The new Public Utilities Commits
sion is rapidly cleaning its slate Of
the many problems which faced it
when it came into office in April.
When the Commission was formed
It found itself in contention with
practically every local public utility,
except the Potomac Electric Power
Company.
Two Of these major contentious
have now been solved and the third
is moving toward solution.
The recent action granting a
straight 10-cent fare to the buses
OF the Washington Rapid Transit
Company solved one of the most
perplexing problems.
Previous to that Commission had
settled the rate controversy of two
years standing by reaching a COM
promise with the Chesapeake AMI

Within the past few days the
Commission has undertaken the
third big job which faced ire.
valuation of the two gas com.
panies.
It may result In higher rates for
the Washington and GEORGETOWN

That will complete the rate con.
troEersies which faced the com.
mission when it was organized.
The remaining problems are of a
