WISE AND DESIRABLE
Proposed Site for Botanic Garden Ap-
proved by Representative Sims.

That there is no better ground available
for the new location of the Botanic Gar
dens thall the 4G0-acre tract in Rock
Creek Park proposed by the Slayden bill
is the opinion of Representative Sims of
Tennessee. who is preparing speech
on the subject The bill is still before
the House and will be brought up for
discussion and possible vote at the next
available opportunity.
Representative Sims, in former
speech before the House said
THE 403-acre tract to be used for this
new garden is in the far western or
northern end of the park, where there is
practically no Improvement now. If it
We're to be improved park it would
call for the expenditure of a large amount
of money, whereas this expenditure for
the Botanic Garden will save the expense
that would otherwise be incurred if i'm
proved as park and would in no way
conflict with the general park purposes
and plans for Rock Creek Park and
there would be ample area. The project
is wise and advisable"

OF LOCAL COMPANIES
Recommends Consolidation of Wash
ington Railway and Potomac
Electric Corporations.

A consolidation of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and the
Potomac Electric Power Company was
suggested by Representative Prouty at
hearing before the House District COM
mittee yesterday. The suggestion was
made during the testimony of Vice Presi-
dent Ham of the company, who was
protesting against the bill to separate the
two corporations entirely.
Representative Frouty's suggestion
caused considerable comment at the
hearing and afterward Corporation
Counsel Syme was asked what the at
titude of the District authorities would be
on such a proposal. but he declined to
commit himself. The street railway Of
fcials, including President C. P. King
and Vice President Ham. said that in
their opinion such an arrangement would
be agreeable. Mr. Ham was the only
witness on the stand yesterday and laid
emphasis on his statement In opposition
to the contention by the public utilities
commission that the Washington Railway
and Electric Company had not main
tanned a proper depreciation account.

Quotes From Annual Report.

The facts are that our annual report
for the year ending June 80, 1912. to the
interstate commerce commission showed
a charge for depreciation in value of
equipment retiring amounting to S:3.
934.Ss.'' Mr. Ham said, .tand Furthermore.
there appeared as a reserve. on page -
of said report, the sum of $3.50 2o1. .35.
which included depreciation reserve of
S516, $685. fact which could easily have
been ascertained by the commission"
In further proof Mr.. Ham presented
the figures from the American Audit
Company, and report which said the
railway company is making ample charges
for maintenance and proper provision
for depreciation.
Mr.. Ham suggested that the public util-
tiles commission is going a little too
strong in its activities against the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company.
and said there seemed to be some animus
behind the commissions acts.
