new BUS ROUTE
PRIVILEGE DENIED
Utilities Commission Holds
Proposed Line Would ParaI-
lei Trolley Tracks.

The application of the United
Transportation Company to establish
a new bus line in Washington. from
18th street and Maryland avenue
northeast to 21st and 3 streets north
west, was denied by the Public Utili-
ties Commission today.
The commission declared that II
there was a demand for service on
that route 1t should be operated in
conjunction with the street railway
service, with transfer privileges be-
tween street cars and busses.
First Application.
This was the first application filed
by the new company, one of the Of
flcers of which is w. Elkins Reed
former president of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company.
''The sections Of the District to be
served by this motor bus line" the
commission said, ''lie entirely within
the built-up portion Of the city and
are now adequately served by the
existing street railway lines. The
testimony shows that the running
time of the busses may be less be-
tween certain points than is the case
with the street railways. but the
route OF the busses practically paral-
lels the street car lines and would be
in direct competition with them.
Policy Maintained.
1.-THE commission has announced the
policy regarding the establishment of
motor bus lines and recently reiterated
it's position at length in order No.
492. holding that the legitimate field
for bus service does not lie in the
multiplication Of lines or of vehicles
reaching the heart Of the city, but
rather in providing service in the ex-
tension Of the street car lines into
territory so thinly settled as not to
justify the large investment necessary
for street railway service. The COM
mission is of the opinion that no evil
dence has been presented in this case
to show the need for this competitive
bus service and that the interest Of the
general public does not warrant favor
able action on the application

ELECTRIC COMPANY
REPORTS EARNINGS
Return Of 9.38 Per Cent
Shown During Eleven
Months This Year.

The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany earned a return OF 9.3s per cent
during the first eleven months Of this
year. according to statement given
Col. Keller today by thu Public Utili-
ties Commission, Of whiSh he Is chair
man.
This return Is based on the rates
which the commission allows the
company to charge. The statement
shows that If. the company had been
permitted to keep the; money which
is set aside during the period in COM
pliance with the order of'the District
Supreme Court, the return on fair
value would have been:14. per cent.
ss.ooo.ooo Impaunded.
The commission informed Col.
Keller that the amount thus set aside
by the company during the past
eleven months for refund to con-
sunsers in the event the commissions
valution finally is sustained by the
courts was $S24,4S2.7s. This makes
more than 100000 now being held
by the company for refund In case it
loses the pending court suit.
This money has been piling up since
1917, when the company filed objection
iE the District Supreme Court to the
value placed on its property by the
commis ission. In that year the COM
mission, on the basis of its valuation.
ordered the rate for current reduced
from 10 to 8 cents per kilowatt hour
The court enjoined the commission
from enforcing the reduced rate. but
required the company to impound the
difference between the 10 cents COL
lected and the cents which the CONF
mission regarded as a fair charge.
The case is now before the United
States Supreme Court.
The statement made public by Col.
Keller today shows the operating
revenues of the power company up to
December l were $4,610,S31.7S.
Figures in Report.
Operating expenses, taxes and de-
probation amounted to $2.991,362.O4.
This left income available for return
on fair value of $1,61s.46s.75. The
commission gives the present weight
ed fair value as $1S.s35.S03.s4. This
makes the rate OF return 9.3S per
cent.
Inc statement 20 Sol. NeAieA wa
cluded with this reference:
The above figures are based upon
the rates established by the commits
sion. If the amount set aside for re.
fund to customers during this period
(Ss24,4S27S) be added to the income
available for return. the annual rate
of return on the above fair value for
the eleven months becomes 14.15 per
cent, as against 11.3s per cent for the
corresponding eleven months OF 1921.
Col. Kellar was not prepared today
to commit himself as to whether
revision of electric light rates would
be considered at this time on the
basis of the report.
The commission at its next meeting
probably will discuss the companys
earnings to decide whether 1t Is ad-
yisable to consider a rate change with
the entire matter of the company's
finances pending before the Supreme
Court.
