CENTRAL MARKET
URGED BY ROBERTS
Superintendent of Weights
Says More Adequate Space
Needed for Dealers.

Development of one centrally To-
Gated market for a limited number
of dealers in meats and other COM
modltleS usually sold within a market
building was suggested today by George
M. Roberts, superintendent of weights,
measures and markets, in his annual
report to the District Commissioners
Such a new market and provision
OF ample accommodations for farm
ers now scattered around the several
old markets in various sections of the
city. would greatly improve public
market conditions here, he said.
Need More Space.
Accommodations for farmers at the
new Produce Market at Eleventh and
streets southwest, he said, are in
adequate and this results in diScom-
fort to both farmers and buyers. II
operation of this market is to be con-
tlnued on its present site, much addi-
t1onal shelter space should be pro-
vlded and the entire site should be
paved, he declared
Roberts also urged an increase in the
number of inspectors for his depart
ment and an increase in salaries so that
trained inspectors might be retained.
He said the fund used for purchases of
commodities from dealers for making
tests of weights and measures should
be increased two or three times to as
sure ample protection for the public.
- Prosecutions in Year.
The report shows that short weight
or measure selling last year resulted in
II prosecutions. Numerous cases of
cheating were found in sales of poul-
try, meats, gasoline and other items.
Poor and ignorant consumers are usual
ly victims of the greatest amount of
cheating through short-weight scales,
he said.
He reported that 6,817 measuring in
struments or scales, out of a total of
l 1,444,922 examined by his inspectors
were found to be faulty.

FINAL ACTION DUE
UPON CAR MERGER
Utilities Commission Expect
ed to Approve Plan as
1t Stands.

The street car merger agreement,
which was discussed at open hearings
before the Public Utilities Commission
Yesterday, will come up for final action
before the Commission Thursday. 1t
is regarded as certainty that the
commission will then approve the
merger as it stands. Stockholders OF
the merging companies vote upon the
plan a week from today. If they ap-
prove it, as is confidently expected,
only the formality of filing certificate
of the corporation with the recorder
of deeds remains to make the merger
an accomplished fact.
An analysis Of the power contract
to be executed between the Potomac
Electric Power Co. and the Capltal
Transit Co., the new merger company
made today by Peoples Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech showed the power
company will be selling electricity at
a profit Of 1888 per cent.
Objected to Power Sale.
For many years objection has been
raised frequently to the fact that
power has been sold to the washington
Railway g. Electric Co. at a loss ano
users of electricity have been support
ing the street railway system.
The present rate for power sold to
the WASHINGTON Railway & Electric Co
works out a 2.8 mills per kilowatt hour
The rate to the new company WILL De
5.e3 mills per kilowatt hour. Thsee are
not strictly comparable, however, pc
cause at present the railway company
pays transmission costs Of the power
and under the new contract the power
company will pay these costs, except 1of
taxes and insurance.
According to testimony yesterday by
Chief Accountant B. M. Bachman OF
the commission, the cost Of power at
the present market price OF coal Is 5:66
mills per kilowatt hour, including nat
per cent return on the investment In
the Benning power plant. The price
which the new company will pay Is 5.93
mills per kilowat hour. although this
price is subject to variations in the
price of coal.
S10,305, 500 Increase Seen.
It also developed today that after the
merger Is accomplished there Will be
sic, sos, 800 more in securities outstand-
ing against the properties OF the power
company and the new street car com.
pany than there are at present against
the power company and two street car
companies.
When the new company is formed
