ASKS CREDIT SHIFT
ON POWER FUND
FIeharty Quotes Potomac
Electric Figures to UtiI-
tiles Commission.

Ralph B. Flcharty. peoples counsel
before the Public Utilities Commission.
recommended to the commission today
that the Potomac Electric Power Co. be
ordered to credit the interest accruing
on the undistributed balance OF It's I'M
pounded fund to operating income.
Under the decree of the District ST.
preme Court in the impounded fund
case, Fleharty pointed out, any un-
claimed amounts due subscribers at the
expiration of the three-year refund Pc
Rod. which becomes the property or the
company. Is to be considered rs income
and pro-ratcd over a term of 20 years.
Also under the terms Of that decree. he
said. interest was not chargcable against
the company on the impoundcd fund
subsequent to December 81. 1924, 1t be-
ing provided that the interest acciulnE
after that date should be applied by the
company to the cost. and expense IN
cident to the distribution OF the I'M
pounded fund.
B. Nick Bachman. accountant for the
commission, hap advised the people S
counsel that the accrued interest on the
average balance over lile iilIct-}tai
beriod of distribution amounts to APP
proximately S2.s00 more than the cost
of distribution to date, and that 1t is
estimated that this average will take
care of any future expense of dlstribu-
ton and settlement OF pending claims.
The filing of further claims Is now pro-
hibited by the limitation of the decree.
F'leharty also was advised by the
accountant that the undistributed
balance Of the impounded fund remain
ing In the hands of the company is
1851 1856, and that the payment Of pend
ing cases will reduce this amount TO
approximately $345,000.
This balance at most conservative
estimate should earn interest at Az
per cent per annum invested In the
bonds of the company" said the peo-
pies counsel. Practically the entire
balance will be available for such an
investment. Under the circumstances.
II Is felt that. in addition to one-twcnti-
eth OF TIE undistributcd balance being
credited each year to income from
operations interest on the said fund
actually earned should also be credited
TO operating income"
