FIGHT RESTRICTION
ON BUSINESS "MAIL"
Firms Defend Right to Deliver
Monthly Bills and Circulars
Direct.

A bill passed by the House to pro-
hibit the placing of circulars or state
ments Of account in the mail boxes of
city homes unless they have been sent
through the mail was opposed before q
Senate subcommittee yesterday after
noon by a number of national business
organizations and by two local utilities,
the Washington Gas Light Co. and the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
Richard A. Ennis of the gas company
and H. A. Brooks Of the power COM
pany both said a large percentage of
their monthly bills are delivered by
their own employees direct to the homes
of consumers. They argued 1t would
cost them more to mail all bills and
that it is in the interest of the con-
sumers to keep down operating ex-
penseS.
The bill was strongly supported by
Representatives Kelly Of Pennsylvania
and Mead of New York, who pointed
out that a similar regulation already Is
in effect regarding rural mail boxes and
that its application to cities would add
$4,000.000 to the postal revenues at a
time when more revenue Is needed.
