UTILITIES VALUES
REVISION IS SEEN
W. R. E. Co., Capital Traction
and Gas Light Company
Cases to Come Up.

Early revision of the vaiua tons of the
Washington Railway and Electric Co.
the Capital Traction Co. and the Wash
ington Gas Light Company doomed today
as sequence TO the settlement reached
Saturday in the long disputed Potomac
Electric Power Co. case.
Each of these other companies has
suits pending in the District Supreme
Court against the appraisal made of
their properties by the Utilities Commits
sion. which have never been tried for
the reason that the power company case
was regarded as a test.
Other Cuses Studied.
Maj. w. L. II. CoveiI. assistant to
the Utilities Commission, today began
a study Of the status of railway and
gas company cases and indicated that
they might also be adjusted out Of
court In the same way that the cleo
trio light litiga ton vas ended.
II is practically certain that the
valuations of the other companies
mentioned will have to be Increased
to some extent. When the District
Court of Appeals decided the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. case II held
that the commission erred in its fix
ing Of fair value.
were followed in all the valuation
cases, II appears likely that the ad-
justments now will be upward.
Rate Eject Unknown.
Whether the revising of these
other valuations VIII have any effect
on existing rates for street car serv-
ice aud gas, no one was prepare
to predict today.
he III Do
trio Co. is now. earning a return
OF a fraction above per cent on
the commissions estimate OF fair
value and the Capital Traction S
present rate of return is something
under per cent.
II the adjustments which must be
made in valuations are upward the
rates of return of the car companies
would be less. This would give the
car companies stronger grounds on
which to apply for a higher fare, but
officials RETAINED today from discus
sing this question. since II Is one that
Will not arise until the valuations
have first been corrected
The question of rates for street car
and gas service is not as closely tie6
into the valuation settlements as IL
the case Of the power company. For
while the other companies contested
their valuations in court, they did no
go to court against the rates thai
have been fixed by the commission
since the valuations were announced
Should no steps be taken soon look
ing to an adjustment of the other
valuations out of court. 1t was indi-
Gated today that the Capital Trac.
ton Company probably would en-
deavor to have its case brought VI
for hearing in court.

PERSONNEL BOARD
I STUDIES OPINION
Takes Up Stone Ruling on
Publication of Efficiency
Ratings.

The Personnel Classification Board
met today to consider rules and reg
ulations to carry out a new opinion
Of Attorney General Stone on the
matter of publicity of efficiency rat
ings for $4,000 Government employees
in the District of Columbia.
The substance of the Attorney
Generals opinion was kept a secret
by the board, which announced after
the meeting that no statement as
to what may be contained in the
new rules will be made until after
they are adopted. This is expected
to take place at meeting Wednes-
day morning.
The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral on the subject was requested by
the Classification Board recently in
letter to Mr.. Stone on account of
the wide diversity of opinion among
departmental chiefs as to the extent
Of publicity thought required by the
law.
Urged to Open Tests.
When the board was confronted
with the difficult problem of deciding
how to interpret the law in this re-
spect, 1t called into conference rep
resentatives OF all the departments
and establishmen of the Govern
ment in order to get their Views. At
this conference a free expression was
ELECTED and II developed that sew
eral shades of opinion existed as to
how far each department or appro-
priatiou unit should go in making
public the results of the new eff
cheney rating. So involved did the
problem seem that the board submit
ted the matter to the Attorney Cen
eral. whose opinion was studied in
formal meeting by the board today
for the first time.
The classification act in it's section
concerning publicity Of ratings says:
1.-THE current ratings for each grade
or class thereof shall be open to
inspection by the representatives of
the board and by the employees of the
department under conditions to be
determined by the board after con-
sultation with the department heads"
Serious objection developed on the
part of some persons to throwing
the lists wide open to all, while on
| the other hand II was the majority
OF opinion that each person should

G3 been so happy-so very happy.
Even now, though it was three years
ago, she had but to close her eyes
to see the old house. and the belt of
tress. and wonderful sloping lawns.
David held out his shand.
Write and tell me when you have
made up your mind" he said.
Her fingers shook in his kind,
friendly grasp. She knew that al
ready she wished to make up her
mind, knew that she would sacrifice
anything to go back there, even if
just for one day-one week. But she
did not tell him so now. and present
ly he went away, leaving her alon,
once more. -
All day long the torment Of what
she wanted to do haunted her; she
even found herself weighing up the
probable chances of discovery. They
were so very small.
So~few people who had known
Nigel as one of the BrethertOns of
the Red Grange had ever known him
after his marriage in London. And
Dolly had never been a girl to make
friends; she had dropped almost en-
tirely out of her own set when she
married. in the hope that Nigel's
circle would take her up. When she
found that such a hope was vain. she
had not troubled to create a world of
her own.
And now she was on the other side
Of the world. She might never come
back. and even if she did-well, she
was no longer Mrs. Nigel Bretherton.
And ! loved him best

He walked beside her soberly; he
had noticed that she wore mourning,
and wondered If this strange coin
cidence had brought about a second
tragedy in her life. So many dread
