Appeal Sure. if Possible.

It is considered certain. however, there
will be an appeal to the federal utilities
commission proposed by President Will
son in the event such body is created.
1t was pointed out at the District
building today that in establishing the
tentative valuation of approximately
SIS. ZOO, 900 the commission did not con-
slider certain elements of valuation
which are to be taken into account when
the final rating is determined. This
means, it was stated, that the valuation
will be not less than SIS, 900, 900 in any
event. and that it may be more. The
8 per cent rate of return established in
yesterdays order also is a temporary
proposition. The commission is expect
ed to declare in favor Of per cent
rate when conditions become normal
