THE RIGHT TOLAY CONDUITS
District Commissioners Hear the
United States COmpany's Plea.
IL Is Opposed by j. j. Darlington
Representing the Potomac Etec-
tric Light and Power Co.

The District Commissioners esterday
heard arguments as to the right OF the
UniteG States Company to lay couduits
TO connect with Mount Pleasant Columbia
Heights, aud Washington Heights.
Mr. j. J. Darlington appeared for the
Potomac Electric Light and Power Conr
rany which opposes the granting of n
permit for a conduit on Ninth street now
Immediately in question. Capt Thomas
and Mr.. Jere Wilson represented the United
States Company.
Among others present besides the three
Commissioners were Superintendent OF
Lighting Allen. DR.. TindalI, secretary to
the board Mr.. Werner one Of the directors
Of the United States Company, and Mr..
Lackey, OF the Potomac Company.
Mr. Darlington made long argument
involving largely the contention that the
attorney for tie District, Mr.. Thomas.
could not Ge right in his opinion, beca USE.
such a construction would nulIify the plain
intention or the last act of Congress to
IL stall have disposed further OF the queS
tion of supwaYs in the District. He said
the pnncipai provision and purpose OF this
act is unquestionably CO prevent further
overhead wires aud conduits. He said that
this seemed even TO require no argument.
Il MINOR provision of the act which must
certainty be considered subsidiary to the
principal purpose, says that the United
States Company may extend its conduit" 4"
into these sections. II this provision is
taken literally there is nothing whatever
to prevent the company from extending
all its conduits from any part OF the city
TO these sections. This would reduce the
Commissioners TO the position Of having
no control over the streets whatever. 1t
would also absolutely uullify the principal
provision or the law.
Judge Wilson followed Mr.. Darlington
Fc skid that the legislation referred 70 By
Mr.. Darlington, the act Of 1896, and the
confirm story act of 1897, undoubtedly
means whaUit says-that the United States
Company IGay extend its conduits into the
northern subdivisions.
He SAID that il was foolish TO make the
point that granting this permit would give
the company the right 10 extend all H.
oOnduits indefinitely, and in any direction.
All that the company claims, he said, Is
the right to extend its eXiSting north bound
conduius.
/ Captain BLACK asked what conduits these
were and captain Thomas answered those

Ing b. The Commissioners yesterday on a

Heretofore the agents, or the people who
represented themselves asagents of parties

these absentees' petitions for Jhe granting
OF Hcensts on the same block with their
property. The contention of the Anti

no right and no power to sign without
express permission from the people they
a;e supposed to be acting for. Very
frequently uhey might sign an application
when the owner of the property would
be averse to signing.

matter before the courts, but the attorney
