COUNCIL URGES
POWER BILL

Early action by the House Dis
trict Committee on the Great Falls
power development bin was re-
quested today in a report from the
Citizens Advisory Council. The
report will be submitted to the
committee by Representative Fred
erick N. Zihlman, of Maryland,
chairman.
The council states in its report
that construction of the proposed
power plant would result in a saw
ing to District citizens of 20 to. 80
per cent in their electric light bills.
The council recommended that
the bin be so amended. as to give
the District or the Federal Gov
eminent an opportunity to control
the distribution Of the current "
It Were found that public interests
demanded such procedure. The bill
now provides that the Federal
Power Commission shall have the
power to lease the plant to private
interests.
Competition Needed
THE economic advantage to a
city of cheap electric current is
well known and needs no argu-
ment," the council reported "As
win be noted. the saving from the
generation of current alone is but
two to four-tenths OF cents per
kilowatt hour.
f'The entire question of power
development has been given very
careful consideration by the COM
mittee and 1t has been found that
the cheaper electric rates have
usually resulted only when the
municipality has distributed the
current which 1t has generated in
competition with the privately
owned plant in the same locality.
The council also approved a bill
amending the charter of st.
.Joseph's Male Orphan Asylum so
as to increase the number Of trus-
tees from seven to eight and re-
move the limit to the amount OF
real estate the institution might
hold.
Surplus Property Tax
The council made an important
recommendation that the surplus
property of all charitable institu-
tions now exempt from taxation be
taxed unless actually used for in
stitutton purposes.
The council also approved a bill
TO change the name OF Dent Place
Northwest to Greenwich Parkway"
and another to regulate the sale
of mattresses.
