PHONE VALUATION
D|SPUTEDPO|NTSUP
Utilities Commission to Con-
slider Issues on Larger
Assets of Company.

The first step toward fixing a new
valuation for the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co. is being taken
this afternoon, with the Public Utili-
ties Commission meeting to go over
the evidence submitted at the recent
hearings.
e It is understood the commission
will discuss several items entering
into the valuation on which the
views of the commission and the
company differ. These disputed
questions are:
What value should be placed on
the land and buildings owned by the
company? The company submitted
one estimate of real estate value and the
District assessor placed different ap-
praisals on the property.
How much should be deducted from
the reproduction cost of the property
for depreciation? The company con-
tends that the actual depreciation
existing in the property is not as
great as the total of s4.500,000 it has
in its depreciation reserve.
Should the commission make any
allowance for several pieces of land
owned by the company but not yet
tused in rendering telephone service!
How much should be allowed in
the valuation for overhead, including
what is known as going concern
value?
How much should be allowed in
the valuation for working capital,
materials and supplies?
If the commission makes up its
mind at today's conference on these
propositions, the accountants of the
commission, under the direction of
Maj. w. L. r. Covell and Earl V.
Fisher, then will be in a position to
work out a valuation.
Meanwhile, however. Dozier De-
vane attorney for the company, is to
submit a brief covering legal points
in the valuation dispute, and this doc
ument must be studied by Corpora
tlon Counsel Stephens before a final
determination is announced
I The present value of the telephone
company, as found by the commits
sion, is approximately $19000,000.
Ute evidence submitted by the COM
pany would raise the value to $25,-
O00. 600 as of present-day price levels.
William Nick. Clayton, representing
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. contended the value should not
exceed $15,500,000. A decision is not
likely for a week or two longer.

state railways and education are the
next two most important items. The
government is congratulated on bal
ancing the budget. although this was
accomplished by not executing rail-
way development schemes and max
ing only a trif1ing increase in the
salaries of state employees, who re-
main shockingly underpaid.
On the revenue side of the budget,

"Cat" and Bear Acts
To Be Eliminated

Public Distaste Declared
Reason for ActiOn BY

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Trained
wild animal acts, involving lions,
tigers, other jungle beasts of the
feline class and the larger species of
bears. will not be shown by the
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
circus when that show takes the road
this Spring, officers of the circus said.
Such acts already have been elimi
mated from the circus as it is appear
ing in New York.
Charles Ringing, one Of the own
ers, explained the decision as due pri-
marily to public distaste for acts
which alarm a large class of circus
goers, especially children and women.
Many parents object to taking chill
dren to a show where men and women
enter cages with ferocious beasts" he
said. The public seems to prefer
acts in which the animals themselves
seem to take an interest in their
part, as do dogs, seals, horses and
elephants
Trained animal acts with animals
of these latter kinds will be contin-
ued, it was explained, and the larger
jungle beasts will still be carried in

with the case that she'd get out of
her difficulties in some way, for
the knowledge had seeped out that
the reason she took Billy to this
city was because she loved him,
had cared for him and tended him
when she lived in Mrs. Eubanks'
home, while Mrs. Eubanks worked.
AS far as Mrs. Eubanks was con-
cerned, the consensus of sentiment
was that she might relent in her
intention of prosecuting Mrs. Will
Iiams, although there was no sign
of such relenting at her departure.
And, as far as sleeping Billy was

the best of luck, because he's the
