P[ANPOTOMAC.
POWER PLANT.
Baltimore Engineers Acquire
Riparian Rights on River and
! Consider Development.

Baltimore engineers are consider
ing the feasibility Of erecting a
power plant on the Potomac RIVER
taking advantage Of the natural re.
sources provided by the water and
land.
NEW PLANT PROPOSED.
The proposed plant would be
erected within q four-mile point from
the District line on the Maryland side.
It is proposed also to erect twenty
two foot dam across the Potomac al
High Island which is q little distance
beyond the District line In Maryland
and to erect a sixty-five foot dam at
Mackinac Island, which is a little be-
yond the tenth lock on the c. and ..
canal. This Is the first time that en-
gineers have proposed erecting
plant on the Potomac at any point
except at Great Falls.
The offer to purchase the land was
made to Leyland Barton, a Washing
ton attorney, with offices at 63l F
street northwest. Mr.. Barton, who Is
a cousin OF the late Clara Barton. of
Red Cross fame. obtained a patent on
ten islands in the Potomac in 1915
from the governor OF Maryland.
The islands aggregate about 200
acres and stretch for four miles
along the river from the District
line. These islands have been un-
claimed for more than century. 1t
is said, and several years ago, Mr.
Barton. learning that no one had
title to them filed a claim with the
governor of Maryland at Annapolis
and in 1916 a patent was given him
on the ten islands.
The islands are known. as Coronado
Dnl- tnt oil Nd
Clara Barton Island. Philippine
Island. Association Island. Robinson
Crusoe Island. Preside Island. and
Mackinac Island.
GIVES RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
According to Mr.. Barton and the
Baltimore engineers the sale Of the
Islands would give riparian rights
to the owners Of the proposed power
igable at that point the army en-
gineers would have no jurisdiction
over 1t.
1t Is claimed by the Baltimore
engineers whose identity Mr.. Barton
is keeping secret, that a power plant
could be erected at low figure
at the points they visited and by
building low dams would inundate
less land than il tho dams were
much higher.
They claimed that the height Of
the dams would be sufficient to
obtain power and light for the Dis
trict and the surrounding country
and that they could supply 1t at a
much lower price than the Wash
dngton Railway and Electric Com
pany Is now doing.

ASK HALFF FARE
FOR CHILDREN
Citizens Association Petition
Congress for Legislation to
Permit Concession.

Proponents of the plan for cheaper
street car fares for tho school chill
dren Of Washington today appcrled
to Congress for legislation which
will enable the Public Utilities Com
mission to adopt this plan. This fol-
lows the announcement made by the
Commission recently that it has TO
authority to lower the rate Of fares
for school children, as it cannot dis
criminate between classes Of car rid
ers.
POINT At PRECEDENTs.
In the petition submitted to Con-
gress today by j. c. Wright. supported
by citizens associations and civic or
CARNATIONS, 1t is. pointed out that
seventy-six cities in twenty-seven
States have special carfrae rates for
school children. ranging from to D
cents. The petition states that the
carfare for school children in the Dis
trict of Columbia Ia from 80 to 200 per
cent more than the carfare for school
children Of the seventy-six cities re-
corded In the survey given, three OF
which are larger than Washington
and twenty-five OF them having a
population of more than 100000.
I'm other words. the children OF
Washington are required to pay a
regular full carfare of 12h per cent
to 37h per cent more than the regu-
lar full carfare obtaining in nifty
five of the seventy-six cities having
special carfare for school children"
the petition states.
REQUEST HALF FARE.
Congress is asked to provide a half
fare for local school children, or not
less than six tickets for a quarter.
At the present rate 1t costs rs cents
a week to send a child to and from
school by the cars. At the proposed
rate Of six tickets for u quarter 1t
would cost a shade less than ~ cents.
This Is a difference of about 80 cents
week, or about $40 during the
school year. 1t Is estimated that
the added cost above the former rate
Of six tickets for a quarter Is about
$12 a year for each child.
The petition states that In ten
cities the reduced fares for school
children was the result OF voluntary
action by the car companies, In seven
cities by agreement between the car
companies and the board Of educa-
ton, by State law in Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and Texas and by the
public utilities commission in six
cities.
