flrst year OF an extension granted him
beyond the 70-year span.
Praised by Leaders.
Many years ago he started work on
the catalcg. which was destined to bring
him fame in the scientific world. Dr.
Hall today pointed to the tributes paid
him by leading scientists-including
Yorke, Maplestone Baylis and Daubney
The chief Of the geological division,
after citing paragraphs from scientific
works lauding DR.. Hassall's work, said:
Many such quotations could be given
and all of them would illustrate the fact
that without this comprehensive guide
to the literature, complete and mono
graphic studies, especially on the
parasitic worms, but also on other para
sites to large extent, could not be
written with anything approaching
completeness"
DR.. Hall explained that with Dr.
Hassall's catalog a scientist can work
ten times faster. The chief places his
year.
Dr. Hassall inaugurated his catalog
about 1890, when DR.. Charles Wardell
Stiles was chief of the geological di-
vision. Part of it was published
jointly by Stiles and Hassall.

YACHT FACILITIES
HELD INADEQUATE
Encouragement of Sport on
Water Here Is Favored
in Annual Report.

More attention to recreational needs
of the small boat or yacht owner. un-
affiliated with any club, is recommended
by Roland NJ. Brennan, chairman of
the Districts Wharf Committee. in the
annual report of the committee.
1T is the opinion of the Wharf Com
mittee," he wrote, that the use of the
splendid water recreational facilities
afforded by the Potomac River and its
tributaries should be encouraged by
providing adequate facilities in the har-
Dor for yachts and small boats. Prac-
tically every form of outdoor recreation
and sport, such as golf. base ball. tennis.
horseback riding, motoring end other
forms Of wholesome recreation have
been encouraged and promoted by pro-
monds. tennis courts, bride paths. i'm
proved roads, etc
1T Is believed that the yachtsman
and the small boat owner without club
affiliations are entitled to better accom-
modations than now exist. Frequently
large palatial yachts visit this Fort cnly
to find unsatisfactory anchorage facili-
ties. Adequate and convenient provision
should be made for these as well as fa-
cilities for the storage, repair and serv-
icing Of small boats"
Rental of wharf property netted the
District s40,0s252 during the past fiscal
year. a decrease of S2,40253 from the
previous years receipts.

however, an appeal was futile because

UTILITIES PROTEST
COMMISSION MOVE.
Request to Court for Ruling
on Valuation Methods Hit
by Five Companies.

Five local utility companies today
jointly registered opposition to the re-
cent legal move of the Public Utilities
Commission, seeking court instructions
as to methods Of valuing the properties
Of the companies.
The commission. in an amended petit
tion, had asked the court for specific
instructions as to items to be consid-
cred in making valuations Of the prop
critics of the various utilities for rate
making purposes.
Brief of 2ls Pages.
Of 2l9 printed pages, was filed today in
District Supreme Court by the Wash
ington Railway & Electric Co.. the Cap
ital Traction Co., the Washington Rapid
Transit Co., the Washington Gas Light
Co. and the Georgetown Gas Light Co
The utilities deny the claim OF the
commission that instructions, by the
court, as to the proper elements to be
considered in making valuation will
result in the saving of great sums of
money or will tend toward a more just
or reasonable performance of the duties
Of the commission or will have any
such effect.
Want Request Refused.
The several instructions suggested by
the commission, 1t is claimed, are in
correct, ambiguous, misleading and
contrary to law and should be refused
by the court.
The suggested instructions are not
such as are contemplated by paragraph
"a Of the utilities act, 1t is asserted,
and no authority for instruction IS
contained in any other paragraph of
the act. The granting of the requests,
the court is told, will increase the time
and expense and will not assist, but will
interfere with the prompt and efficient
performance Of the duties of the COM
mission.
