WANTS D. c. HEADS
ON UTILITIES BOARD
Maj. Bell Points to Their Ex-
perience and Need of
First-Hand Information.

Engineer Commissioner Bell last
night made public a statement ex-
planning why he believes the District
commissioners should continue as
members ofIthe Public Utilities Com
mission rather than have a complete
ly independent utilities board.
The budget bureau approved Maj.
Bells bill, providing for the appoint
ment of two new men to serve with
the three city Commissioners on the
utilities board. The measure will go
10 Congress this week for introduc-
tion.
Since drafting the bill the sugges-
tion has been advanced in some
quarters that the District heads be
entirely eliminated as utility COM
mi SSioners and that d utilities board
OF three be created.
Under Maj. Bells plan one of the
new members of the existing commits
sion would be a lawyer and would
serve as chairman. The other would
be an engineer.
Text of Statement.
Here is the statement of the En-
Einecr Commissioner in support of
his plan:
1T has been suggested that the District
commissioners be relieved from duty on
the Public Utilities Commission and
that a business man be Gppointe1 as
. third member, thus forming body
entirely independent of the Beard Cf
District Commissioners. The District
commissioners would all welcome re-
iIet from this onerous duty, but the
advantages and disadvantages should
DC considered carefully.
There seems to be little to be said
IN favor of having five Commissioners
*lt at public hearings, which are often
iong and involve lengths legal argu-
lnentS. The chair, the engineer and
one District Commissioner should pre-
Side at such hearings. At court cases
congressional conferences. etc the
representation of the commission
should be whatever is deemed suit
able.
Many Orders Issued.
M the executive sessions however
many orders are issued relative to
'hangeS in car stops, the installation
OF loading platforms and markers
additions to the service, changes in
'rosS-oNers, changes in equipment
etc. Many of.there orders affect mat
ters pertaining to the highway. po-
ice. lire and other departments or
the traffic board. If the Commits
SIoners were not present Il might
Wei happen that the Public Utilities
A.
tive to such matters that would CON
met SO seriously with the interests of
some department of the District gov
ernment that it would be inadvisable
70 put II INTO effect. Such Il supposition
Is not at all visionary. As an evan
pie, there are before Congress &C.
casionally bills for the closing of
streets, which on their face appear
nnobJectionaDle, but when considered
bE the Board of Commissioners. they
are found to interfere seriously with
lhe existing or proposed deveIopments
TOT traffic or of the sewer. water and
electrical departments that enact
ment would be inadvisahIe.
Inc present Commissioners are
familiar with what has been dom
heretofore. They should remain ms
members for the present to see f. II
tnat well considered precedents are
ioIioWed and that the interests of All
Gcpartments of the District govern
mcnt are given due consideration

The Pennsylvania railroad, accord

greater comfort, convenience and

No Danger of Mfx-Ups.
Now, instead of wildly trying to

the right berth it will make no differ

The worst he will run into, if he

travelling man from Kokomo. who
will swear at him and thoughtfully

All male readers will agree that
the stag" car sounds like something
great on wheels. There is no reason
any longer for keeping the green
curtains at all.
Take 'em all down, porter" the
gang may cry. "let the winds of
heaven sweep cinders into our lungs

No more will weary business men

These are real stag sleepers. In

agent who forgets will find himself in

Sly gents will no longer be able to

a stag sleeper, one suspects, will
be a fine thing, as far as il goes, but
probably will be filled with cigar smoke

 WINNER OF DOLLAR
Swanson and Boardman Poetry
 Pretty Good--Explanation

The Judge of Want Ad poems has repeatedly asked for short poems. and he, being human and apt to err, gives the prize to a poem of many lines. Now, just to reward one who have adhered closely to the rules the Judge hereby, awards the the dollar prize to D. kronholm Of 41S Ellis St, this city and with the dollar gives the compli ments for submitting something ''snappy."
 The contest is going on at a rapid ''ciip" about 70 poems day are com ing in. and everybody is having a good time. Mir. klingberg called at : the court today and the sl was deliv- cred to him as per request. The Judge has yet to find a Salvation Army man to deliver the $l for Mrs. Patterson. Mir. Swanson and Mir. Boardman, two Of our old friends. have submit ted some good poetry for which the Judge will thank them profusely but not mind you, give them the dollar this trip. Confidentially, they like to write poems. and the Judge kind of likes to inflict their poems on the public. fThat isn't generally known, so don't tell them about it.) Here goes for the poems:--
 If your thoughts are soaring high, And for a radio set you sigh, Broadcast your desires today To Spring & Buekley--no delay. Young man, you're not happy, you're not popular.
 You tread on their toes and their pleasure you mar,
 Learn the new steps from Steinhaus in dancing,
 You'll soon find out that life is en- trancing.
