ACT. ELECTRIC
RATE WEIGHED

The answer of the Potomac
Electric Power Company to a re-
cent demand of the Public Utili-
ties Commission that the com
pany take a definite stand on
the proposal to reduce electric
rates is expected to be made to
the commission within the next
few days.
Members Of the board Of direc-
tors Of the company met for
nearly two hours yesterday and
discussed the demand made by
the commission. Just what &C
ton the directors instructed
President William F. Ham and
S. R. Bowner, general counsel,
to take in reporting the COM
pany's answer to the commission
could not be determined.
However it is held likely that
the company and the commits
sion will come to an agreement
whereby the present rate of 40
cents per kilowatt hour will be
cut to 4 cents. It is also con-
sidered likely that the commits.
sion and the company will reach
an agreement out Of court.

With Senator Wesley Jones
(R0 of Washington, chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee and other administration
leaders seeking means of keep
ing the new budget at as low a

The Washington times., 1931-04-02

The Grand Jury today reported
to Justice Peyton Gordon that its
investigation of Country Club
Properties disclosed no illegal con-
duct on the part of the officials
of the firm, but condemned the
high pressure methods of sales
manship used in promoting the
suburban subdivision and indicted
one salesman of the company for
larceny after trust.
C. H. Ennis, the salesman, is
said to have taken S4OO from
Mrs. Elizabeth r. Holmes last
January FL, representing to her
that he would apply it on the
purchase of property in the sub
division, but instead applied the
money to his own use.
Object to Contracts
The Grand Jury scored the
sales contract method of selling
the property and recommended
that property be sold under a
general warranty deed in all
cases where deferred payments
are included in the sale, and a
deed of trust securing the pay

AUTO|ST Gives
CLUE To DRUG
STORE THEFT.
Youths Offered to Buy Car,
Motorist Says; Display Of
$50 Bills Brings Suspicion

Police today continued their
search for three youthful bandits
who yesterday morning robbed
two Peoples Drug Store employees
of a $500 payroll and escaped in
an automobile.
Additional information concern.
ing the robbers was turned over
to the police by a cOlOred man
who said three young men had Of
fered him $500 cash for an auto.
mobile he was driving.
Refused to Sell Car
The man told officials he was
waiting for a change in traffic
lights at New Jersey and Rhode
Island Avenues Northwest when
the men approached him. One
of them displayed a roll of $50
bills which he took from a black
satchel.
When he refused to sell the car
the men walked away and the
colored man went to the precinct
station house to report the Incl
dent. His description of the three
young men is said to have tailed
with that sent out for the bandits.
Was Believed Joke
The "stick-up" occurred in an
alley next to the company's ware
house at First and Decatur Streets
Northeast. A telephone operator,
thinking the affair was an April
Fools Day joke, refused to call po-
lice until it was too late.
At the time of the robbery a
police radio car was parked within
200 yards of the scene. The ra-
dio report, however, contained a
northwest address instead of
northeast and sent the, officers
more than two blocks away to a
vacant lot.

Regarding the "luncheon-lecture
method of selling, the Grand Jury
said:
"WhiIe there is no law at
present to prohibit the so-called
'1uncheOn-Iecture" system of
sales promoting, nevertheless,
this method of stimulating sales
can but merit our fullest and
strongest condemnation, and we
earnestly recommend to Con.
greSs the deSirability of legisla-
ton, if possible, to meet this
end"
Board Needed Here
The need of a real estate super
visory board was also stressed BY
the Grand Jury in this connec
ton, under the direction Of the
District Commissioners.
Even though the property fol
sale might be located outside the
District, the Grand Jury pointed
out that, by license or otherwise
such sales promotion in the city
itself could be regulated.
Evidence taken by the Crane
Jury was in conflict in many in
stances, that body asserted in its
report. Some purchasers claimed
they were guaranteed resale al
enormous profits and at early
dates, while others denied such
representations. Deposit slip;
signed by the purchasers. how
ever, bore the specific provision
that no such guarantee was made
Many Enthusiastic
Most of the purchasers of lots
in the subdivision appeared en-
thusiastic regarding their prop
critics, the Grand Jury pointed
out, and it is said that many o.
them have renewed their con

Switching Babies Is
Now Impossible
At Garfield

Possibility of "mix-ups" and
Switched" babies at Garfield
Hospital will be eliminated in
the future. for authorities there
have adopted an accurate sys-
tenn of "foot-printing" each
child as it is born.
A record of each child's foot
prints will be attached to the
birth certificate and filed in
the hospital for reference in
case of confusion.
The hospital has recently ~ac.
quired new equipment for max
ing the prints, which outline
every line in the baby's foot as
completely as in the best Grim

D. {. MILK PRICE
PER QUART GUT
To a CENTS
Reduction in Baltimore Nets
Saving to Capital Residents;
Cost Here Still Is Higher

Forced to act ahead of their
schedule by yesterdays reduction
in the retail price of milk in
Baltimore, Washington distri-
butors today reduced the price of
milk from Is to IA cents per
quart.
According to John McGill, 1881
1 st. N. w., Secretary-treasurer
of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, the
retail cut is the result of
reduction from 33 to 81 cents a
gallon in the wholesale price of
milk.
Managers of local milk dis
tributing concerns were notified
Of the change in wholesale price
late yesterday afternoon by the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro
ducers' Association and the re+
duction in retail price followed.
Several dairies today declared
that they have not yet received
official confirmation of the order.
Mr.. McGill said today that it
had been planned to defer any
change in the wholesale price
until the grass in pastures is in
better condition, since the pro-
ducerS were at a heavy expense
during the last winter as the re-
suit Of last summers drought.
The higher prices charged for
milk in Washington were ex-
planned by Mr.. McGill as being due
to the rigid requirements of the
District health laws. Many pro-
ducerS, he said, ship their milk
to Baltimore, even though Wash
ington is closer. to avoid the
stringent requirements here.
Mr.. McGill pointed out that
his organization has nothing to
do with the retail price, but
merely controls wholesale cost.
Earlier Action Forced
The cut had been planned for
May /, but the action of the
Baltimore companies forced
earlier action here.
When asked yesterday about
the possible effect of the Balti-
more cut on local prices, local
distributors denied any knowledge
Of an impending price cut.
It is estimated that District
consumers use 10000 gallons of
milk per day. Hence, the saving
under the new price will be ap-
proximately $1,000 per day. The
cut of two cents per quart in
Baltimore results in $4,40O
daily saving to consumers in that
city, which uses $4,000 gallons
per day.
District Prices Higher
The changes in price make the
retail milk price of Baltimore II
cents per quart, while the Dis
trict price will average IA cents.
Before the cuts the respective
prices were IA cents and Is cents.
The sources of supply for the
two cities are parallel, but the
higher price has prevailed in the
District for some time.
