, are insufficient for the reason that the base upon which they are computed is low and in error; the depreciation Bp allowance is without foundation in the evidence and was computed upon the depreciated rather than the undepreciated capital base. 3. The rate of return of six per cent allowed upon the rate base of the Railroad Company is less than an adequate and reasonable rate of return. I -4-
