Earnings Over I've Per Cent
on Its Valuation This Year

The probability that $87. 900
more will be used this year than
last in reduction Of electric rates
in the District was indicated to-
day by B. M. Bachman. account
ant for the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Last year the electric rate cut
by the Potomac Electric Power
Company was designed to use up
$3.50, 900 surplus above the w
per cent earnings allowed the
company under q decree Of the
District Supreme Court. The re-
duction In rates, however, re-
suited in the use Of more cur
rent which again increased the
company's earnings. This result
has been noted after each cut
since the first reduction in 1924
Company Keeps Half
Under the court decree the CON-
pany Is allowed to keep one-half
Of any earnings in excess of 7h
per cent. The other half must be
applied to the reduction of rates
for the ensuing year. Last year
the surplus was $l,326, 900 while
this year it is expected to be ap-
proxin1ately $500, 900. Hence it
is likely that $750,00O viii be ap-
piled to this years rate cut.
The company and the Utilities
Commission have been unable to
reach an agreement on the valu.
ton Of the conpany's property.
1t is understood the difference
arose out Of the retirement Of the
company's property at Fourteenth
and B Streets N. W., which was
sold to the Federal Government.
The value Of this property is to
play an important part in valua-
ton of the company's holdings,
but so far the accountants of the
company and those of the COM
mission have been unable to agree
on q figure.
Public Hearing Possible
There is a possibility that
public hearing may be held to
settle the question.
While much of the company's
increase in earnings is due to in
creased current consumption, Mr..
Bachman said a large portion of
1t is 'traceable to greater economy
of operation in the new Benning
power station. This plant is one
Of the most economical in the
country, Mr.. Bachman said, and
has resulted in large savings to
the company.
