Dividend Firms Under
Public Supervision.

The formation of private limited divi-
dend corporations, under public super
vision, to carry on housing develop
ments in Washington to replace

tions is proposed by bill introduced

This board not only would prepare
and supervise projects to be carried out
by private corporations, but would have

housing facilities are needed. Another
function Of the board would be to make
plans for "reconditioning of blighted
or slum areas, especially those which
will readily facilitate creation Of work
as a remedy for unemployment"

oped under the boards housing projects,
but not rent regulation generally
throughout the city, as discussed during

ings.

porations would be restricted to per

ture certificates.

priation Of s25,000 year for the opera
tions Of the housing board This would

POLICE MUST WAIT
FOR HUNDRED TRIAL
Suspect in 40 District Burglaries
Sentenced at Baltimore and
Is Wanted Elsewhere.

Washington authorities will have to
wait five years before they bring Ken
meth M. Hundred, accused of being
implicated In more than 40 burglaries
in the District, back to this jurisdiction.
Even then they probably will have to
compete with Georgia, Kentucky and
possibly New York, for his custody.
Hundred, who told police his real
name is Hyman Kronick, was sentenced
in Baltimore yesterday to serve five
years in the Maryland penitentiary
after pleading guilty to five burglary
charges and admitting he forced a
motorist to drive him away when he
was being trailed by detectives
The convicted man, who was arrested
after Washington detectives trailed Mrs.
Frances Hundred, his bigamous wife, to
New York, was sentenced by Judge Eli
Frank Of the Baltimore court, who COM
mented that Hundred was wanted by
police in Georgia, Kentucky and the
District of Columbia.
Hundred is under indictment by the
District grand jury on two charges OF
burglary. Washington police. who lost
out to Baltimore authorities in fight
for his custody last year, will file a
detainer with the Maryland Peni-
tentiary to bring Hundred back here
to stand trial when he completes his
sentence.
Mrs. Hundred, after being questioned
by Baltimore and Washington detec-
tives, was released. Hundred said his
wife knew nothing of his criminal
activities.

COMMISSION READY.
TO COOPERATE IN
EFFECT|NG MERGER.
Little Can Be Done, Says
Patrick, Until Lines
Approve Terms.
FINANCIAL SET-UP
WOULD BE DISCUSSED
Steps in Unifcation Await Presi-
dents Signature to Meas
ure Recently Passed.

The Public Utilities Commission,
Chairman Patrick announced today, IS
prepared to cooperate with the Capital
Traction and Washington Railway &
Electric companies In consummating the
corporate merger authorized in the joint
congressional resolution, now awaiting
the signature of President Hoover.
There is little the commission can do,
however, Chairman Patrick pointed out,
until the companies draw up and
approve a new unification agreement
containing articles Of Incorporation, the
proposed capital structure of the new
company, stock division arrangements
and other important financial details.
AS soon as this is done, he said, the
commission would invite representatives
of the two companies to conference
to discuss the proposed financial set-up
of the new company.
The companies are understood to be
ready to begin work on a unif1cation
agreement as soon as Mr.. Hoover af-
fixes his signature to the merger resolu-
tion. Details of this agreement are tc
be worked out by copmittees appointed
by the directors Of each company.
Regular Board Session.
The Board of Directors of the Wash
ington Railway & Electric Co., Is In
regular session this afternoon, but nc
action is expected to be taken on the
merger since the President has not
yet signed the resolution. Stockholders
of the Capital Traction Co. will elect
a new Board of Directors tomorrow, who
probably will take immediate steps tc
select q committee to negotiate with
representatives of the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co.
Chairman Patrick explained that the
commission must give its approval to
the merger plan as well as the financial
structure of the new company before the
consolidation can finally become effec-
tive. The first step, that of approx
ing the plan Of merger, was taken be-
fore the joint resolution was introduced
in Congress, but changes made in the
original arrangement, he said, will neces-
state renewed Endorsement by the COM
mission.
Two Vital Questions.
There are two questions in which the
commission will be vitality interested in
connection with the financial set-uI
of the new company-bonded indebt-
edness and the total amount Of ad-
ditional stock to be issued. These must
meet with the commissions approval
under the provisions of the resolution
authorizing the merger.
Questions of service, equipment
schedules and track relocations, accord
ing to Chairman Patrick, will not be
acted upon until the financial details
are out of the way. In the meantime
however, serious consideration will bt
given to plans for improving service
through a rearrangement of routes
tracks, schedules, etc. In this study the
commission will have the benefit Of the
various transportation surveys made BY
Charles Hansel, McClelland & Junkers-
field, and other engineering firms, wher
agitation for merger of the car line!
became intense some years ago.

TO TACKLE A BIG JOB

One of the biggest jobs assigned to
any appointee of President Roosevelt is
that handed to Arthur E. Morgan who will
head the Tennessee Valley Authority which
is to carry out the ambitious plans author
lied for the development and management
of the great projects existing or contem-
plated in the basin of the Tennessee river.
Mr.. Morgan has been president of
Antioch College at Yellow Springs O.,
since 1922. The selection Of college
president for such task would seem on it's
face to be unusual. to say the least, but it
happens that the new appointee had d
most impressive record as a civil engineer
before he became college president.
He is an internationally known author
ity on drainage and reclamation works,
having planned and superintendent the con-
struction Of IS water control projects.
Among these was an eight million dollar
reclamation project for the st. Francis val
ley in Arkansas. He has been supervis-
ing engineer of government drainage in
yestlgatioIls, IN charge of the design of re-
clamation works in the southern states,
and chief engineer of important flood con-
troll works in Ohio and Colorado.
He drafted or assisted in drafting re-
yised drainage codes adopted by Mime.
sofa, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ohio, Colorado.
and New Mexico. He, therefore, would
appear to be well qualified for his new
duties, which include the management of
Muscle Shoals and the vast new hydro
electric. flood control, navigation and re-
clamation works proposed for the Tennes-
see Valley.
Many Weighty problems confront Mr..
Morgan and his associates in this enormous
undertaking, and the manner in which
they 60 about solving them will be of in
terest to the entire country, as many mil
lions of public money will be involved.

WALL STREET

The Wall Street market seems to
possess a growing strength that promises
to carry it along on the upward path for
some time to come, which is certain to
give general satisfaction.
There are some dangers in the path
way ahead to higher levels, but the
probability is that they may not prove in
surmountable. @ss7f 1 81
All the government legislation is
frankly for the raising of values in terms
of the dollar, and where this is the ulti-
mate aim, there is reason for believing
that prices will continue to advance.
All price values are the result of sup
ply and demand and while there are
plenty of sellers, the ranks of whom will
be increased as prices rise, there will also
be plenty of buyers, who will be tempted
to speculate on the chances of the govern
ment aims succeeding.
There is still another argument at
the present time for higher prices of
securities, and that is the universal feeling
and confidence in the return of business
prosperity.
With the return of business to our in
dustrial corporations, the value of their
securities would naturally be enhanced by
their increased earnings
But there is a limit to these possible
increased values and caution should be
exercised to prevent purchases beyond a
reasonable prospective value.
Those who venture into the Wall
Street game must remember that all the
increased values at the present time are
purely speculative
