fuse them contracts for the next school

that most of the $50 married women
employed as teachers have husbands
earning aalaries, and that there were 81
instances in which husbands and wives

CAPITAL ELECTRIC
RATES COMPARED
Federal Trade Commission
Engineer Gives Relative
Data on Cleveland.

The Potomac Electric Power Co,
which has boaSted of its low rates and
efacient plant operation, has at least
one rival in the Cleveland Electric Il
Illuminating Co., judging from the find
ings of ]. G. Dickerman, engineer-ex-
anliner of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, who returned to the witness stand
yesterday at the commissions hearings
on the North American Co. of New
York
Both these power companies are
subsidiaries of the North American. but
Dickerman confined his testimony to
the Cleveland company. promising to
come back later during the hearings
and reveal what he discovered In his
investigation of the washington COM
pany.
Paints Glowing Picture.
Dickerman painted glowing picture
Of the Cleveland company which, he
said, closely approached the ideal OF
what a good public utility corporation
should be in management, operation
and its relation with the public and
regulating agencies. The rates charged.
he said, are comparatively low for a
privately owned concern, but In this
respect the Washington company has
a slight edge, q comparison showing
the initial domestic rate in Cleveland
the Potomac Electric rate of 40 cents.
Domestic consumers in Cleveland how
ever, can get current as low as Is cents
if they use enough to fall within the
minimum scale.
The Cleveland company, Dickerman
declared, closely approaches that which
may be expected of a public utility
under good, conservative management,
and which conforms to the best ideals
of Ollblic regulation 4" There is no in
flation, no subordination of the local
company to a holding company" he
said, THE security issues are thor
oughly accrued both by property and
earnings: the rates are simple and pro-
vide moderate cost service to small con-
sumers and low priced service to In
dustrialists; and judging from the
facilities provided, the personnel in
charge and the operating results, serV-
ice must be high grade"
One Of Largest in U. S.
Dickerman explained the Cleveland
company is one of the large operating
electric utility companies of the United
States, serving the highly industri-
allied city of Cleveland and suburban
and rural areas east and west for about
100 miles along the Lake Erie shore.
Seventy EIGHT per cent OF its voting
stock, he said, is held by the North
American Edison Co, q holding COM
pany, which, in turn, Is owned by the
North American.
Dickerman also brought out that the
North American, though one of the
countrys largest holding corporations,
is unlike others In the same field be-
cause it does not charge its subsidiar-
les high service fees, nor does it at
tempt TO dictate rates and policies.
