EIGHT LOCAL BILLS
HELD UP IN SENATE
Parkway, Mergers and How
ell Measures Have Slight
Chance for Passage.

With the adjournment Of Congress
only "A hours away. eight local meas
ures still pending in the Senate were
postponed on objections during call Of
the calendar today, including the bill
to expedite purchase of land in the
George Washington memorial parkway
under the Capper- park
development law.
The Senate may have another oppor-
tunity to consider the calendar before
the session ends tomorrow, which means
that all hope for these bills is not gone.
Their failure to go through today, how
ever, has reduced materially their
chances for final passage.
Gas Merger Also Blocked.
In addition to the Cramton-C apper
park amendment. the District measures
which were blocked by failure to OBJ
tain unanimous consent were the bill
to authorize merger of the Washing
ton and Georgetown Gas Light Com
panies, the resolution for a merger of
the street railway lines, the bill to cur
tail the power of local courts in re-
viewing decisions of the Public Utilities
Commission, the Howell prohibition en-
forcement bill, the bill to require
motorists convicted Of serious traffic
offenses to establish financial RESPONSE
bility, a bill to put more teeth In the
local gambling laws and a bill to allow
public school employees leave OF absence
with part pay for the purpose OF edu-
eational improvement.
Senator Carey, Republican, Of Wyom-
ing, and Senator Capper. chairman OF
the District Committee, made two efforts
to obtain action on the amendment to
the park development law, which would
make possible the use Of 100000
without delay in acquiring important
sections of the proposed memorial park
way along the river from Great Falls
to Mount Vernon on the Virginia side
and to Fort Washington on the Mary
land side.
Hospital Bill Passed.
The first time the bill was called
up, Senator Bingham, Republican, of
Connecticut, asked that its text be read.
Senator Bratton, Democrat, of New
Mexico, said he had no objection to
the bill, but would ask that it be post
poned If inSistence was made on
formal reading of the measure in view
of the time it would consume.
A few moments later Senator Brat
ton withdrew his objections, explaining
IIldG 0cIldIOT DluStldHI IlO hunger WdIlIeQ
a complete reading of the bill. At this
point, however. Senator Dale, Repnb-
lican, of Vermont objected, and since
consent was necessary, ac-
ton could not be had. It is possible
further efforts may be made later.
One local bill, authorizing $4,000 for
at Casualty Hospital,
passed the Senate today, but still re-
quires House action.

REYNOLDS NAMED
GAS PRODER UNTIL
Pc Is REPLACED
Will Take Over Inquiry
Prompted by Complaints
of High Bills.
PERMANENT SELECTION
FOR POST is HELD UP
Reports From Standards Bureau on
Pressure and Mixture Awaited
by Commission.

IA L. Reynolds engineer in charge
of the Valuation Bureau of the Public
Utilities Commission, was selected to-
day to be the acting chief engineer Of
the commission, pending the appoint
ment of q successor to Bert H. Peck,
who resigned to become an assistant to
George A. G. Wood, president of the
Washington Gas Light Co.
Announcement was made at the COM
mission that Mr.. Reynolds would take
over supervision of the investigation now
under way to determine the cause Of
the flood of complaints over high. gas
bills. As chief engineer of the commits
sion Mr.. Peck made an exhaustive sur
vey of the gas system, which disclosed
the existence of excessive gas preSsures
He subsequently directed the inquiry
into cause of the gas bill complaints
until Saturday, when he terminated his
services at the commission.
Post Sought by Many.
The commission has received q num-
Der of applications for the post Mr..
Peck left vacant, but 1t is not ready,
it was said, 10 make permanent ap-
pointment. Mr.. Reynolds was put in
the position temporarily to preclude any
interruption in the gas investigation.
No reports have yet been received at
Standards, which Is making several diff
ferent kinds of tests for the commission
to determine the effect on consumption
of varying gas pressures, and the effect
of the mixture of natural and artificial
gas now being distributed over a por-
ton of the gas system.
Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel
before the commission, who has been
making an independent study of the
gas situation, announced that he had
received a number of additional COM
plants over excessive gas bills. One of
these came from Charles B. Lingam-
Committee of the Chevy Chase Citi-
Gems Association.
Action ON Bills Urged.
Mr.. Lingamfelter said "it appears
that the matter of excess gas charges
is developing into serious proportions
and immediate steps should be taken
toward arresting continuation of this
practice by the gas companies in the
District Of Columbia and applying the
necessary relief that will register the
normal and usual flow OF gas hereto
fore used by consumers"
He also suggested that steps be taken
to enjoin the gos companies from rem
dering further bills until a satisfac-
tory adjustment is made to the gas
meters that win conform to the change
recently made in the gas pressure and
main, and a correction is made Of the
excess charges collected on some equit-
able basis, say the average payments Of
gas bills for the past five or six months"
Mr.. Keech explained, however, that
the commission is without jurisdiction
TO order refund on gas bills, except In
cases when tests reveal that the gas
meter Is more than 2 per cent fast.
