Ignored Orders of the Board.

Following the first investigation the
companies were notified to adopt &C
counting methods that would make
plain the transactions between them.
Since that time the utilities board, 1t

forts to bring about the desired change
in accounting methods, and being Of the
opinion that the companies have not
taken the necessary steps in that direc-
ton, has decided to investigate the matt
ter formally.
The hearing will be held in the board
room Of the District building, begin
ming at 10 am. 1t is expected to con-
sumo several days. 1t also will be pre-
lfminary to consideration of the val
uations to be placed upon the properties

Question of Procedure.
One of the questions to be deter
mined now is whether the estimates
for beginning the work shall be sub
mitted by the War Department or by
the District Commissioners. 1t devel-
oped at the hearing today that Secre-
tary Garrison is not fully informed as
to the necessities of the situation and
the plans for improvement, and he sug-
gested that he get report from Gen.
Kingman, chief Of engineers, on the
subject, and, when that Is submitted,
that ne have another conference with
the visiting committee.
At his suggestion Gen. Kingman and
Col. Edgar Jadwin, one of his assistant
engineers, were called into the con-
ference to throw light on some of the
questions that arose.
Following the conference Secretary
iarrison announced that no action had
been taken beyond calling on the chief
OF engineers for a report, and that no
conclusion had been reached as to the
particular question as to whether the
matter should be presented to Congress
by the War Department or by the Dis
