LIGHT RATE SLASH
HEARING SOUGHT
Petition Filed for Citizens
Federation Seeks New
Basis of Charges.

william NICK. Clayton, representing
the Federation of Citizens Associations,
today filed a petition with the Public
Utilities Commission asking for public
hearing on the matter OF the reduction
of the rates of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. for next year.
Mr.. Clayton bases his contention on
allegations that the company's present
earning, on its valuation Is IN excess
of 10 per cent; that the valution figures
on which this percentage Is based Is I'M
depreciated; that the company deducts
Federal income tax as an operating ex-
pense and that the interest paid on its
depreciation fund is too low.
Coming as it does when the commits
sion is known to be on the verge OF
ordering O public hearing on its own
account for other reasons, MIR. Clayton's
motion was regarded today as OF
extraordinary significance. If it should
prevail, 1t would mark the first time
when electric rates for washington have
been fixed otherwise than by aInicable
agreement behind closed doors, since
1924.
At that time, after five years Of
seemingly unproductive litigation, the
commission and the company came to
an agreement, ratified by decree issued
by Equity Court, whereby compromise
company allowed to earn 712 per cent
on this and future net additions.
The excess over 712 per cent was to
be evenly split, one-half going to the
company in cash and the balance to be
applied each succeeding year in the
way Of rate reductions The first re-
duction, made effective in 1925, drop
ped the primary rate from 10 cents to
III cents per kilowatt hour, and an
nual reductions have been made ever
since, the present rate being AZ cents.
The effect of each rate cut, however,
has been to yield the company more
revenue, owing to larger sales and
greater economies made possible in part
by this increased volume of production.
Mr.. Clayton has for years attacked
this decree as an uncomfortable con-
tract under which the consumers of
electricity do not get all they are en-
titled to in the way of rate reductions,
but he has never succeeded in securing
change in the terms of the decree.
The matter in controversy now be-
tween the power company and the COM
mission which threatens to result in a
public hearing, Is the figure at which
the company's building at Fourteenth
and B streets, purchased by the Fed
eral Government, Is to be retired from
its valuation.
All of these negotiations have been
conducted in secrecy, but it is well
known that the two sides have not been
able to agree and that the matter may
be thrashed out publicly in order to
secure for both sides a record of which
an appeal could be taken by either to
the courts.
Mr.. Clayton's motion viii come before
the commission for action tomorrow
morning at its meeting at 10 O'Clock.

after nine years service.
Because of it he has rendered his
resignation as head of the institution

The agents object was only to make

the State licensing records to find DR..
Matthias age, so he could prefer i'm

he could find no registration for the
hospital superintendent.
He communicated this information to
the authorities in charge. DR.. Matthai
resigned with the explanation that

was not engaged in a general practice.
