The practice adopted by a local

gar is within the law and does not
conflict with any existing Federal

William r. Ham. president of the
company. replied in this manner:
when application is received from
a perspective consumer for the supply
CT electric service to premises to
which we have no adjacent conduits
an investigation is made as to the
probable current consumption and the
cost Of making the necessary extern
sion. II we feel that the business
would be of an extent to more than
reimburse us for the amount of max
ing the connection in a period Of three
years, and also where ii is thought
to be OF permanent nature, or where
the consumer will guarantee us re-
turns in thirty-six monthly INSTALL
'nents of the amount expended. the
extension is made without cost TO the
consumer other than the ordinary
conduit connection from curbs to the
premises.
In cases where the business is not
considered to be of a permanent ma
ture We make the extension provided

Necessary Revenue.

Referring to that portion of the
letter in which is asked What is the
minimum estimated gross annual rev.
-nue necessary to justify a free ex-
tension of serviceT it depends upon
he cost of the extension, but Il has
oeen our practice when the cost of
the extension is $50 or less to make
he extension to suppy the applicant
under our standard schedules. For
example, q consumer desiring service
and the cost Of making the extension
is $50, the consumer would be request
I'd to sign our schedule A, minimum
charge Of 81 per month for a period
of one year. Should the cost of the
extension be $3.50 there would be de-
tucted from this the sum of $50, leav-
ing an excess cost Of 5000, in which
case the consumer would be asked to
guarantee us the sum of 1888 per
month for a period of three years In
addition to the, customary guarantee
Of 81 per month, or deposit with us
the sum of $500. The conditions un-
der which extensions are made are
pretty generally outlined under our

commission within the last several
months, are to the effect that the
charges of the company for installing
electricity are too high for the aver
age family. The protests also state
the charges are excessive, that the
company IL taking advantage of the
public because IL has a monopoly.

The District Government is con-
cerned nthe matter. Snowden Ash
ford. municipal architect. recently
was preparing to have electricity in
stalled IN the Towers and Bradley
schools, located at Eighth and c
streets southeast and Thirteen-and-
one-haif street and G street south
west. respectfully. Mr.. Ashford made
application to the company and was
notified to either deposit a certain
amount TO insure the company
against loss. or to agree 10 pay a GER
tain amount each month for three
years. Under the law this cannot be
done.
Soon after the District refused to
agree to either of thess plans, the
Potomac Company agreed to install
electricity in the schools and decide
on the cost at the coming public
hearing.
Another case in which the public is
greatly interested is in the attempt
to have electricity installed in homes
IN Bryant and Adams street north
west, from North Capitol to Second
street. The company estimated the
cost for one house at more than 5000.
In several other sections Of the city
the company has asked property own
srs to make deposits ranging from
800 to $500, or to pay the amount in
installments. The company. however,
agrees to return this amount IL the
business in that section of the city
enables II to make 4 profit.
Walter c. Allen, executive secre-
tary to the commission. said today
the company has the right to refuse
to extend its mains. .Under present
regulations IL is entirely optional
with the company to extend it's serv-
ice or not as they wish. regardless
Of the need of electricity in certain
sections or buildings" he said
When q steady now of complaints

"Panthea, Won Stroheim shot de-
