This will increase the fund for 1920 to
$1,000. $1,000 having been appropriated
originally.
The budget for next year calls for
only $4,000 In this fund.
From the sprinkling department equip

Councilmen at the regular meeting
Monday evening expressed surprise when
an ordinance transferring $3.50 from

to the bridge repair fund" was intro
duced.
There is no such fund as the bridge

strued as such in either the 1920 or the
1921 budgets.
ENGINEER NOT
CERTAIN ON POINT.
When Assistant City Civil Engineer
John Elliott was asked what the S25 900
was to be spent for he stated that he did
not know exactly, but supposed 1t was
for the repair of some of the dozen or
SO bridges which are closed at the pres
ent time.

street and alley improvement fund is
not the only addition to the gas and
yapor light fund, since another $4,000
was taken out of the city civil engineer a
Inspectors salaries fund of $45, 800 and
added to it.
These additions bring the total to be
spent for electric gas vapor lights dur
ing 1920 to $1SS65S instead of SIS, 65S,
as advertised by the administration
when the 1920 budget was under con-
sideration last September.
How to reconcile this $4,000 addition
to the fund with the city civil engineer
budget statement that eve must econo-
mize in every way possible, curtail ex-
penses and live within our means DUR
ing the next year" is another little task
for those who are kept busy explaining
the Jewctt good government" regimes
shortcomings.
The city civil engineers office must
live within our means during the next
year." but the council has been called
upon within the last month to give the
engineer $500 from the office salaries
tund to the coffee account fund.-" in
creasing the latter from $3.50 to $4,000
The budget fgue of S15,760 was not
enough to ply salaries at the municipal
garage for the already mutilated street
and alley improvement fund was bled
further to the extent of $500 for this
purpose.
TAKE MORE FROM
STREET WORK FUND.
The street and alley improvement fund
was relieved of $1.s6s9s further to boil
stef up the Tomlinson Hall maintenance
fund, which originally was $4,000.
The administration failed to estimate
the needs of the sprinkling department
salaries fund by $40, since this fund
was enriched this amount by transfer
from the sprinkling department equip
ment and supplies fund.
Addition of 81 600 was made to the
city yard department salary fund from
the sprinkling department equipment and
supplies fund.

the hands of council committees is one

More IghtFor Congress on Street
Railway Merger Legislation
By BILL PRICE .

The decision of Justice Gould in the valuation appeal
of the Potomac Electric Company is Of immense value
to the House District Commttee seeking to frame egis
aon that will have the effect of compelling merger OF the
two street railway companies
One of the many things standing IN the way OF voun
tary merger of the companies the total OF which will abso
utely prevent their getting together of their accord is
the extensive claims made in appeals to the District Su
preme Court from valuations fixed by the Public Utilities
Commission Justice Goulds decision is fundamentally
sweeping in its application to the procedure and principles
involved valuations of the street railway companies
throw big light upon the whole thing and should bene
fit the Congressional statesmen wrestling with the problem
The decision practically settles the fact that many OF the
claims made by the railway companies for such items
franchise rights the Streets concevers and promoters
charges etc., will be allowed, matter who hears
the appeals
In other words neither of the companies may
pec the local courts to grant large increases in the vaua
tons of their properties from that made by the Public IT'LL
ties Commission.
So visions of large additional values to be fixed by the
courts ordered by the courts to be fixed by the Commits
sion, all of which would boost stock negotiations in
merger will have go into the discard 1t is foreseen
that whatever increases may be allowed by the courts
any, will be made up of claims that dssimlar to those
dsalowed by Justice Gould in the electric light
Congress may not want to legislate municipal owner
ship the lines That is exactly what should be done
because the situation in Washington with the Government
the largest employer of labor here and interested than
any other single institution ntoerabe and the quickest
cure is municipal ownership.
But if Congress will not do what is best it take the
next best step by providing that the two companies have
not merged voluntarily within six months after the
lof law they will be taken under strict control by the
municipality on service atcos plan, return to be paid
Them mon the valuations fixed by the Utilities Commission
this to be adjusted later in accordance with orders
decisions of the courts.
This kind of legislation will virtually compel a merger
lint if it does not the public will have little to worry about
las Il will then have to pay only of fare sufficient
cover reasonable return with fair provision for upkeep
and depreciation.
