Maryland Commission Counsel Sees
Demands for Higher Rates
Forcing Ownership.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. August II. - The
public utilities of Maryland, through
their own actions, are heading the
people of the State rapidly toward
public ownership, according to Will
lam M. Maloy. peoples counsel OF
the Public Service Commission.
Mafoy, who has been chairman Of
the Committee on Corporations of the
House OF Delegates, Senator and
chairman Of the Public Service COM
mission. made the statement before
the Maryland Public Utilities Associ-
alton at Cambridge last week. He
said Maryland utilities have been ap-
plying for increased rates and pro-
ducing voluminous records, files and
exhibits prepared by expert engi-
prove that the company's operations
were resulting in loss and that it
was faced by a deficit.
But invariably, he said, when the
same company undertakes the issu-
ance of a new block of securities a
statement is broadcast over the sig
nature of the president of the com
pany showing what remarkable
bright financial future the company
has Such a course is not only in
consistent but improper. he said. For
a time the pubic was confused ana
befogged by this course, he said, but
public sentiment is developing
which is going to demand an end to
that sort of thing and when that
happens it will inevitably lead to the
abolition of the Public Service Com
mission and the taking over of the
ownership and operation of Maryland
utilities by the people of Maryland.

He said Maryland utility companies
are taking the position that the Pub
lie Service Commission is a judicial

VIRGINIA FARM WOMEN
WIN DOMESTIC CONTEST
Old House, Repaired and Furnish
ed, Given First Place in "Bet-
ter Homes Week"

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, August
11.-An old, unoccupied house, re-
paired and furnished by a group of
farm women in Albemarle County,
Va as demonstration to aid other
farm women in improving their
homes, has been given first place for
a home in a small community in the
recent Better Homes week contest in
which more than I 900 communities
in all parts of the country contested.
There was no thought of entering
the national contest when the: house
was given its rejuVenation. For some
time the farm women of Virginia have
wanted to continue the home i'm
provement work begun in the kitchen
improvement contests carried on in
1922 and 1923 under the direction of
extension workers comparatively en-
ployed by the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
; Charlottesville was selected for the
loca ton because of its accessibility
from all parts of the county. Here
the women found an unoccupied brick
house which. although within the city
limits. was built on the plan of many
Virginia farm homes, four rooms and
narrow hall on the first floor, four
rooms and another hall on the second
floor There was no lighting or water
system or other conveniences in the
house. Its owner, who is much inter-
ested in extension work.. gave the
women permission to make any use
of the house they desired.
Their first step was to clean the
grounds and restore the lawn and
paintings. The walls and floors were
cleaned and repaired, the women
doing a large share Of the patching
and painting themselves. The buSi-
ness men of Charlottesville were in
terested in the enterprise and con-
tributed toward it's accomplishment.
Electric lights and running water
were installed by plumbing and cleo
trio firms; furniture, draperies and
other furnishings, including kitchen
range and utensils, china; linens, pic
lures, magazines and books in the
stock of the merchants were placed
at the committees disposal for use
without cost. When everything was
in order the doors were opened to
visitors.
