Up and Several Recon-
mendations Made.

order raising the rate. Of gas from
S1.2S to $1.32 per 1000 cubit feet is
contained in a letter yesterday from

larged or clarified. In submitting

tions which challenged the legality
of the commissions action.
The request was turned over to
Corporation Counsel Francis H.
Stephens, who, submitted to Engi-
neer Commissioner Col. Charles W.
recommendations concerning the
tions. Upon these suggestions the
commission based its replies to the
following questions, the nature of
which has not been made public:
did the commission in the order
fix and establish a rate of return on
the physical property of the re-
spective gas light companies, and. II
so. has the commission the power to
do so?
Did the commission guarantee a
rate of return to the several COM
panies, and, IL so, has 1t the power
or right to do so?
Did the commission. in promul-
eating the rate OF s1.32 from No
vember /, 1920. pour Into said rate
a claimed deficiency Of the company
on its rate returns for the five
months preceding the first OF No
vember, 1920, and. IL the commission
so did. has 1t the power and right,
by indirection or otherwise to es-
tablish a retroactive rate?
did the commission order said
rate as applying to private con-
sumers exclusively and. IL so, what
warrant in law has the commission
In so doing?

ON JAY WALKING
Automobile Association
Head Tells How Buffalo
Ordinance Works.

e Legislation forbidding jay-walk-
ing and additional restrictions
around the granting Of drivers Ii
censes were urged yesterday by A.
e. Batchelder. executive chairman
American Automobile Association, in
a letter to Representative Frederick
N. Zihlman; chairman of the sub
committee on traffic of the House
District Committee. A copy of the
ordinance regulating jay-walking in
Buffalo. N. Y. accompanied the lat
ter.
There is no question" said
Batchelder, but what the real be-
ginning is to separate vehicles and
foot passengers whenever possible.
Until that is done 1t is practically
impossible to get anywhere.
TT would seem to US that 1t would
be necessary for Congress to take
similar action in order to make posi-
lively legal any such provision in
the District regulations.
There is no question but what
there has been laxity in the issuing
of licenses in the District
The clause in the Buffalo ordi-
nance regulating pedestrians, reads
as follows:
THE carriageway Of all streets
except at cross walks or points so
specifically designated by the chief
of police, by easily visible signs or
markings. are for the exclusive use
of vehicles and animals and it shall
be unlawful for any person to cross
the street at any point except the
cross walk or other point SO specifi-
