Plans for the development in

The present gardens in Wash

inadequate and not as of high

parison with those of other coun-

Consensus of opinion of those
in today's conference was that
plans should be developed under
which supervision of the garden
would be either transferred to
the Department of Agriculture,
or put under an independent Or.

The Senate, whenever attempts

PUG. ORDERS
PHONE RATE
INQUIRY
Depreciation Probe Here May
Be Spearhead of National
Drive to Cut Charges
BY EARL GOODWIN

The Public Utilities Commission
today started its expected attack
on the c. & p. Telephone Com
pany rate of depreciation by ask.
ing Andrew Sangster, national
utility expert, to take charge OF
an investigation into the matter.
Depreciation is one of the
closely guarded items in the tele-
phone rate basis and the action
of the Utilities Commission today
is expected to be the opening gun
in what may turn out to be a
nationwide war in which the en-
tire Bell system is arrayed against
the utility commission OF every
State.
Before the fight is over, it is ex-
pectetd the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be involved and
also the newly formed Communi-
cations Commission. which al
ready has announced an investiga-
ton into the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
To Probe All Utilities
Today's action in opening the
depreciation fight is a part OF .
general program which the Utili-
ties Commission has planned in
which an examination Of all utn-
ity corporations is involved.
One law provides that the
amount Of money telephone COM
panies may set aside for the re-
nsWal of their plant is to ~ fcl
ever in the jurisdiction Of The IN.
terstate Commerce Commission.
But that body has never done
much about it. II
Consequently telephone officials
have had plenty Of justification
in asking that the depreciation
rates be undisturbed locally until
the I.C.C. awoke and did some
thing about them.
r. U. C. Power Upheld
But recently the Supreme Court
of the District has taken the posi-
ton that until the ice. does
bestir itself on depreciation, the
Public Utilities Commission Of the
District of Columbia has every
right to probe into the matter.
Telephone rates for users are
involved. It is said in the offices
of the Utilities Commission that
nine dollars a year Of every tele-
phone bill goes to build up the
depreciation fund.
This may be perfectly all right,
according to the Utilities Commits
sion, but it expresses a warm de-
sire to find out about it.
A hearing probably will be
started in the District Building
