ASKS TO CONTINUE
ELECTRICITY RATE
PIE. P. Co. Files Petition for
8 1-2-Cent Rate, Though
10-Cent Rate Still Exists.
OYSTER PLAN TO COME UP
Higher Kilowatt Cost and Lower
Carfare to Be Discussed
at Hearing.
OYSTER PLAN TO COME UP

Continuation of the present rate Of
sls cents per kilowatt hour for cleo
tricity after September l is asked bv
the Potomac Electric Power Company
in a petition filed with the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday after
noon.
Inc commission had previously an
nounced that it would hold a public
nearing on electric light rates in the
boardroom Of the District building at
1880 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Commissioner Oysters plan to solve
the street railway situation by restor-
ing the electric light rate to 10 cents
per kilowatt hour and reducing the
street car fare to cents, or possibly
lower, probably will be the outstand-
ing feature Of the electric light hear
ing tomorrow.
The users Of current have never
stopped paying 10 cents per kiIlowatt
hour. but the company is required to
set aside IL cents pending settle
ment Of it's valuation by the courts.
The only effect Of carrying out the
Oyster plan would be to allow the
company to keep the full 10 cents the
public now pays and at the same time
reduce the carfare
Ham Approves Oyster Plan.
Although the power company does
not ask in its petition for the Oyster
plan. President Ham has made IT
known that he regards 1t as a feasible
solution TO the street railway prob
lem and probably will so testify if the
opportunity presents itself tomorrow.
In the petition for continuation of
existing electric rates. the power COM
pany states that operating conditions
have not materially changed.
With the exception Of unskilled la
bor other wages remain unchanged.
and the company states that it does
not anticipate an early reduction in
the pay schedule.
while there has been some change
in prices of materials in the case Of a
few commodities. such reductions
have not been sufficient in amount or
extent to reduce materially operating
expenses" the petition states.
Small Saving In Coal.
although the petitioner has been able
to effect a small saving in the item of
coal in the present contract price for
delivery at the Benning plant, as COM
pared with the average price OF the pre-
ceding year, the total reduction in oper-
ating costs therefrom amounts only to
approximately $3s,o0o. or a reduction in
the cost of production of one-fortieth of
1 per cent per killowatt hour gener-
ated."
The company presented a financial
statement showing that for the year
ended May 81, 1921. it earned 7.54 per
cent on the fair value Of its property.
The company emphasizes the necessity
for continuing also the present whole
sale rate at which current is sold to large
business and industrial establishments
under schedule E.
In conclusion, the company expresses
the belief that with the exception OF
street and park lighting, all other classes
Of users bear their proper proportion OF
the item Of coal and other operating
costs. The present schedule Of rates, the
company contends, is fair and reason.

CAR FARE HEARINGS
Sessions End and Decision
Is Not Expected Much
Before August |.
CITIZENS OFFER VIEWS
Utilities Commission Faces Puzzle
Of Giving Both Companies Fair
Profit With Equal Rate.

The Public Utilities Commission
probably will not be able to render a
decision on street car rates much be-
fore August l.. judging from the
volume OF work facing the city heads
during the next ten days
Hearings on the street car situation
were brought to a close yesterday
afternoon. when a score of citizens
representing various organizations
laid their views before the commits
sion.'
Neither the Washington Railway and
Electric Company nor the Capital
Traction Company made any closing
appeal to the commission. Both COM
panfes rested the case on the evidence
they had submitted.
A dozen different solutions to the
street car problem were suggested,
however. by the individuals and rep
resentatives of organizations who
spoke
Problem II Dimcult.
The problem before the commission
Is admittedly one of the most difficult
any public utilities commission has
faced. The evidence showed that
during the twelve months ended Nav
81 the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company earned only $50 per
cent on its valuation, which is less
than the per cent return regarded
as reasonable by the commission.
On the other hand. the testimony
disclosed that the Capital Traction
Company. for the twelve months end
ed April 80 earned a return of 1868
per cent on its valuation, which is
moro than the amount regarded as
reasonable.
The puzzle for the commission to
solve is how to give the Washington
Railway and Electric a rate that will
yield 1t per cent ST. It's valuation
and at the same time bring the Cap
ital Traction fare down to a rate that
will give that road fair return.
Urges Zone System.
The w. r. and f. contends that a
zone system would solve the prob
lem.
Commissioner Oyster believes the
fairest solution is to reduce the car
fare to cents or possibly four tokens
for 25 cents and make up the loss
which this would entail to the w. r.
and E. by restoring the 10-cent rate
for electricity.
In his closing argument for the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
William Nick. Clayton told the COM
mission it cannot avoid reducing the
fare on the lines Of the Capital Trac-
tion Company to four tokens for 25
