PARIS (P).-The chief characteristics
of the fifth annual Paris radio exposi-

lowering of prices.
If there were no revelations there
was greater technical skill in the con-

favorite type of receiver, and six tubes
is the number most generally found.
Many firms were exhibiting six-tube re-

which he considered important in
arriving at fair value of utility
property for rate making purposes.
Among them was the tax valuation.
Doubts Validity Of Plan
Should the law pass as he pro-
poses, this factor would take on
great Importance.
II have heard it advocated that
a law be passed to make tax valu-
alton the basis for rates." Single
ton said today, in explaining his
proposal. IT do not believe that
such law would be upheld by the
courts, even if it could be passed.
my proposal, to make the tax
valuation represent at least rs or
80 per cent, would be more likely
of both passage and court approval.
Fair value should be fair to the
utility as basis of return and as
fair to the utility's patrons as a
basis upon whcih they must pay the
rates prescribed"
Lists Value Evidence
Evidences of fair value as listed
by Singleton in his report are as
follows:
1. Estimated cost of reproduction
new, less actual depreciation, plus
going concern value and working
capital.
2. Historic cost as shown by util-
ity's boks, adjusted.
3. Fair value, as indicated by ap-
