PHONE HEARINGS
OPEN TOMORROW
Rate Inquiry to Be Held Without
Determining Valuation
Of Company.

Public hearings on Washington's
telephone rates will begin before the
Public Utilities Commission at 10 am.
tomorrow. The hearings are being held
without a valuation, as the commission
intends to seek to force rates down in
advance of any valuation which might
come later.
The company has been ordered to file
statistics relating to its earnings in
preparation for the hearing. and this
has been done. 1t is understood the
company claims that during 1881 it
earned S2,250.0O0, applicable to return
on an undepreciated rate base Of $751;
$4,000, the rate base being the original
valuation of 1914, plus net additions
and betterments at cost to date. This
would give the company return Of ap-
proximately 7.8 per cent on its rate
base.
The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions will insist at the hearing on a
valuation. although urging present re-
duction regardless of the outcome of the
valuation in the future.
The commissions accounting force
has been working overtime in preparing
figures for the hearing. as well as in
checking the figures submitted by the
company.

House Group Decides to Ad-
here Strictly to Its
Instructions.
SENATE'S LUMP SUM
STILL CHIEF OBSTACLE
Compromise Expected to Be Reach
ed on $4,O0O,0OO Added
to Measure.

Senate and House conferees on the
District OF Columbia appropriation bill
were to hold their first joint meeting
today in an endeavor TO reconcile differ
ences on the additional 100000 added
to the bill in the Senate.
Before going into the conference, the
House conferees, under the leadership
OF Representative Cannon of Missouri,
chairman Of the District Appropriations
Subcommittee, held a brief session
earlier in the day. They reached no
definite conclusion On any of the con-
troversial matter, beyond indicating they
would adhere as strictly as possible TO
the instructions of the House to insist
on its provisions in the bill. In the
absence OF Senator Bingham of Con-
necticut, the Senate conferees will be
headed by Senator Nye of North Dakota.
Lump Sum Chief Obstacle.
The chief obstacle in the way Of
agreement on the bill lies in the So
$4,000 Federal lump sum inserted by
the Senate. the House having held out
for S6,500,000 as the Federal contribu-
tion. 1t was indicated in both House
and Senate circles that the deadlock
which is bound TO come eventually will
result in a compromise, as last year.
The Senate, however. is determined to
hold out for the larger amount.
Another disagreement has arisen over
the 100000 relief appropriation made
available by the Senate to the Board Of
Public Welfare to take care of the IN
situation.
La Guardia Welcomed.
Representative La Guardia of New
YORK, who expressed opposition to ad-
1ltlonal appropriation yesterday. was
informed by Cannon he would be vel.
come to appear before the conferees.
1t was expected the conferees would
AXE up minor amendments first. leav-
ng the always controversial lump sum
ssue until the last. As the bill passed
he Senate it carried a total of S43.-
l09. 126, the House having cut the
budget to S39,9l3,8l0.
Failed to Pass Tax Laws.
The position Of House confereeS on
The Federal lump sum is influenced by
the failure of the Senate to enact any
Of the Mapes bills increasing local
taxes. which the House passed early in
the session as justification for lower
Federal contribution. With this addi-
.icnal 100000 in revenue, certain of
he House members in a discussion on
he floor when the District bill was sent
o conference, agreed with Mapes that
he higher lump sum inserted by the
Senate would be unnecessary. 1t is now
apparent that none of these measures
Will be passed at this session.
Representative Blanton of Texas

ate so as not to add any tax burden on
