CAPITAL TRACTION /.
"'"''~' .
CASE TO Be PUSHED.
Ruling in Valuation Fight to-
Be Asked of Court on
Wednesday.

Justice Hitz Of the District Supreme
Court will be asked Wednesday to make
decision in a long-dormant Capital
Traction case. which, If favorable to the
street railway company, will place it in
a position to demand a higher rate Of
carfare, it was learned at the District
Building today.
The case involves a claim by the
traction company to a valuation ap-
proximately $4,000. 900 higher than that
fixed by the Public Utilities Commission
for rate-making purposes
The s5,000,000 represents an amount
Topped off the company's own estimate
of valuation by the Utilities Commits
sion when ii first undertook the valua=
tons of public utilities in the District.
The excess sum claimed by the
company involves the difference in
value of stock purchased by the
Capital Traction Co. in 1895. when #
took over the old Rock Creek Rail-
way Co, paying the latter's stock
holders 5000 a share for their hold
ings. it was explained at the Util-
tiles Commission today. The com
mission, in originally vaIuing the
company's property, held that the
new corporation paid too much fOl's
the Rock Creek Railway stock.
The valuation set on the Capit3i
Traction Co. by the commission as OF
December 81, 1924, was $16,723.S2z,
The company's original estimate %
the cost of reproduction of its sys-.
tenn in 1916 was S20911, 900. At THAI
time the commissions figures on this,
cost was Sl3.255. 900
Engineer Commissioner Bell and
Maj. w. L. r. CoveH, Public CtiIitieS
Commission expert, were marshaling
the municipalities forces today to OPP,
pose the company's case in courts
Wednesday They will seek to show
through the corporation counsel that
the original decision of the commits
sion cutting off the s5,00O,00O excess
should stand.
Maj. Covell said that should the
court decide the company should be
given the niger valuation, the rail-
way corporation would be in a posi-
tion to seek a higher car fare, and in
dicated that the commission in that
case could hardly oppose this move.

a thorough study of the food gates

from the Potomac and the gates used

During the past several years
chlorine has been placed in the water

believed many fish were driven from

will be no further need for purifying
the water with the discontinuance OF
the bathing beach, and Mr. Leech de-
clares he knows of no other place
that fish would receive the needed
protection.
Suggested BY Stars Expert.
With the elimination of the bath
ing beach at the south end of the
basin and the cancel alton of CON
struction of the new lighthouses
Col. Sheriff. was approached b,
Perry Miller. fishing editor of The
Star, with the statement that this
body of water was a natural home
for the plymouth bass and could be
utilized for no better purpose than te
allow the followers Of Izaak Walton
20 whip its waters for the prize
game fish, crappies and sunfish
Col. Sheriff. expressed enthusiasm
over the proposal and followed It UT
with a series of conferences with
Mr.. Leech, resulting in the decision
to surpass all other fishing grounds
in the country.
In Washington there are perhaps
moro famous fishermen than in any
other part Of the United States, and
this announcement of the realization
of every anglers dream should hav,
profound effect on the nervous
systems of countless Washingtonians
No restrictions or conditions go with
the turning over of this well stock ed

awaiting action at the next session is

1t comes perhaps at fortunate time,
for the problem of creating air routes,
insuring financial stability and pass
ing necessary legislation would then
fall to that great organizer, Herbert
Hoover.
Cities Might BE Ravaged.
However. we are considering ma
tional defense. Let US get back to
the kernel Of the matter. The ma
tions show signs of beginning a race
for aerial armament resembling the
race for general armament before
1914. If this keeps up we may stand
in danger some day of a swift, pre-
meditated and murderous attack, not
on our armies, but on our cities.
The postwar agreement at The
Hague limiting the use of aircraft
against civilian populations is but
tissue paper Few belligerents will
respect 1T in time of national emer-
gency. There was a solemn ban OH
poison gas before 1915, but when gas
became a useful weapon Germany
employed il just the same. And the
new agreement is full of loopholes.
For example, aircraft are free to
lombard important centers of trans
portation." Every large city comes
under that definition! If competitive
airplane building be not checked, we
shall doubtless enter the race and
incur all the expense in mere money,
all the corruption Of our national
soul, which heavy armament implies.
We have a better defense for our
lives and property than that. We
found it possible in 1922 to limit the
building of battleships by mutual
agreement Why, asks at least on
American citizen, can we not stop by
the same method the race for aerial
supremacy? That Is by all odds our
best scheme of defense

Supt. of Schools Ballou told of his
recent inspection trips to other cities
TO get the latest ideas practical for
use in the school buildings in Wash

One matter particularly stressed
by DR.. Ballou was that Washington
schools should have large areas of
outdoor athletic and recreation
grounds for the students on account
OF the climate here. In other cities.
he said, particularly those in the
North. they specialized in indoor rec
reational facilities. DR.. Bailou told
or new device for placing the hats
and coats of the students which
would save $13o,300 on the five-year
building program.
He explained the differences in the
sizes of classrooms found on the trip
and explained that in one city there
were suites of rooms for medical pur-
poses and rest rooms. with nurses in
charge, for pupils who were taken
sick.

ing these various plans was to give

Backs Beach Elimination.
The board adopted a report APPROX
ing the action of Congress in remov-
ing the Tidal Basin swimming
beaches, and also urging the utiliza-
tion of municipal pools to take their
place. The Potomac and Rock Creek
were termed as undesirable for bath
ing purposes. DIR. Percy Hickling,
who made the report, said that the
Tidal Basin was not a proper place to
battle and suggested the establish
ment of a series OF municipal pools.
He also urged medical inspection of
persons bathing and proper inspec-
ton and changing of the water in
the pools. Col. Sheriff. predicted
that the Tidal Basin facilities would
be greatly missed in the summer r
months by those who were used to
bathing there. He said he hoped to
get Congress to provide bathing ia
cilities next year.
