Ham Heard on Depreciation.
The commission was still delving
today into the intricacies of deprecia- :
ton William F. Ham. president of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. occupied the witness stand
during a hearing to determine what
rate Of depreciation should be estab-
lished for the Potomac Electric Power
Company. subsidiary of the railway
concern.
Mr.. Ham contended power companies
require the largest depreciation rates.
He based this claim on the fact that
electricity is still in a state Of devel-
opment and new inventions and equip
ment constantly are being placed on
the market which made much exist
ing equipment obsolete before it has
been used for the length of time con-
TEN plated when it was purchased. The
railway head said accrued deprecia-
tion for the Potomac company UP to
June /, this year. amounted to S2,016,-
S79.75.
In its decision in the telephone
case yesterday. continuing existing
, rates to February 2s next. the COM
| mission referred to the company 8
showing that its earnings on fair
valuation during the year ended May
81 last. was but 4.s6 per cent.
.Fair and Reasonable
'The evidence shows. and the COM
mission believes" states the order

| in business during the coming year,
with possibly further reductions in
operating costs. will enable the COM
! pany to earn a larger but not un-
| reasonable rate of return at the
present rates. These rates. the COM

f; sonable and should be continued for

| The order refers to the petition Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa- :
| tions that the company abandon the
present monthly settlement basis for

the more equitable of the two.
