PARKWAY TENANTS
WIN SECOND FIGHT.
Attorney Draws Reprlmand
as Court Decides It Lacks
Jurisdiction.

A second step In the legal battle for
possession of IL apartment units in the
Parkway, large residential structure, at
Connecticut avenue and Macomb street.
which was sold at auction July after
it had failed as a cooperative proJect
was won today in Municipal Court by
Is tenant purchasers of stock in the
building when Judge Mary O'Toole dis
missed custer proceedings brought
against them by the present owner OF
the property. Azreal Furr.
Judge O'Toole held that Municipal
Court had no jurisdiction in the case,
because. in her opinion, the plea of the
plaintiff was based on evidence of title
to the property which she held was a
matter for the District Supreme Court
to consider. In this she upheld the con-
tention of Gerald M johnson, attorney
for the group of tenants resisting
custer.
Counsel Reprimanded by Court.
The case was marked by heated de-
bate by Roger j. Whiteford, chief of
counsel for the plaintiff. with Judge
O'Toole over the meaning and intent
of the District code dealing with land
lord and tenant cases, which ultimately
brought him a reprimand from the
ed against his client on the ground Of
jurisdiction, Mr. Whiteford remarked
that the ruling was most amazing
proposition
Judge O'Toole rejoined that such a
remark in court bordered on contempt
and suggested that such a statement
should have been made outside the
hearing of the judge
Contention in the case grew out of
the argument of counsel for the plaintiff
that this was a landlord and tenant
case" inasmuch as there was an agree
ment to vacate between trustees for the
building prior to its auction sale and the
l8 tenants Whiteford claimed this set
up jurisdiction for the case in the
Municipal Court, but Judge O'Toole up
held the argument of Attorney johnson
that Mr.. Furr, to sustain action, must
depend upon deeds of title transfers
which he had submitted as evidence,
thus taking 1t out of the jurisdiction
OF Municipal Court.
Claims Contract Breach.
Whiteford based his argument on
contract which was signed by the lS
defendants last June, agreeing to give
up all title and interest in the property
in return for four months free rent in
the building. Also, it is learned, the
tenants, by signing this contract got
back deeds of trust which they had
signed at the tin1e of their purchase.
These deed totalled $4,000. The con-
tracts, Whiteford pointed out. stated
that the tenants agreed to surrender
possession to their apartments October
81, at the conclusion of the free rent
period.
While not questioning the force of
this contract, Judge O'Toole ruled that
the contract alone did not establish
landlord and tenant relationship be-
tween Mr.. Furr and the tenants.
In his opening Whiteford stated that
he did not question that the case was
hardship on people who had been vic
timized by an irresponsible character"
and expressed the hope that the guilty
party would be brought to justice. but
endeavored to show the justice OF the
claim of the present owner

PERMIT is GRANTED
FOR PLANE STATION
Passenger Embarkation Service at
Hains Point Given Approval
by Grant.

establishment of a passenger embark
alton station for seaplanes at Hams
Point in East Potomac Park today was
approved by Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant,
Sd, director of the Office of public build
ings and public parks in the National
Capital. The permit was granted to the
International Airways, Inc, and gives
this organization authority to use the
wharf at Hams Point for taking
aboard and discharging passengers for
sightseeing trips over the city by plane.
The permission does not give au-
thority. according to Col. Grant, to
erect any hangers in the park, and, IN
fact. he said the planes will land in the
river and taxi up to the wharf for pas
sengers. The service is scheduled to
begin in the Spring with seven-pas-
senger monoplanes of the same type to
be used by Comdr. Byrd on his South
Pole flight.
The airways company is to pay the
Government. Col. Grant said, 4 per
cent of it's net earnings from this serv-
ice and this is to be turned into the
Treasury of the United States.
Col. Grant said that he also had
under consideration an application for
the establishment of land plane sight
seeing service in East Potomac Park in
the area between the golf course and
the tourist camp. However, some OBJ
lection to location of a landing field
here was found on the ground that it
would be dangerous to persons on the
golf course and in the tourist camp as
we'll as to thousands of automobilists
who use the roadways in this area.
Because of this danger, Col. Grant said
, that he had deferred action on this
request pending further study of the
situation.

.FLEHARTY STUDIES
ELECTRIC RATE CUT
Revision in Schedule viii Be
Made Effective First !,
of Year.

With a weeks respite in the valuation
hearing of the Washington Gas Light
Co., Peoples Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty
today turned his attention to the forth
coming revision in electric current rates
to become effective January i as re-
suit of the profit-sharing agreement
between the Public Utilities Commission
and the Potomac Electric Power Co.
Fleharty announced he planned to
draw up a memorandum for the COM
mission calling attention to certain
averages, interest and accumulated
reserves, which he believes should be
included in the operating revenue of
the power company. AS the new rates
will be determined on an equal division
between the company and the con-
sumers of the earnings in excess Of ~,
per cent return on its valuation. File
harty said inclusion of the averages.
interest. etc, would have a material
effect on the rates.
Interest Item Considered.
One item in particular which Fleharty
will insist be added to operating in
come is the interest received by the
company on the $3OO,O00 balance OF inc
imuounded fund which was not claimed
by electricity users following the settle
ment of the rate case several years
ago. The interest on this fund in 1928
Is estimated to be $14,500, one-half of
which, he contends, should be added to
operating income.
1.-The Potomac Electric Power Co. has
had the use of the impounded fund for
a long time and presumably has earned
interest on it," Fleharty declared This
interest should be treated as income
which, of course, would increase the
companys excess earnings and make
possible a lower electric rate
Attaches of the Utilities Commission
calculated several weeks ago that the
excess earnings of the power company
this year will permit reduction from
SO to cents kilowatt hour in the
domestic rate.
