ers Question Vital in vaIu-
ing Capital Traction Co.
Mr.. G. 7. DUNLOP OBJECTS

On the eve of the expected an
nouncement by September 1 of valu-
ations for the two local traction sys-
TENS, the Public Utilities Commission,
at a hearing today, reopened the ques-
tion of the reasonableness of the price
paid by the Rock Creek Railway Com
pany, predecessor Of the Capital Trac-
tion Company, for the Washington
and Georgetown Company by inquir-
ing into the net earnings of the lat
ter concern prior to it's sale.
George T. Dunlop. attorney for the
Capital Traction Company, objected
10 the proceedings on the general
ground that arguments have been
submitted and the case is closed. He
also contended that the commission
has. no authority to consider the ne,
Georgetown company, this company
having gone out of existence and it's
sale to the Rock Creek company hav-
ing been made under the authority
and with the consent Of Congress.
Despite the objections, the commits
sion decided to continue its inquiry
II was not indicated whether it would
have the effect Of delaying the valua-
tion findings.
Says Books Do Not Show All.
Andrew Sangster, expert accountant
who conducted a historical exami-
nation of the company for the COM
mission, came back to testify as to
the Washington and Georgetown Com
pany earnings. He was examined first
by Conrad II. Syme, corporation coun-
sci
On cross-examination Mr. Dunlop
obtained from the witness an admis-
sion that there are elements besides
those contained in book figures that
should be considered in determining
whether the price paid for the WASH
ington and Georgetown concern was
reasonable or otherwise
Summed up. Mr. Dunlops conten-
tions were, first, that the case has
been definitely closed; second. that the
commission cannot go back of the
approval of Congress of the Washing
ton and Georgetown purchase. and
third, that, if the commission does go
into this feature. it must consider
more than net earnings to determine
whether the price paid for the prop
erty was fair.

The Harrison amendment to the
food control act to prevent profiteer-
ing in rents in the District of Colum-
bia, as carried in the Haugen anti
profiteering measure reported to the
Senate yesterday afternoon by the
Senate committee on agriculture, does
not have the effect of repeating the
salisbury resolution. Senator Harri-
son. author of the amendment, said
today.
The, Salisbury resolution. which
prohibits the eviction of tenants in
Washington except for non-payment
by my amendment" said Senator
Harrison. MY amendment seeks to
reach the landlord who charges ex-
cessive rents, whether the tenant be
now in his leased quarters, or
whether he is about to lease. If any
landlord charges exorbitant rents he
will be liable to trial and punishment
as provided in the bill.
'The salisbury resolution protects
only those who already are in rented
quarters. 1t in effect says that the
landlord shall not increase the rent
to any tenant in possession who pays
leased quarters who are being COM
PEELED to pay excessive rents. Under
my amendment the landlords who
charge these excessive rents may be
dealt with"
Sees No Danger to Tenant.
Senator Harrison was asked what
would happen in the case of a tenant
who was occupying an apartment or
house at lower rental than the land
lord might be justified in charging.
where the tenant had taken ad-
vantage of the Salisbury resolution
and had refused to pay higher rent
or to move out.
Il cannot see that my amendment
would have any effect to enable the
landlord to charge a higher rent or
to give him the right to evict the
tenant while the tenant claimed the
protection of the Salisbury resolu-
tion," replied Senator Harrison. MY
amendment provides penalties for
landlords charging excessive rents
