Contrary to the common sup

HEARING ON POLLOCK BILL
P. S. G. Asked to Begin New Pro.
ceedings Against Edison Co.

The Pollock bill. now i'm the hands Of
Governor Dix, has possibilities that formed
the basis OF hearing before the Public
Service Commission yesterday. Edward s.
Brownson, counsel for several associations
Of stationary engineers. argued that If the
bill became law the Edison company would
be able 10 rcorganlze and capitalize the
value of all its present franchises. and
then. under tho principle laid down by the
so-cent gas case in tho United States Su-
preme Court, II would be entitled to re-
turn Of 6 per cent on the value Of It's prop
erty. In that case, the value Of franchises
was put at something like s7.o0o.coc, but that
case WAS settled before the enactment OF
the Public Service act. which now might
prevent any such adjudication.
The complaint OF the stationary ongi-
neers is that the Edison company charges
small consumers extremely high rates. and
with electricity at less than cost. throttling
competition In the way OF independent
plants
Mr.. Brovnson said he had put In all his
testimony and wanted the commission TO
develop the facts anent tho possibilities OF
the Pollock bill. Henry J. Hemmens, coun-
sci for the Edison company, said the com
testimony when no case has been made out
against IT, Arthur s. Luria. counsel for the
National Isolated Power Plant Company,
offered a motion 10 begin an entirely new
proceeding against the Edison company.

EXPRESS MEN AST0MISHED

Cficials Of the express companies were
surprised yesterday that anything definite

Interstate Commerce Commission and the
conrarieS as TO proposed reforms 10 be
instituted in the express business should
have been made public az this time The
representatives Of the companies az the
conferences with the commissioners had
heen pledged TO secrecy. IT was said. and
the story from Washington that an agree

considered in the nature of a '1eak."
The of1cisls generally were reticent q bout
discussing the possibility Of an early agree

that the question OF establishing uniform.

would be some time before anything defin-

Representatives of the various companies
declared It could not be foreseen now
whether such system would mean a sub

was apparent that the question of rates
was the one important issue over which
there was likely to be any serious con-
