OPPOSES LAND.
PURCHASE

Opposition to the use OF the
$50, 900, 900 appropriation for public
buildings in the District in the pur-
chase of land for the development of
the Mall project was expressed to-
day by Representative Tilson Of
Connecticut, majority leader Of the
House.
Representative Tilsons who con-
ferred with President Coolidge to-
day, does not believe that Congress
will sanction the purchase of land
south of the Avenue at this time.
1.-THE whole project will have to
be carefully studied" said Mr.. " IL
son. IT am in favor Of the develop
ment of the Mall, but do not think
it should be made part of the
public buildings program"
President Coolidge probably will
confer with members of the Puolic
Buildings Commission and the
Finance Commission on the public
buildings program during the com
ing week.

PROBE IS AIDED,
SAYS RUDOLPH

Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph,
president of the Board of District
Commissioners, today denied reports
that city officials were 'hampering"
the House District Committee. APP
pointed to make an investigation of
the local government.
ION the contrary Rudolph said,
I'VE believe that we have done
everything to make the committees
work easy by offering the use of
rooms in the District Building and
detailing minor officials who are
familiar with the administration"
In commenting on reports that
the city heads are making it diff
cult for the committee to progress
in the investigation by disagreeing
with Representative Frank r. Reid
Of Illinois, who proposes to increase
the Districts governing board from
three to five members. Commits
sioner Rudolph said he was merely
expressing an opinion as to what he
considered most beneficial to the
city.
While Rudolph has advocated the
appointment of an additional Com
missioner, preferably a woman, it IS
understood that one of his col
leagues does not agree with him.

PUBLIC I D
CT 7 BACK
B475,OQO

Officials Of the Public Utilities
Commission today announced that
another reduction in the rates Of
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany would be ordered January /.
While the cut may not be more
than one-half cent per kilowatt
hour, it was pointed out that the
public would share in fund of
approximately $95O,O0O which the
electric light company will make in
excess Of III per cent on its valua-
ton.
In accordance with its agreement
with the Commission, the electric
light company will share equally
with the consumers all money netted
in excess of the fair return, each
will receive about $475 900.
Last year, with an excess Of
100000. the electric light company
and the public Were each allotted
$3.50, 900, the latter to take its share
in reduced rates.
The net income Of the Potomac
I4lCCIIlC wv N%O1AApd4Ay Will 0tl1pual
to about $3,664,3 An income >,f
exactly Tx per cent on the COM
pany's true valuation would be
only 5000, 900. Added expenses
will bring the excess profits down
to $3.50 900.
With the cooler weather large
increase is being noted in the gross
return. With an income of $234, 239
in July the conpany's report for
August admits an income of $685.
407.
Although the excess profits fund
will be about 100000 above last
year. officials of the commission
state that cut Of more than three
quarters of cent per kilowatt hour
for house lighting can hardly be
expected.
They give as a reason for this
the further decreases which will
necessarily be made IN other CLASH
fications of consumers.
Confidence is expressed, however,
that the rate for 1927 viii be at
least 81 cents an hour for the first
12O kilowatt hours, instead OF n
cents, and cents per hour there
after, instead Of AZ cents.
Proportionate reductions may be
expected in the other rates Of the
company, it was said.

AMERICAN TOYS

Up to within recent years Christ
mas toys came principally from Ger
many. More lately Czecho-Slovakia
got into the game. Now the United
States is claiming its right to supply
the public, and the use of such ma
terials as fabrikoid, cellophane, py-
ralin, gum rubber, and rayon, have
made it possible to make a better
American toy than Europe ever
thought of. In consequence Ameri-
can merchants may conclude to buy
most Of their toys in the domestic
markets this year. One producer of
American toys recently remarked
that the only objection to United
States toys is that they last many
times longer than European articles
However, that is not a material OBJ
