WASHINGTON GAS
THE LOCAL LEADER
AT F|RMER PRICES
Proposition To Extend Rock
Creek Park the Cause.
Georgetown Neglected.

Interest naturally turned from George
town Gas to Washington Gas, and for
a reason-or, at least, a theory. Buy
ers probably figured that the Washing
ton Gas Company would naturally
share in any possible happening that
would benefit its side partner, the
Georgetown company.
One reason advanced for yesterdays 5
sudden, unreasonable, and questionable
jump, with no stock on the market, to
LIS bid was that the company might be
able to secure a revaluation of its
plant" the inference being that this
would be very advantageous. What it
really needs is the ability 10 sell more
gas, make more money, and pare eX-
penses to meet the additional fixed
charges. Ten revaluations would not
increase its dividend fraction.
In looking for a reason for an ad-
vance in Washington Gas one may find
an effort to reduce expenses right and
left, save In official salaries, which re-
main generous; the Inauguration of a
commercial department, lease having
been signed for the store where the
exhibit will be installed. Last but not
least, the report in the Senate, fav-
orabiy, of the plan for the purchase OF
property, rights. etc., TO permit of the
extension Of the Rock Creek Park to
Potomac Driveway. This is the very
project that the gas people have been
figuring on, as the west plant site will
come in for condemnation or sale if
this project goes through.
Georgetown Gas was 100 bid-had any
fancy bids been made some stock might
have come out. AS 1t was, 200 was still
asked, reasonably high for a per cent
er that will not come in for any distri-
button Of the proceeds of west plant
sale.

Lieut.. Cotton Convicted Of Drunken.
ness BY Court Martial.

Second Lieut.. Roger B. Cotton OF the
Coast Artillery Corps was convicted by
q court-martial at Fort Monroe, Va. OF
the charge OF drunkenness in public
place while in uniform, and sentenced
to be reprimanded by the reviewing au-
thority.
Gen. Grant, commanding the Atlantic
division. said that the sentence, though
deemed inadequate and of doubtful eff
cacy. is reluctantly approved and will be
duly executed He expressed regret
that an officer would SO forget his re-
spect for the uniform he wears as TO be
guilty OF exhibiting himself in a drunken
and disgraceful condition. such as hap
pened In this case. The accused, how
ever, is given the opportunity by future
good conduct to justify the confidence OF
the court that he will not again bring
discredit upon the service by personal
misconduct. Lieut.. Cotton will be re-
leased from arrest and restored to duty.
