CAR
PROPOSAL
SPIKED

The Senate District Commit
tee was today advised by its
utilities expert, DR.. Milo R.
Maltbie, not to include the
Blaine valuation amendment
in the new resolution authoriz-
ing a merger of the strea car
companies.
MaItibie's advice, telegraphed to-
day from California, is expected to
result in the flat rejection Of the
Blaine amendment, when the Sem
ate District Committee meets to.
morrow to report out the merger
resolution.
Maltbie, in reply to a query from
the committee. telegraphed that it
would not be necessary to include
the Blaine amendment in the merger
contract because If Congress de.
sires to do so, It can amend the
public utilities act by a separate
action before the Public Utilities
Commission completes it's valuation
OF the merger company.
Not Part Of Contract
'Valuation would not be completed
for over one year" Maltbie said in
his telegram, ''and code could be
amended at any time before Commits.
sion acted. Hence l see no reason
why merger should not be authorized
now and code amended separately at
~ TbaA IA de- Ynf QFf SSf
the contract"
The Amendment in question was
proposed to the merger gub-com.
mittee yesterday by Senator Blaine,
of Wisconsin. but was not accepted
by that group. 1t would lay down a
rule to require the Public Utilities
Commission to value the merged
company on the basis OF prudent
investment"
Minority Report
While the Senate committee Is
expected to report the merger
resolution without the valuation
amendment. Senator Blaine has an
nounced that he will file a minority
report to the Senate urging adop-
ton of his amendment
This may result in the defeat of
the merger resolution at this sec.
sion by preventing 1t from coming
to vote. Senator Capper, chair.
man of the committee, had hoped
to get a unanimous report on the
resolution in order to facilitate its
passage through the Senate.
Senator Blaine sconstrued the
Maltbie telegram ais a. complete
vindicaiton Of his stand. 1t proves
conclusively, he said, that the mer.
ger agreement should not be ap-
proved without including 4 vaIua.
ton yardstick. to be used by the
Public Utilities Commission in
valuing the new company.
