use the property OF the public and the
very nature Of the business makes it
practically q monopoly For these reasons
no power should be given a public service
corporation that viii enable It to put its
plant n such condition that It either can
not render proper service or render it at 2
fair cost.
When such a company issues a large
amount OF stock under the authority OF
legislative enactment, and this stock
passes into the haLds of innocent holders,
the company viii demand the right to pay
dividends upon all such stock, and any
attempt to reduce the price Of the COM
modify will be met with the claim of bad
faith TO the investor.
Opposed by Commissioners.
IN reporting upon a similar bill last
year, the Commissioners Of the District
said: The Commissioners would state
that in a corporation occupying such re-
Iations to the public as the companies
furnishing lights for the public streets
their arrangements becomes to a certain
extent matter Of public concern; and as
an excessive issue Of stock is apt 10 re-
suit in poor management. the Commits
sioners believe that the Issue should be
so safeguarded that the strength Of the
company viii be maintained We regret
the memory Of the Commissioners is so
short they have already forgotten this
very wise suggestion.
Alleged Amount Paid In.
IN the light of the history of the Wash
ingtcn GasIight Company printed in Con-
gressionaI reports, 1t seems somewhat re-
1narkabIe that the majority of the COM
mittce should ASSERT IN their report that
no attempt has ever been made to water
the stock Of the company The company
now has outstanding s.. $685. 600 Of capital
stock. No officer Of the company has
ever contended that more than S1,492. SOC
was ever paid in. We believe if The truth
were known, it fou:59: be found that only
S42 500 was paid :ato the coDnpany's treas
ury and all the balance of its stock repre-
sents profits drawn from the citizens OF
the District IN addition to the large divi-
dends this stock has always paid"
History OF the Company.
The report then goes on at considerable
length to give history OF the company
and statement of its financial condition
II conclusion it says:
This bill has oeen pending before the
committee since the beginning of this
Congress. Neither during the life of this
Congress or the preceding one was any
investigation made by the Committee on

The statrment OF TIE committee that

The sections of the code referred to
by the majority report are those regu-

Commissioners, calling attention ~
conditions existing in School Street and

lating to the proposed opening of the
street be referred 10 the Chief Engineer
Of he Fire Department for consideration
and report
Mr. Warner calls attention TO the long
detour the IRE wagons would have 10
make in case Of fire at the school. He
also shows that the bottling Up Of en-
giHes, truck. and hose wagons in a blind
street would cause the department to
work at great disadvantage. These facts,
IN Ar. Warmers mind, afford additional
and convincing reasons why School
Street should be opened and the conditions

To induce British in this country to go into the Iransyaal the British government will oner great inducements in the shane or large grants of lands, cattle farm ing utensils, etc.
