CITY ADMINISTRATION
TAKES UP FRANCHISES
Plays First Card In Game 10 Cold
Deck the Public Service e.
Corporation,
A NEW "PAGE" is TURNED
Heading Between the Lines IL APP
pears Coupaiie- IL 10
% Be Attempted.

Through City Attorney John II,
Woodard. the new city admlnistra-
ton yesterday played Its first card
In the franchise game. In n state
ment TO the commissioners Mr..
Woodard said that many citizens
In various parts ot the city are pro-
testing against the attitude OF the
Public Service corporation with re-
spect TO furnishing them electrical
service, and he recommended that
the commissioners serve notice on
the company that service must be
furnished or n petition Will be filed
with the corporation commission OF
the state asking for the appointment
OF a receiver. He also asked that
a conference he held with the Pub
llo Service officials and that the
matter be checked up to them on
that basis.
Basis OF Complaints.
The alleged protesta against th'
company, 1t is said, are caused BY
the fact that tho company will not
make extensions TO new districts
which are only partially settled, un-
less tile user pays part OF the cost
Of the extension. AS a matter OF
fact and in falpness to all corpora
lions. there IL d lot of extension work
which should be done which has not
been put In for two or three reasons,
chief among which is the shortage
Of the skilled labor necessary and
the difficulty in getting materials,
The "Nigger'' of 1t All.
But, aside from the matter Of
getting service, the commissioners
and another interest are evidently
going TO specialize in the matter OF
Franchises, in which event we can
look for some real developments.
The Public Service lines do not cover
the city. We are all aware OF that
but neither do the Page wires offer
the REQUIRED service about which
the commissioners ARE copcerned.
Yes. franchises are going to be an
interesting subject with
the new administration. Probably
tho city attorney has long had this
valuable work in mind but he has
lust now found the time 20 take the
matter up for adjustment.
IL is difficult 20 get telephone
service in the new district& too, but
Mr.. Woodard has only time for one
deep subject at a time. and besides
Mr.. PAGE has no particular Interest
In the telephone business.
The first card In the game has not
been thoroughly Inspected yet but
It may turn out that 1t comes from
marked deck.

Ediforiat

Ediforiat
1t isn't so very hard to have
common sense, but uncom-
mon sense-there's the rub.
Uncommon sense is the trait
that gives one an almost
uncanny knowledge of
what is to come or is to be.
1t is that in a woman who sees
the prices of certain COM
modities going UP and UP
which prompts her to sup
ply her needs accordingly.
1t is the knowledge of fair and
honest treatment received
at certain stores which
causes her to so there time
after time to make her fam
lily purchases.
1t took uncommon sense in the
men who founded this bust
ness to establish it on the
principles that have made
it one OF Washington's
leading establishments.
And it takes uncommon sense
for the present management to
keep prices down to the mod
crate level for which this store
is famous, in spite OF the con-
stantly rising market.

MORE COAL BY c. & 0.
CANAL PROVIDED FOR
Increased Transportation by This
Means, McAdoo's Plan.

Greater utilization Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal for the trans
portation of coal will result shortly
from developments being made In
the transportation facilities Of the
canal, discussed at a meeting yes
terday Of Director General Of Rail-
roads McAdoo and his fellow men,
bers of the Railroad Administra-
ton.
The Developments. consisting main
ly of the building and placing in
service as soon as possible of many
new boats, will be made by the
canal company and not with funds
OF the Railroad Administration. The
majority of the stock of the canal
company is in the hands of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. through
which the canal is controlled by the
Railroad Administration.
The Consolidation Coal Company,
Of Cumberland, will build. own and
load the new boats, thereby proyid-
ing for the full utilization of the
canal as a coal carrier. without neces-
stating the direct control and ad-
ministrajon OF the canal by the
Railroad Administration.
All the available boats on the canal
are now in operation. hauling coal
from Cumberland to Williamsport,
Georgetown, and as far as Indian
Head.

WORLD RECORD IN

Half Total U-Boat Loss.

Evidences that the shipbuilding pro-
gramme Of this government is really
under way and gaining Is furnished
by the daily reports to the U. s.
shipping Board. More than three
ships a day came last week from the
shipyards of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation.
Ten steel ships were completed and
delivered. and fourteen wood and
steel ships launched. The deliveries

Among the new vessels was the col
lier Tuckahoe which was put into
commission 81 days after the laying
of her keel. This is worlds record
in shipbuilding.
On Saturday, four wooden ships
were launched. this being the third
time during the present month when
four vessels of this type were launch
ed in a single day. The total number
of wood ships launched in May to
date is p.
The completed ships turned over to
the Shipping Board during the week

contract steel. including four vessels
Of more than 5000 tons each.
