KEECH TO OPPOSE
NEW POWER RATES
Peoples Counsel to Make
Last-Minute Effort to Force
Greater Reduction.

A last-ninute effort to overthrow the
rate schedule proposed Friday by the
Potomac Electric Power Co. for the
Districts 1881 electric rates will be
made by Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech at the meeting Of the Public
Utilities Commission tomorrow, Mr.
Keech announced yesterday.
Mr.. Keech was given copy of the
proposed rate schedule Friday and he
maintains that 1t Is impossible to make
a sufficient study of it before tomorrow,
when the commission has Informally
announced that the new rates will be
promulgated.
Mr.. Keech already has pending a mo-
ton for the commission to make larger
reductions than it proposes by taking
into account prospective increase In
business in 1881. This has not been
done, the commission contending that
1t would not be permissible under the
terms of the decree in Equity Court by
which the rates are annually adjusted
Mr.. Keech contends that the increased
business may be taken into account, or,
II the terms Of the decree are found to
prohibit it, then that decree Is totally
unconscionable and that the decree is
to be abrogated."
Mr.. Keech said that he will not only
press his motion at the meeting of the
Executive Committee meeting on Mon
day. but that he will press the whole
matter before the rates are adjusted
and that he would oppose any order or
the rates before such public hearing is
granted.
The rates as proposed by the COM
pany after conference with the COM
mission call for a reduction in cleo
trio bills during 1881 amounting to
$780, 900. accomplished by reducing all
schedules from primary rate of At
down to "a cents per. kilowatt hour
with accompanying reductions in the
secondary rates.
