REFORMS
URGED BY JUDS0N

In what he termed probably my fare
well appearance before this committee -
Col. w. ". Judson, Engineer Commis-
sioner, told the subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee in
charge of the District bill that a num-
Der Of changes are needed In the con-
duct Of the Municipal Government;
Among other things, the Commission
er. In his parting shot asserted that
Congress should vest the Commission
ers with larger powers. Entirely too
much time. he said, is consumed by
Congress In the consideration Of minor
street bills and measures OF this char-
acter, which should be left the regula-
tons by the Commissioners.
Colonel Judson made one more plea
for a municipal asphalt plant He urged
the creation Of public service commis-
sion and attacked the proposed merger
of the public utilities Of Washington;
I'VE have no public utilities law ike
Consideration in the various States" he
said Arguments for such q law seem
almost superfiuous. / need only NEIL
ton the recent organization under the
laws of Virginia of gigantic holding
corporation known as the washington
Utilities Company, which, with the
usual accompaniment of imitation. and
practically without public supervision
or the expressed consent Of Congress,
Is thrustfng itself into our local Pubic
utility situation.
The asphalt paving industry in a city
Of the size of Washington Is perhaps
a natural monopoly. II there be two
Independent plants, for self-preserva-
ton they enter into more or less close
agreements. and the public finds itself
supporting two plants and two organlza-
tions. II they enter into no such agree
ment, for a year or two there may be
cut-throat competition. One plant goes
under. and the public must pay the
prices demanded by the plant remain
ing.
I am convinced that it would be wise
and economic to motorize the apparatus
Of the fire department throughout, and
that II this were done there would be
little or no necessity for any materil
increase in Ire apparatus for ten years
more to come. tn
II wish to emphasize the need for
immediate adjustment of the deficiency
in the police and firemen's pjension
funds and the placing Of the same upon
a fixed and permanent financial basis
by the passage Of Senate bill 2o7 and
House bill sss7.

The contract for the Avenue stands,

quite a sensation. Mr.. Bains declared
he made the contribution with the un-
derstanding that there would be an
inaugural ball. Chairman Thorn. of
the finance committee, denied any such
ARRANGEMENT. The committee unan-
imousiy decided that in view of Mr..
Bain's feeling In the matter, the uub-
scription ought to be returned.
The following appropriations. all rep

Major General Wood and r. N. Har-
per reported satisfactory progress in
their committees.
The fact that there is considerable
opposition felt among members of Con-
gress to the use Of the Capitol for the
proposed inaugural reception developed
today. The matter was discussed in
the meeting of the joint inaugural COM
mittee yesterday. At that meeting 1t
committee had not power to go ahead
and make inaugural reception arrange
ments. However. In addition to this,
there Is a feeling among some Of the
committeeman II Is said to be quite
strong in both houses-that ii would be
uriwise to have a reception in the Capt.
tol because of the danger of destruc-
ton of statuary. vandalism to pic
lures, and the Ike.
While this feeling exists, prominent
Republican Senators said today they
did not see how anybody on their side
could well offer any opposition to the
use Of the Capitol. II resolution for
its use for a reception is put in, II Is
expected to pass unless Democratic op-
position manifests itself.
Senator MARITIME said today he had not
fully made up his mind whether to in
troduce a resolution for the use Of the
Capitol for an inaugural reception. He
said he found there was considerable
opposition to the use of the Capitol for
that purpose. At the same time, his
present inclination is to put In the reso-
