SAYS DISTRICT ruling
BOOSTS OYSTER Price
Admiralty Attorney Declares High Cost
Is Due to Sealer's Regulation.

The lowly oyster is a big factor in the
high cost Of living in this city. II is
the object Of much questioning now on
account Of increased prices citizens have
to pay. It II all traceaDle. according 70
Edgar Leedy, an admiralty attorney, Of
lz2I B street southwest, 70 an arbitrary
ruling OF the Sealer Of Weights and
Measures Of the District
Before last September oysters were 10
cents cheaper a bushel than today. They
weree measured In bushel measures. Then
a ruling Of the Sealer of Weights and
Measures was announced, requiring mar
ket men TO measure the food in Win
chester half bushels"
This requirement, according to Mr.
Leedy, who has made a probe OF condi-
lions. makes Washington citizens pay
more and the middleman gets the profit.
Here lie an illustration he gives Of the
way the people are put out OF pocket:
Market buyers buy oysters on the
river from river fishermen in bushel
measures II a buyer gets 800 bushels he
sells them TO the consumer as 237 bushels.
The oyster shucker has to sell at the
latter measure and is forced to raise the
price 10 cents per bushel to break even.
Mr.. Leedy states.
Many law suits have arisen over this
new system Of measurement, according
to Mr. Leedy, and strong opposition TO
the ruling is developing among the trade
and among consumers.

Entertainment FUND
AS FRANCHISE FACTOR
Electric Power Company Expert Tells
of Appeal to Social Instinct.

Entertainment" for the purpose OF
procuring a public utility franchise in a

light by Corporation Counsel syme in
questioning Expert Harold Almert. OF the
Potomac Electric Power Company, at a
hearing before the Public Utilities Com

regarding the meaning OF certain items
in his estimate Of what il would cost TO
duplicate the power plant here. and espe-
ctally that OF SO, SO, which was included
in Mr.. AlInert's estimate for legal or
ganization and franchise expenses"
The announcement that some OF this
huge sum, representing what the experts
agree is about $4,000 per year. was used
for the entertaining Of persons who
could not otherwise be interested in
the proposition for such a franchise
caused a stir at the hearing
Mr.. Almert said IL is a known fact that
money must be spent for the purpose OF
securing favorable action and for eX-
pediung action, both through publicity
campaigns and for entertaining those
whose influence would be helpful. and by
indirect and sometimes even by direct
contributions of cash. stock and other
considerations for assistance.
