scale the company operated on a
scale fixed by the District Supreme
Court in q consent decree of a
rate fight in 1924. When Rich
mond Keech, now q member Of
the PUG, took office as peoples
counsel he began a fight with the
then Utilities Commission to set
up new scale Of the fixing Of
rates.
1t was three years before he
convinced the commission that
under its organic act it was en-
powered to fix the rates. The
cimmission took the position that
since the scale had been fixed by
the court, it could not disturb 1t.
The existing scale was the out
come Of the victory which Mr..
Keech forced upon the old com.
mission.
1t was revealed today that the
Potomac Electric Power Company,
operating through its subsidiary,
the Braddock Light and Power
Company, already has made sub
Etantial inroadS into electric
service formerly virtually monop-
olized by the Virginia Public Serv.
Ice Company.
Agreement Nullified
That further invasions will be
made into the territory formerly
reserved exclusively to the Vir.
ginia Company is based on the
ever-growing agitation by Arling-
ton county residents for Pepco
service and on the fact q one
time agreement between the util-
tiles not to enter each others
territory has been nullified.
The former agreement was abro-
gated about a month ago when
the stock of the Virginia Company
was purchased by the powerful
Associated Gas and Electric Cor
poration.
PEPCO is chargi ngArlington
county electric users 3.9 cents per
kilowat hour, while the Virginia
Public Service receives 8 cents per

Officials of PEPCO denied there
will be a rate war, while officials
Of the Virginia company refused
to comment on what action, II
any, they will take to meet the
electric rates now being offered
in the county by PEPCO.
Major Calvin Kephart, chair
man Of the Arlington County Pub
lie Utilities Commission, has re-
newed q former request signed by
1000 residents Of the county for
PEPCO service.

"The Associated probably will
attempt to block PEPCO from
making further inroads into Ar
lington county which was formerly
reserved under terms Of an agree

"The Associated may take the
case to courts on the grounds the

here to say the invasion Is
