OBJECTION TO MANNER
OF BUYING OLD FORTS
Residents of Randle Highlands Do
Not Want to Be Taxed For
ACQUISITION of Parks.

Citizens of Randle Highlands are inter-
ested in the acquisition for parks of old
Forts Carroll and Dupont. on the Bowen
Road, near Massachusetts, Avenue ex-
tended. Congress at its last session ap-
propriated a sufficient amount to acquire
these two forts. A survey has been made
Of the property. but there the matter
stopped. The way in which these prop
critics are to be secured does not satisfy
the citizens, however, and an effort will
be made to have that part of the act
stating that the adjoining property
owners shall be assessed for benefits,
eliminated and the property acquired and
paid for out Of the appropriation and no
assessment levied. This method has been
employed in securing all Of the large
parks in the northwest section OF the
city.
Due to the steep incline at Twenty-fifth
Street and Pennsylvania and Minnesota

inconvenient for persons desiring to use
this street TO reach the same. several cit

chase lumber to erect steps at this loca-

lighted at the beauty of the statue"
Mr.: Trowbridge spent a number Of
years in Greece, making a careful study
Of the ancient art of that country, with
view to aiding him in his architectural
work. For several years he was a
student at the American Architectural
School at Athens. He is said to be an
authority on archaeology.
In view Of this opinion concerning the
genuineness Of the statuette, DR.. vouros
Is packing the work OF art preparatory
to shipment to the National Museum at
Athens, fr6m which institution 1t was

REHEARING ON ISSUE
OF BONDS REFUSED
Public Utilities Commission Rejects
Application Of the Warrington
Utilities Company.

The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday rejected the application of the
Washington Utilities Company for a re-
hearing on its request for authority to
issue Sl0.00o.0o0 worth of bonds. This Is
the first decision to be made by the
Utilities Commission since Commissioners
Newman and Siddons became men,
bers of that body.
The company stated in its application
that 1t had been under the impression
there was 10 be another hearing. when
it would be given an opportunity to
present additional facts bearing upon its
request for authority to issue the bonds.
The commission thought its previous de-
cision had been properly arrived at and
there was no necessity for rehearing.
The commission decided that the Wash
ington Utilities Company can hold the
$500, 600 worth OF Washington Railway
and Electric Company stock under the
anti-merger law, but that 1t could not
approve the bond issue plan, because the
company had acquired, or sought to ac-
quire, more than 20 per cent Of the stock

Company. Ownership Of more than 20
per cent Of the stock Of one corporation
by another is prohibited by the anti
