Opinions Were Varied.
Opinions were varied in financial
circles today regarding the decision
fanded down yesterday by Justice
Gould of the District Supreme Court
sustaining the valuation placed by
the Public Utilities Commission on the
Potomac Electric Power Company.
There were those who felt that the
part relating to the valuation of the
Companys holdings was fair. but
that the rate reduction was out of
proportion. when the present high
cost of living was taken into consid-
Grafton.
Others felt that the whole decision
both as to the valuation and rates
was rather severe on the company.
while many were reluctant to ex-
press any opinion.
Building Associations Election.
The stockholders of the Montgomery
Mutual Building and Loan Association
of Kensington. Md. recently met and
reelected the entire board of direc
tors. consisting of Eugene Jones, Will
-. Nichols. Albert s. Galley. b. w.
