UTILITIES BOARD
TOSTART MONDAY
Numerous Changes in Plans.
Result in Delays in New
Members Taking Oath.

After several changes In plans FOR
organizing the new Public Utilities
Commission, District officials TO-DAY
again tentatively set the time for this
event at 1915 o'clock Monday MORN
ing. Both comedy and dismay nave
entered into the arrangements thus
far, and District officials are now
hopeful that no further alterations
will be necessary, because Of the de-
sire to get the new commission func-
tioning as soon as possible.
The original plan to induct the
commissioners into office yesterday
afternoon had to be postponed owing
to the absence from the city of Col.
Harrison Brand, jr., and the inability
of Ralph B. FTeharty, the peoples
counsel, to be present at the cere-
monies at the designated time.
Salaries Were i'm Doubt.
Then the time was shifted until this
morning, but these arrangements were
also hastily called off, because the
District Commissioners enormously
thought that the appropriation for the
salaries of the new utility commissions
ers was contained in the second de-
ficiency appropriation bill. which Con-
gress failed to pass in its closing
hours.
quently to have the new commission
ers meet Monday morning to decide
whether they care to work without
compensation until July 1, when the
salary appropriation provided in the
District appropriation act for the next
fiscal year becomes available.
Carried i'm First Bill.
In the meantime, however, Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan carefully scruti-
niZed the first deficiency act which
was passed February % and discover
ed that it contained the salary items.
So he impaired this information to
the District Commissioners this morn
fng and plans We're made to induct
the new utility officials into office
Monday morning and proceed with
the organization of the commission.
BY that time Col. Brand, who with
John w. Childress and Engineer
Commissioner Bell will compose the
new commission, is expected to return
from Florida.
The first deficiency appropriation
act carries $500 to pay the salaries
of the two civilian Commissioners to
June 80 in addition to 1850 for sal
aries for two secretaries, $4,000 for
Office furniture and the salary of a
special investigator for the commits
sion who will receive $4,000 per year.
