DUE SOON
ON SUIT COSTS

Several test cases, filed some
time ago to determine the right
of the Public Utilities Commission
to force public utility concerns to
bear the cost of court proceedings
brought to enforce an order of the
commission, have been docketed
for trial, it was announced today
by William A. Roberts, assistant
corporation counsel.
The caSes-againSt the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany and the Capitol Traction
Company-are for sums ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 and involve
the cost of rate proceedings in
court.
A bill which would remove all
doubt and place the court costs
in such cases on the companies
was introduced at the last session
of Congress, but did not reach a
hearing. It is expected it will be
taken up again at the coming ses-
sion.
The cases now docketed were
filed in 1882, but have been held
up pending the completion of
some other cases by the commits
sion. Date for trial of the suits
is to be set soon.

Seal has held conferences with
a number of the county dairy
farmers during the past two days
and said he found approximately

indebted and that they are getting
less for their milk, despite an in
crease in costs of feed.
The date for the hearings be-
fore the Senate subcommittee
probably will be around the mid

Annie, who was there again to

against a neighbor, admitted that
she had brought so many people
to court on similar charges that
she could not even guess at the

Peoples Counsel Tells Board
of Trade of His Efforts
In Behalf of Plan

A reply to the letter of Fred
A. Berlin, secretary of the Ma
tional Board of Trade, urging
adoption of a scent street car
fare here, was sent today by
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech.
Berlin's letter called attention
to the low earnings of the local
traction companies and declared
that each increase in fare has
resulted in a reduction in reve-
nue..
Plan Has Two Sides
Hence, he pointed out:
ut is apparent that the re-
turn to a Scent fare would be
the salvation of the companies,
and would help the public as
WELL"
Berlin added that other cities
have noted an increase in reve-
nue. of traction companies after
reducing fares.
Keech expressed a gr e m n t
with Berlin'S views and called at
tention to his recommendation,
September 2, 1882, to the Public
Utilities Commission and the trac-
ton companies that a combina-
tion 5-and-10-cent fare be tried,
the lower fare to apply on short
hauls.
Refers to Bus Plan
Keech also referred to the Pc
tition of two bus lines serving
Northern Virginia seeking to con-
duct an intra-District business,
presumably on scent fare basis
and declared the petition affords
an 'ideal opportunity for trial
of a scent fare" A decision in
this case by the Public Utilities
Commission is expected Monday.

who until today never I'D been
haled into court.
Now, ho%ever, Carson has a
conviction recorded against him,
but the odd part of the story is
that Carson proved to be both

When Carson moved into his
present home, the yard was full
of trash. He complained to the
health department, not once, but
a number of times.
The health department., acting
upon the complaints, followed it's
usual procedure and issued a war

ing NRA emblems and later re-

sales, it was learned today.
w. T. Woodhouse, jr., president
of the Woodbridge Stationery and

those business houses which have
signed the code and are allowed
to display the emblem.
The Government only furnishes
one emblem, Woodhouse said, ard
has given approval to certain
companies to print smaller en-
blems to be used on goods sold.
Before the seals are sold, Wood
house said, a certificate is re-
quired from the purchaser show

use them.
