Yesterday the justices listened to debate on the right of the government to hold up a number <51 lower court trials of the constitutionality of the Public Utility Holding company j act until a final decision is obtain ed on a complaint it has filed against the Electric Bond and Share company. In briefs filed in connection with today’s case, the Duke company contended that the buzzard roost project “will be a purely local, in trastate and proprietary enterprise engaging in the general utility business in competition with the petitioner.” Government Competition “A local intrastate utility,” it was added, “does not answer any of the requirements for a constitu tional object of a federal tax or ap propriation. It is inescapably and inherently local in character. It is private rather than public in that the operation of such a utility 1$ a proprietary and not a governmen tal function.” Replying to a contention by the Power company that the govern ment was attempting to ‘‘coerce privately-owned utilities to reduce their rates,” Greenwood county as serted in brief: “PWA's only lnterrat in the rate of the private utilities in the ter ritory to be served by the borrow ing county was to determine whe ther it was physically and finan cially possible for the proposed project to successfully compete.” The government contended that “the basic constitutional question presented in the case is whether Congress, in order to promote the national general welfare by in creasing employment throughout the county, has the power to au thorize expenditures in the form of loans and grants of federal funds to the sovereign states or their po litical subdivisions upon their vol untary application.” Pulpit Is Serving Its Fourth Church A time-worn pulpit which first saw service i. the First Baptist church here is now serving its fourth church, in the new Calvary Baptist church.
