WASHINGTON, oct. t7.-While
the various agencies of government
worked quietly today TO prepare for
any eyrntualitles that may come out
of the threatened nationwide rail-
road strike. officials made it clear
that the administration does not in

difficulties between the roads and

Peggy Hopkins Joyce. speaking

could induce her to open that door
told an Evening World reporter this
morning that $l,OOO,UOO is modest
estimate of what it will cost her hus-

marital knot which now joins him

She was quoted in a morning paper

message follows:

'"To the Legislature: / recommend
further amendments to the Public
Service Commission Law aE amend
ed by Chapter 1874 OF the laws OF
1921, so as to prescribe more def
nitely the standard Of valuation to
be applied by the commission and
thus to provide additional safeguards
N the public interest.
THE ordinary standards of physi-
cal valuation, either original or re-
production cost less depreciation. do
not meet the emergency with which
we have to deal, and physical valua-
tions, according TO any standard
that could be prescribed, will in most
cases, under existing conditions, be
grossly unfair to the public.
1T is claimed that many surface
lines in Now York City cannot be op-
Grated at profit at any reasonable
or practical fare and II will doubtless
be necessary TO discard some lines to
operate others even at a loss to pro-
vide the public the necessary service.
Any plan or any rate based on the
physical valuation Of such lines
would manifcstly be unjust to the
public.
Moreover, the rate Of fare fixed by
franchise or contract is a proper II
not an essential element TO be taken
into account in the val alton Of the
property affected. Companies which
have agreed to operate nt a scent
fare or have accepted franchises with
conditions annexed imposing a scent
fare and the investors in the securities
of such companies have no Just claim
to a va'lation Of their properties
without regard TO the average earn

expected TO make in the future at

are likely TO obtain.
