An Escaping Current Does Damage
to Winter Pines,

Complaint has been made TO the District
Commissioners by George W. King. Treas
urer of the First Cooperative Building
Association of Georgetown, that an escap-
ing electrical current from the line of the
Washington and Great Falls Electric
Railway had. through electrolytic action,
greatly damaged, the water pipes leading
to two of his houses at 3714 and 372S Pros
pect Avenue.
The complainant asserted that although
the houses were practically new, the water
pipes had to be replaced four times. He
said that there was a time when patience
ceased to be virtue and appealed TO
the District for some kind OF redress. The
Commissioners referred the complaint TO
the District Electrical Engineer, who as
signed an inspector to visit the premises
and conduct a series of tests along the
line of the railway. A report was made to
the effect that the railway company has.
during recent months, greatly improved
the condition of its return current and
that the water pipes to which reference
was made are no longer in danger Of cor
rosion by electrolysis.
