DECISION AGAINST
WHARF AFFIRMED
Appeals Court Majority 0pin-
ion in Ross|yn Case
Upho!ds Hurley.

The District Court of Appeals In q
3-to-2 decision today affirmed the &C
ton of the District Supreme Court up
holding the action of Patrick ]. Hurley
Secretary of War, in refusing a permit
to erect wharf on the Virginia shore
of the Potomac River, near Rosslyn, for
the purpose of locating oil tanks on
land owned by Lucien H. and Re-
bekah S. Greathouse
The majority opinion, written by Jus
tice Josiah A. Van Orsdel, points out
that the proceeding Is In mandamus
and that the petitioners do not show
that Secretary Hurley had mere min
iste1ial duty to perform or that they
had clear and unquestionable right
to compel the performance of that duty
The application for the permit was first
made in the name of the Sun Oil Co.,
which had contract to purchase the
land
Against Public Policy"
The chief of engineers ruled that the
proposed wharf would not interfere with
navigation, but Secretary Hurley de-
cided that the granting Of the permit
would be against public policy, because
of the proposed George Washington
Memorial Highway, which would take
in the land.
The issuance of a permit under the
conditions, the majority opinion de-
clared, would be IAN act of folly, for
the reason that if 1t Is found ultimately
that the Government is not the owner
of the land Immediately adjacent to
the river, provision has been made for
It's condemnation and ample funds ap-
propriated under the parking act to
acquire the lands adjacent to the river
for parking purposes"
I7S5 Compact Renewed.
In lengthy dissenting opinion, con-
Cured In by Justice William Hitz, JUS
tice D. Lawrence Groner reviews the
compact of 1785 between Maryland and
Virginia defining the rights to the Po-
tomac River and the ceding OF the lands
forming the District Of Columbia and
the recession to Virginia u its portion
and reaches the decision that the land
in question belongs to Virginia and not
to the United States. as claimed in the
majority opinion. The owners are en-
titled to the wharf privilege, the dis
senterS assert.
The dissenting opinion points out
that the parkway is conditioned on ap-
preparations by the States OF Virginia
and Maryland and the land owner may
not be required to hold in abeyance his
riparian rights. ITO say that, because
at some future time" declares Justice
,Groner, "the land or the water in front
of it may be needed for a work of pub
lie improvement, appellants property
rights are to be lost or must be held in
allegiance, is wholly without merit"

DEALERS REPEAT
PLEA FOR FREIGHT
REDUCTION ON COAL
]. c. C. Proposed Schedule
Held Insufficient-41 to 79
Cents Per Ton Asked.
BAL TIMORE JOINS
IN FIGHT FOR CUT
Four Carriers of Anthracite From
Pennsylvania Fields Oppose
Amy Lower Rates.

Coal dealers in Washington and
vicinity today repeated their requests
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for reduction in the freight
rates on shipments from the anthracite
fields OF Pennsylvania ranging from Al
to 79 cents per ton.
This action was taken in a brief filed
through John T. Money. counsel, which
attacked the proposed schedule of rates
recently set up by Examiner j. j. Will
liams Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, who likewise recommended a
cut, but not to the extent sought by the
coal men.
The Washington dealers were Joined
today by Baltimore coal interests who
have appeared with them in these pro-
ceedings which have been underway
for more than year. At the same
time objection was filed by four coal
carriers who are opposing any reduc-
ton whatever. These are the Balti-
more & Ohio, Pennsylvania, Reading
and Lehigh Valley.
Anthracite Rate Level.
The general level of rates now in
existence from the anthracite fields are
1928 for ton of 2,240 pounds of pre-
pared size coal; $3.02 for pea, and $2.65
for small sizes
These rates, with some differences
that are set up for various deliveries in
this area, apply from the three fields
Lehigh, Wyoming and Schuylkill.
The examiners report proposed to
set up corresponding rates of S3.04,
s29l and $2.79 from the Schuylkill
field. and schedule from the other
two fields that would not exceed these
rates by more than IS cents a ton.
The rates the shippers are asking are
S2.49. S2.37 and S2.24 for the three
coal sizes in question.
They are also asking that the rates
now In effect be considered unreason-
able as to past shipments, which would
allow them to collect reparations for al
legged overcharges for a period of two
years. The examiner had recommended
against holding the rates unreasonable
in the past which would have prevented
the coal men from collecting repara-
tions, and to this point they also take
exception In their brief.
Rate Basis 80 Years.
The coal men say that the present
basis of rates has been in existence 80
years. In the brief, 1t lists a number
Of other commodities, including lime,
fertilizer, coke and cement whose rate
it is pointed out Is exceeded In some
instances by 100 per cent, and in other
instances by nearly 100 per cent by the
coal rates.
The coal men say that any reduction
IN rates granted will be passed on to
the consumers here.
The Baltimore coal interests are
asking for rates which would be 10
cents per ton under the level for Wash
ington and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
