IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES
By GEORGE H. GALL.

Far from being a prohibition against
the consolidation of local public utilities
the La Toilette amendment to the Dis
trict appropriation act, actually provides
a way for such consolidation without
any further authority Of law. according
to the opinion of a local financier who
has given the new law affecting the
public utilities Of the District careful
consideration.
The La Toilette amendment. then con-
strued in connection with the public
utilities act. is declared to cover the
ground completely. SO far as all acts
of Washington public service corpora
tions are concerned.
1t is pointed out that the beginning
of the La Toilette amendment has ex-
ceptions. the significance Of which has
not been fully apprehended, as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any
foreign public utility corporation, or for
any foreign or local holding corpora
ton, or for any local street railroad cor
poration. gas corporation. electric cor
poration. telephone corporation. tele-
graph corporation, or any other local
public utility corporation. directly or in
directly, to own control. or hold or vote
stock or bonds Of any public utility cor
poration organized under any general
incorporation law or special act OF the
United States or authorized under any
law Of the United States to do business
in the District of Columbia, except
as heretofore OF hereafter expressly
authorized by Congress, and 1t shall
be unlawful for any public utility
oorDorofiop orpcnizod or authorixed
as aforesaid to sell or transfer any
portion of its stock or bonds to any
other public utility corporation or hold
ing corporation whatsoever, unless
heretofore or hereafter expressly
authorised by Congress so to do, and
every contract. transfer, agreement to
transfer. or assignment by any said
public utility corporation organised OF
authorized as Aforesaid Of any portion
Of its stock or bonds without such
authority shall be utterly void and OF
no effect"
For the Interpretation OF these excep-
tions. especially in view Of the use Of
the words, heretofore or hereafter. "
reference is then made to the end of
paragraph 81 of the public utilities act.
which reads:
TT shall be unlawful for any street
railroad corporation, gas corporation.
electric corporation. telephone corpora
ton. directly or indirectly. to acquire
the stock or bonds OF any o<her cor
poration Incorporated for or engaged
in the same or similar business as It is.
unless authorised In writing to do %
by the commission and every contract
transfer. agreement for transfer. or
assignment Of any such stock or bonds
without such written authority shall
be void and Of no effect"
This, II Is then contended. provides
the express authority referred to In
the La Toilette amendment.
In other words, the two parts OF the
law, when construed together, are as
serted to give the public utilities COM
mission entire authority to do whatever
may seem necessary and proper. with
out any further special enactnents by
Congress. The irreconcilable differences
between the public and corporal tions is

securities for those Of the Washington
Utilities Company, or X two raE COM
panies desire to combine. full authority
for such acts may be had from the pub

can be made to see the points of view
Of the applicants for such authority.
The local security market showed a
better tone during the week than for
some time. The investment bond buy
ing was not quite up to the record Of
the previous week. but there was more
activity in the stock list A total of
$1,000 Of bonds were bought as COM
pared with $4,000 in the week before,
but Of the $4,000 one purchase amounted
to $4,000, 50 that In some respects even
the bond buying was better In the week
just closed. There were 1,s62 shares
of stock traded In as compared with
SS7 in the preceding week.
Not only was the business Of better
volume. but prices tended upward
rather than otherwise. Two new high
prices were recorded. los for Metropoli-
tan Railroad SIS, and lS for East WASH
ington Savings Bank. Washington Gas
SIS eased OF q little and sold down to
l0Sif. two points or the high mark and
a half under the last low. While WASH
ington Railway common made a good
show of strength, advancing two points
over the price OF last week. the pre-
ferred did not follow. but eased of to
a fraction under the last low mark.
Mergenthaler was easier, also. Federal
National Bank sold q point under the
high mark Of l40 set in the previous
week.
The bank stocks generally were
neglected and no new issues came on
the market. The trading was largely
in the public utility stocks, the railway
companies and Washington Gas.
That the enactment Of the public
utility law has had much 10 do with
this better tone to the public utility
utility men. Washington pubic SER
vice corporations are now upon the
modern basis Of being able to submit
their plans and necessities to an Of
ficial commission. instead Of either pre-
legislation needed from time to time or
being in the position OF stretching ex-
listing inadequate authority in the alb

doing It through the holding company

pected to be brought up and determined
