SUBMETERING POWER
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Conference to Be Held November
q in Attempt to Settle
Issue Of Electricity.

An attempt will be made to settle
the vexed question of submetering of
electric power by owners of apartment
houses, hotels and Office buildings at
a public hearing to be held by the
Public Utilities Commission at 10 am.
November 81.
The matter is being agitated by the
Operative Builders Association, which
believes that owners are within their
rights in submetering the current. This
practice is source of revenue, as they
buy it from the Potomac Electric Pow
er Co. at wholesale rates and sell it
to tenants at the higher retail rates.
At a recent hearing on the question
representatives of the power company
stated that they were opposed to sub
metering, and that they intended to
correct" the practice.
Since that time the Operative Build
ers' Association again complained that
some buildings had been compelled to
give the practice UP. but that others
had not. The association complained
that discrimination was being practiced
by the power company and demanded
a public hearing to settle the matter.
The announcement of the hearings
next week is the answer to. this second
request.
