CLARKSVILLE

This is Station CLKV. Friday
morning (time). To read the Chron-
icle. Place a little village between
Frankford and Millville on the main
highway. Well our first offering will
be a report on the political game
between two opposing factions,
Buck and Short teams last Satur-
day. The game was called at 2 p.' m.
The players were in good trim and
ready for the battle. Hundreds of
fans helped to boost the teams by
their votes. Men, women and chill
dren made up the long line. The
nine inning game was a hard battle.
The players went to the bench at
seven o'clock. After rest and re-
freshments the ballots were count
ed and the umpire announced the
score in favor of the Buck team. No
doubt but what these two teams
will meet again on the Millville dia-
mond for another game. No rain
checks.
A resident of our village has to-
mato vine 5 feet, inches tall. Nine
ripe tomatoes have been gathered,
with 20 remaining on the vine.

PHONE PROPERTIES
VALUATION SOUGHT.
Keech Petition Points Out
Figure Set in 1917 Was
Abrogated in 1927.

Taking advantage Of q three-day re-
cess in the public hearings on tele-
phone rates before the Public Utilities
Commission, Peoples Counsel Richmond
B. Keech today filed a petition for an
immediate valuation of the properties of
the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co.
The petition was not offered as a
substitute for the present rate case,
which he said should continue inde-
pendently.
"No Existing Valuation"
The petition set out that there is
no existing valuation of the company S
properties since the valuation of 1917
was abrogated by a consent decree of
the District Supreme Court in 1927. 1t
stated that since 1917 radical changes
have taken place, both Ill equipment
and in price trends.
The present rate hearing. the petition
states, has demonstrated the necessity
for complete and thorough revaluation
Of the properties actually used and USE
full at the present time for public
purposes.
Urges Beginning on Work.
The petition urged that the valuation
be begun now, since present economic
conditions would permit the commits
sion to obtain the services of engineer
ing and accounting experts not avail
able in normal times and at figures
substantially less than those usually
demanded. The possibility of obtaining
lower cost valuation work at this time
will be beneficial both to the company
and to the consumers who are called
upon ultimately to stand the cost of
such proceeding, the petition stated.
The rate case was recessed yesterday
until 10 am. Friday, when the COM
mission will rule on motions by the
telephone company to strike out certain
evidence offered by witnesses for the
commission.

TREASURY FLOODED
BY BANK QUERIES
ON NEW CURRENCY
Continued From First Page.)

Continued From First Page)
the inquiries applications for permis-
sion to issue currency while others held
they were only informal requests and
said the bonds to guarantee the cur
rency had not yet been deposited.
The Riggs National Bank of Wash
ington was said to have indicated a de-
sire to issue $1,000, 900 in new currency,
while the Denver National Bank indi-
Gated it wished to issue $1,500,000
Washington bankers took the view that
any increase in national bank notes ex-
pansion would result in consequent
decrease in Federal Reserve circulation.
Robert v. Fleming of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank said his institution had by
no means decided to take advantage Of
the new law, but If it did it would be
purely from the standpoint of profit and
not because Of any need for additional
currency. Bankers held, however, that
the ultimate effect of the operation Of
the new law could not be determined
until it had been tried.
Other requests for information came
from the Halstead Exchange National
Bank, Chicago; the First National
Bank. Stroud, Okla: First National
Bank, El Monte, Calf; First National
Bank, Fortville, Ind; Union National
Bank, Wilmington, Del; First National
Bank. st. Johns, Kans.; Second Ma
tional Bank, Wilkesbarre, Pa; Citizens
National Bank, El Reno, Okla, and
Planters National Bank, Fredericks
burg Va.
The new law will work in this fash
ion: A bank having 100000 in eligible
bonds could issue total Of s95,o00 in
new currency. First the bank would
have to deposit the bonds with the
treasurer of the United States, but
would continue to receive interest from
the Government called for by the bonds.
Slight Expense Involved.
The bank would have to pay one
half per cent year for the privilege
of issuing the currency and pay for the
engraving and printing which would
be done at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing at Washington. The latter
expense would be small.
OF the 100000 deposited with the
Government the bank would have to
leave $4,000 of 1t on deposit with the
treasurer for the redemption fund, thus
putting $95 900 new money into cir
culation and still drawing full interest
on the 100000 and at q cost of less
than the interest received on the bonds.
There is nothing in the new amend
ment which permits any official to ex-
ercise any veto or discretionary power
in the issuance of the new currency.
1t provides that when a bank deposits
the eligible bonds with the treasurer
the controller Of the currency must
issue the new currency.
