RETALIATION
PLEA TO Be
MADE
Appeal From Bailey Decision
Also Planned As Traction
Counsel Prepare Decree

Determined attempts to halt
the 1O-cent street car fare were
under way today by the Public
Utilities Commission and Peo-
pies Counsel Richmond B.
Keech, as the traction companies
prepared decree which will le-
galize, after it is signed, the new
raise in rates.
A conference is being held be-
tween attorneys for the traction
companies and the Public Util-
tiles Commission in an effort to
whip the legal document into
shape for the signature of Justice
Jennings Bailey.
Case to be Appealed
Meanwhile Keech is preparing
a petition to present to the Public
Utilities Commission demanding
the revaluation of the traction
companies properties. 1t is also
understood that the District
authorities over whose advice the
decision for the increase was
made will carry the fight to- the
District Court of Appeals.
A rough draft of the proposed
decree was to have been pre-
sented before noon today by the
street car attorneys for the ap-
peal and study of the Utilities
Commission.
Up to noon. though. no breif
had been presented.
Transfers Worry
The street car companies, de-
spite active protests from hun
dreds of residents. are firm in
their belief that the higher fare
is the only solution to their prob
lens. They realize that gross
revenues will suffer for the next
few weeks, but hope that as soon
as the public becomes accustomed
to the increase their patronage
will increase.
Attorneys on both sides were
wondering today just what
Justice Bailey's reference to free
transfers will mean. The trac-
ton companies did not offer
transfers and Justice Bailey's re-
marks on the question in his de-
cision were considered vague and
| indefinite.

Suburban Commission Meets
Today to Consider Avert
ing Famine in Dry Spell

In an effort to prevent a water
famine in the Maryland suburbs
of the Capital, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
will meet late this afternoon to
take drastic action to prevent
residents of the sections supplied
with the water from wasting it..
That announcement was made
today by j. Donald Clagett, a
member of the commission.
Plead in Vain
Clagett said that officials and
employees of the company have
I, pleaded with the residents ever
since the dry spread arrived to
curtail the use of the water. They
were asked he said, to stop
sprinkling their lawns.
Instead, Clagett said, the resi-
dents of the sections using the
water of the company have in
creased their use of the water
and are now using more water
than they do in normal times.
He said about 100000 gallons of
water are being used each day
as compared with 100000 used
under normal conditions. Clagett
said.
owe made an inspection to-
day and found but 12,O0O, coo
gallons of water left in our
reservoirs. Under normal con-
GlitiOns we have between 5O,-
100000 and 6O,OOO,OOO gallons
of water there. From that one
can easily see how serious the
situation is and what the resi-
, dents of the suburbs of Mary
] land are facing. The stream
flow into our reservoir is get
ting lower and lower each day.
But for the 100000 gallons Of
! water we get each day from
! the District of Columbia, we
probably would have had ex-
+. hauSted reservoirs.
/ Asked what action will be
taken at the meeting Clagett
said:
| 1--WE shall officially notify
the users of our water that un-
less they curtail and stop
sprinkling their lawns we will
Immediately cut off their wa
/ ter supply. In some cases
where we find too much open
! defiance to our requests We
I intend to have the viOlatOrs
arrested and make test cases
out of it. We intend to pre-
/ vent a water famine, and If
/ the residents don't cooperate
| with us, then we will let them
! be waterless until they decide
/ to help uS."
