business meeting, was given last night

of the organization, chief among which
was the report of the committee On the
excursion to Luna Park, the report show
ing the excursion to have been a money
making proposition. there being a net
balance Of $50. The money was handed
over to w. H. Richardson, treasurer, to

excursions or entertainments in the fu-
ture. A proposition to amend the con-
stitution of the organization was dis
cussed. Nothing definite will be done,
however, until the next meeting. The
amendment provides for official repre-
sentation of the association in the Re-
publican League of the District of Co

After the business meeting a number of
impromptu speeches were made by men,
bers of the association and invalid guests,

the law under which the gas light com
panies are proceeding in the courts for

slider what it ought to do about the mat
ter in view Of the facts. The Commits
sioners withheld their communication to
Congress at the request of Mr.. Perry, and
gave him full opportunity to present his
views. to which they gave due attention:
But they conclude, under the advice OF

Do Not Now Ask Repeal.

1.-THE Commissioners do not ask at this
time the repeal Of the law. although they
state in their annual report that they be-
lieve that it should be repealed. but only
suspension of it until Congress can take
action, either by the substitution OF some
other method of dealing with the matter
or In some other way. The Commissioners
in their annual report have recommended
that they be clothed with additional pow
ers to regulate the public utility corpora
lions and given expert assistance to do so.
II this were done they could be empow-
cred to deal with the subject in all its
phases, as is done elsewhere. by public
service commissions or public lighting
commissions. In any event the Commits
snoners believe that they ought to bring
this matter to the attention of Congress
in this way, so that it may know what is
going on in the premises and have an OPP
portunity to act before the possible in
crease of the capital stock Of either gas
light company is made which might pre-
vent the desired reduction in the price Of

DECLINE TO REVERSE OPINION
DISTRICT AUTHORITIES TO oP-
POSE GAS COMPANIES.
Approve Suggested Suspension Of
Law Under Which Corporations
Apply for Extension.

Notwithstanding the arguments pre-
sented to the Commissioners by counse!
for the two local gas companies against
the proposed action on the part of the
Commissioners to urge Congress to sus-
pend that section Of the law governing the
gas companies, which action will prohibit
them from petitioning the court for val
uation of. their properties and from in
creasing their capitalization, the Commits
siopers after a conference this morning
decided to proceed as they originally in
tended
The Commissioners have been opposed to
increase their capital stock. and have op-
posed the petition of each company. E.
II. Thomas. corporation counsel of the
District. who has been conducting the
night against these companies for the
Commissioners, recently recommended that
the Commissioners offer joint resolution
to. Congress asking for the suspension Of
section of the law, under which the gas
companies are authorized to increase their
capital until further action on the part of
Congress. This further action on the part
Of Congress Is said to be the repeal of the
section referred to.
The Commissioners at once approved the
recommendation of the corporation coun-
sci. Immediately upon learning Of the
proposed action the authorities of the gas
companies offered objections and asked
for permission to offer arguments to show
why the Commissioners should not take
this drastic step. as termed by the attor-
neys of the company. Counsel for the
companies not only offered oral arguments
but submitted to the Commissioners a
printed brief.
