noon session to the effect that relations
between the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Potomac EIec-
trio Power Company had been set forth m
a recent contract which had not been
brought to the attention of the commits
sion. This information was brought out
as result of questioning by members, of
the commission. The contract. it was testi-
fed to by Vice President Ham. was exc
cuted in May of this year
Corporation Counsel Synne asked Mr..
Ham what was the cause of the CONCEAL
ment or failure of the company to bring
this matter to the attention of the COM
mission
Il do not believe there has been any
concealment,' said Mr.. Ham. I'VE took
pains to have incorporated in this rec
ord the testimony in the case involving
the joint production of power of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Potomac Electric
Power Company, and this contract has
simply reduced into precise terms the
notifications concerning which I testi-
fed in the joint production case"
