District Expansion.

To the Editor q The Washington Times:
One Of the most important matters,
perhaps. 20 the good citizens Of Virginia
especially that portion Of the Old Do
minion adjacent 70 our city, is the retro
cessiOu OF the territory originally de-
scribing its metes and bounds and the

passed in 1876. ceding Il back 70 the
State. II Is said that the United States
Supreme Court viii take this matter up
However DESTROYS We may be OF hav-
ing a voice IN the elective franchise OF
our State and National Governments, TO
some of us there would seem 10 be other
matters Of Of equal importance. The pre-
domination OF thes benefits Of being a
citizen Of the National Capital IS 50
conspicuous that further arguments and
proofs IN that direction are really IN
necessary % the man or woman of aver
age intelligence.
The contiglIity Of Alexandra county

GAS MELON WILL BE CUT To-
MORROW.

The long-heralded melon party, care
fully arranged by the directors of the
local Gas Monopoly as a benefit to
stockholders, will be held tomorrow.
The dividend certificates of indebt-
edness, amounting to 100000, will
be converted into bonds or will be taken
up for cash from the proceeds of a
bond sale of $1,000, 900.
The naive scheme to pay dividends in
the future on a fair value" of the
eomPany's property, instead of on the
par value of its capital stock, will be
agreed to.
When these plans are adopted and
put into operation, what will be the
status OF gas finances as concerns the
consumers OF gas2
1t will be exactly the same that it is
now and has been for several wears.
The question concerning the amount of
money the company is entitled to earn
as profits viii not have been affected.
The question Of the right price Of gas
for the District viii be exactly where
it was before the stockholders meet
ing. Even the status of the debt rep
resented by the certificates of indebt-
edness will be practically the same.
The Gas Monopoly will still be IN
der the necessity of proving to Con-
gress that it has a value of SIO.OOO.OOO
in its physical properties. It viii still
be obliged to defend itself from the
provisions of the pending bill fixing
the price Of gas at so cents. It will
still be subject to regulatory legislation
that takes no account Of the franchise
value Of 100000 upon which the
company claims the right to a return
in dividends and bond interest.
Inc melon-cuttlng feature OF the
meet ,ng tomorrow pertains to the
certificates. Those who hold stock and
not certificates think the value of their
holdings will be increased by convert
ing the certifcate-debt into a bond debt.
and b. reducing the interest rate there
on one per cent. This xill have no effect
on the interest of the consumer. As
long as the debt stands, it matters not
whether it is represented by a certifi-
cate or a bond. He must continue TO
pay the interest on If.
Congress will still have every author
ity over the monopoly that it ever
had That it will proceed to do some
regulating is more than probable.
