I'jaturally, when a confiscatory rate can be proA'^ed, the Supreme Court will give the corny any relief. Justice Holmes has expressed vi ev/s distinct from those of the court only rarely in this matter, and usually to maintain some related idea u-. On which he is everywhere in!r-. Istent . So, to uphold the belief that he expresses in every branch of the law, that the whole includes its part, he dissented in the case of Denver vs Den^rer Union Water Company (23). The water company's franchise h...ad expired, but pending renewal the company was designated by municipal ordinance as "without a franchise and a mere tenant by sufferance of the streets of the city. " In this situation, the city fixed water rates, which the company alleged were confiscatory, not f?renting sufficient compensation for the use of the compeny property. (23) 246 U. S. , 178. The majority . Ol' the Supreme Court upheld tliis viev?, and declared the ordinrnce to be in violation of the 14th Amendment . Justice Holmes' dissent is based upon the view that the ccmponyis not compelled hy the ordinance to furnish v/pter, that it may be ordered to stop furnishinfr v/ater at any time, and ma;- cease of its own accord.
