SYRUP AS LOW AS &c
ON MOULTRIE MARKET

MOLUTRIE, Nov. 8.-Syrup is
selling on the Moultrie market for %
cents a gallon in barrels, as low a
point as it has touched within the
memory of the present generation.
The better grades are selling for 25
cents q gallon. Syrup in bottles and
cans bring more. The cane crop this
year was nearly ruined by the dry
weather, but the carry-over from last
yeas crop is said to have been enor-
nous. The acreage given to the crop
this year was also much larger than
it was in 1920 and the total produc-
tion of syrup will almost equal last
years.
Many farmers declare that they
will not market their syrup because
of the low prices prevailing for il
but will use it for feed, mixing il
with. other products.

z0N|NG REGULATION
CHANGES SOUGHT
Commercial Growth Of City
Seen in Applications Be-
fore Commission.

Washington's commercial growth
during the last few months is shown
by number of applications for
changes in the coming regulations.
which will be considered by the zon-
ing commission at a hearing to be
held in the boardroom of the Munci-
pal building at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning.
One Of the principal applications
calls for the designation as second
commercial area of the major portion
of two blocks between New Hamp-
shire avenue and 23d street and north
of NJ street. There are a number of
garages in this neighborhood and an
expansion of the area for further de-
velopment of this sort is desired.
Other applications which will be
taken up at the hearing propose a
first commercial rating for 1st street
from ID street to North Carolina ave-
nue. southeast: an extension of the
first commercial area on kalorama
road between 18th street and On
tario road: an extension of the first
commercial area on Z street south of
the Mall; first commercial designa- =
ton for both sides of 35th street be-
tween n and 0 streets, in George
town; extension of the second COM
mercial Zone along the railroad tracks
in Takoma Park, and extension of the
first commercial area at 10th and L

The committee has taken the DO
sition that even the matter of rates

son.
1.-The charge has been made of in
efficiency. At the street railway
hearing Thursday William F. Ham.
president of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, put the Pub
lie Utilities Commission on notice that
they should take cognizance of this
charge and come to a conclusion one
way or another.
THE complaint has been made that
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany has never been permitted to
earn a sufficient return to warrant
the outlay for necessary improve
ments and to meet the ever-increas-
ing demands for service. 1t is the be-
lief of the committee that such relief
should be afforded the Washington
Railway and Electric Company as
would enable it to give proper service
not only today, but in the future. 1t

II it is in the mind of the Public
Utilities Commission the company is
not equipped to give the service while
