COMMITTEE REPORTS ON GAS
PARK VIEW CITIZENS DIS
CUSS IMPROVED SERVICE.
Lower Price and Increased Capitali-
cation Of Company Favored-Ad-
ditional School Facilities Urged.

AT meeting of the Park View Citi-
zens' Association last night in the Whit
ney Avenue Memorial Church, on Park
road, the report of the special committee
on gas legislation was received and re-
ferred to the committee on public utilities
for report at the next meeting. The re-
port was submitted by Messrs. d. A.
Teller and John G. McGrath, who repre-
sented the association at the recent meet
Ing of the Chamber of Commerce when
the gas question was discussed.
The report stated that it was in hearty
accord with the movement, and that the
price of gas should be fixed at 75 cents
per LOCO cubic feet; that the corporations
manufacturing gas for illuminating pur-
poses may be authorized to capitalize to
the amount of their actual physical as
sets. as shown by a careful inventory
made under competent authority by dis
interested persons. provided that fran
chises or "good will and the so-called
certificates Of Indebtedness" not being
considered a just basis for capitalization.
should not be included in an inventory of
a company's assets for that purpose, and
that the service pipes. connecting gas
mains with private residences and other
buildings where gas is used. which have
been paid for by the consumer. shall not
be included. The report further urges
tfle duOptlOn OF lne SllQlnS scale OF Oln6T-
wise. whereby the price of gas may be
adjusted in the future without recourse
10 legislation, and that provision be made
for proper and uniform quality and
pressure.
In the opinion of the committee the
provision of H. r. bill 1S345, introduced
at the last session. should be approved ex-
cept section 8, which authorizes the gas
companies subject to its provisions to pur-
chase and own coal lands and other
sources of supply of raw materials. which
is thought to be inmical to the interests
of the people and advises that 1t be
stricken out. Copies were ordered sent
to the daily press. chairmen of the House
and Senate District committees and the
Chamber of Commerce, when the report
Is adopted.
D. A. Teller, chairman of the commit
tee on education and public buildings in
formed the association that renewed
efforts will be made to secure additional
school facilities for the Park View sec
ton.
The committee on public utilities was
authorized to communicate with Secretary
Eddy of the District electric railway COM
mission, fndorsing his recommendation
that the railways be supplied with auto
matte p1ow pits, which remove the plow
automatically as 1t crosses the pit, thus
removing the danger to employees from
this source.
w. G. Widmayer was elected member
of the association.
The meeting concluded with an address
by Evan H. Tucker, president of the
ton. giving complete history of the gas

Disappearance of the Flag.
My attention was first called to- the

duty to study and investigate the va

It was the result Of these observations
which brought me face to face with the
real conditions. and a sense of morti-
fication over the fact that the American
flag on the seas is being less and less
seen In all sections of the globe. Today
there are practically no vessels at all

carry the Stars and Stripes. and few on

The question is. how can conditions
be remedied? Have the ships built in
American shipyards. under plans drawn
up by the Navy Department. SO that they
can be converted into naval auxiliaries
with American seamen, and give them
sumc1ent inducement through the car
