COURT TO SETTLE
ELECTRIC
Pepco Brings Case Before
District Supreme Bench
For Hearing. :

Court action on tae recent order
OF the Public Utilities Comm .ssion
cutting electric rates 3 per cent has
been set for tomorrow morning be-
fore Judge Adolph A. HoehiinE Of
the District Supreme Court.
At that time the Potomac Electric
Power Company will argue why the
cut should not be permitted. The
ecinpany will base their argument
o. the decision Of the Court OF Ap-
peals which overruled the District
Supreme Court when q cut was
made in 1917. That case is now be-
fore the U. S. Supreme Court. and Q
decision Is expected in the near fu-
ture.
The Public Utilities Commission
argues that the present cot is
merely a reduction in the raise al
lowed in 1890 In the rates for
wholesale electricity. This raise
was cut 5 per cent in 1921 and the
present cut Of per cent still leaves
the rate for wholesale consumption
higher thar in 1917.
1t is the position OF the commits
sion that the money represented by
the recent cut should not be i'm
pounded but that the actual cut
should be allowed. The case aris-
, ing in 1917 led to an order impoUnd.
ing the difference until the case
had been settled in court.
