ANOTHER cHEcKro rnuEsDELL

ANOTHER cHECKTO TRUEsDELL
Commissioner Traesdeii, assisted BY
Commissioners Powell, win not be able
to accept the bid or the Potomac Light
and Power cph3xany yet awhile Judge
Cole has put a spoke in their wheel by
granting a temporary Injunction Little
doubt is entertained but that it will be
made permanent later on, when the case
Is passed upon by the court OF last resort, to
which, of course, IL will be carried by the
coDtending parties. Judge Cole, in grant
ing the restraining order, was careful 10
state that his action had no reference TO
the merits OF the case; in fact, he is SO
impressed with the far-rcaching effect
OF the questions involved that he declared
il was not a case to be passed upon by
miBistered- d-unintentionaily of course-a
rebuke TO Commissioner Trucsdell, who did
not hesitate to say that the language of the
act OF Congress clearly authorized the Com
mssioDers to accept the Potomac Com
pany's bid.
So Tar as the people Of the District are
concerned, the advent of the Potomac
Light and Power Company in conjunction
with Commissioner TruesdeIl's lexington
plant has caused nothing but an uproar,
both in and outside OF Congress nxpen-
sive litigation and general annoyance It
was undoubtedly the intention OF Congress
that there should be no more gene raj
tearing up of streets, and ordinarily it
might have been expected that the Com
missioners would not only have regarded
it as their duty but taken pleasure to dis
courage every attempt locking to the dis
figurement, temporary or permanent, of
the city's thoroughfares For obvious
reasons, however, the board, Influenced
by one OF its members, took a different
course, but at the last moment President
Ross fortunately became convinced by the
opinion of Attorney Thomas that they had
6obS oo t2k 90 tifCs ooEGti " 20 WlthOut
violating the letter and the spirit OF Con-
grcssiopui lcgisiution Commissioner Trues-
dell, however, and his engineer colleague,
were a law unto themselves and consc-
queBtiy voted to receive and accept tie
bid OF the formers particular pet
The difference between The bids OF the
Potomac Company, which has no cenduiis
and no wires cast OF Rock Greek and OF
the United States Company which is
fully equipped in that territory is so slight
that the amount to be saved would not
begin to pay for the damage done to the
streets il they had to be torn up in order
to give the Potomac Company the requisite,
facilities. But the fact exists that Con-
gress has expressed its will, ard This will
probably be respected. Mr. Truesden to
the contrary notwithstanding.
