”file do not believe that the com-

Public Utilities commission reads.
Attorneys George D. “'atrous and
J. 1“. Berry company counsel, also
set forth in their brief that. in their
opinion. no p0\\er is granted to thr
commission by the General Statutes;
to split up the. company in the man- ‘
ner demanded by the City of Hart—
