Probably there never has been such
a large supply of Irish potatoes on
the market here in North Wilkesboro

consequence North Wilkesboro has
been over-supplied, almost or entirely
so. Seed potatoes from across the
Blue Ridge on the trucks or curb are
bringing fifty cents retail price. One
farmer from Ashe said No. rs were
bringing IS cents; another Ashe man
was asked "what are potatoes bring
ing? replied they were bringing
"nothing!" Mr.. J. G. Bare, of Laurel
Springs, who had load here Tuesday
of last week, said they were bringing
SO and 65 cents that day. A few days
later in the week they were As cents,

ONFEREES STUDY
SLIDING GAS SCALE
Agreement Is Sought by
Utilities Commission
and Company.

Agreement on revision of the form
of the proposed sliding scale plan for
annual adjustment Of the rates of the
washington and Georgetown Gas Light
Cos. was being sought today at a con-
ference between the Public Utilities
Commission and company spokesmen.
Meeting at II am. the group took
up proposed revision of the new
schedule of rates submitted by the
companies, to consider suggested
changes which would give some addi-
tional benefits to the average domestic
consumer.
It has been suggested this be ac-
complished by transferring some Of
the proposed rate reductions from
other brackets to the rates for the
domestic consumer using from 1000 to
5000 cubic feet q month.
Savings Estimated.
The new schedules originally pro-
posed by the companies. commission
officials figured, would permit reduc-
ton of 4 cents or less in the monthly
bills Of the large body of domestic
consumers. who use gas only for cook
ing Greater reductions were offered
for those using gas for house heating
and water heaters. Still greater re-
ductions were proposed for the COM
mercial and industrial brackets where
there is heavy monthly consumption.
The plan calls for an immediate
net additional rate cut $685. below
present rates, including the S.5 per
cent discount which has been in effect
since the Summer of 1892. Altogether
the gross cut Is figured at 1851 900.
The conference today was to deal
also with a proposed restatement of
the framework of the sliding scale
plan, considered at protracted con-
ference yesterday afternoon, which
ended after pm. Officials refrained
from outlining the items discussed.
AbrogatiOn Discussed.
From developments at the hearings
It was presumed the group discussed
the question of whether the compan-
les or the commission, without notice,
could abrogate the sliding-scale plan
and the question of ALLEGATION of
properties, revenues and expenses Of
service of the companies TO the su-
burban communities beyond the Dis
trict lines. Many other items were
understood to be up for reconsidera-
ton.
Those attending the conferences
were Utility Commissioners Riley E.
Elgen, Richmond B. Keech and Col.
Dan l. Sultan; Corporation Counsel E
Barrett Prettyman and his assistant,
Hinman D. Folsom, commission coun-
sci; Peoples Counsel william A. Rob-

They are taken out to the site daily
in buses from transient lodges in
Washington. They are not housed
here because DR.. Tugwell feels they
should be free to sever their relief
connection and become permanent
part of community whenever they
can find private employment, There
has been a noticeable reduction al
ready in the number of former
transients, he reported.
To a question by Senator Smith,
Democrat. of South Carolina. as to
whether he had ever had mud on his

Agriculture that he had worked on a

Der 12.-The Resettlement Ad-

4 housing development is a long
way from the ouse-and-garden stage,
but just as far from the day two
months ago when relief workers
started to clear a site for the $780,
900 project.
Shepherded by DR.. Rexford G.
Tugwen, resettlement administrator,
after whom the project is nicknamed,
group of reporters who had not seen
this area since work started october

They found striking changes.
Where once had been nothing but
wild, tangled woodland was a hum
ming construction camp. There were
rows of neat pine tool houses and
warehouses, a shelter for the work.
men, two or three hundred men dig
ging, saving and cutting. The smoke
of dozens of brush fires smudged the
Winter air, while snorting tractors
snatched out 70-foot trees or hauled
logs to be stacked for lumber.
With the smoke and noise, the
Jagged stumps of trees and churned
mud, it all suggested mo mans land"
But rows of big numbered signs made
one think of a golf driving range.
These, it was explained. are concen-
tration points for each labor crew.
The men report to their foremen and
get their tools there.
The change since october Is appar-
ent when a visitor leaves the concrete
highway out of Berwyn for the yellow
dirt roads of the projects 5000 acres.
The roads are wider and better graded.
Groups of men, iobless until recently,
are at work along the roads'des. Un-
painted frame guard houses, manned
by former transients now proudly
wearing nickel badges, have been
erected throughout the area.
I'VE have a lot of those little
houses" an official said. THE fire
hazard in this woodland is pretty great
at this time of year"
DR.. Tugwell and his cohorts are
especially interested in the projects
nurseries. There is master" nursery
and several smaller ones. The former
was visited by yesterdays party. 1t is
managed by ruddy-faced, white
thatched Scot, Angus B. MacGregor.
Twenty-Five years ago, MacGregor
was chief landscape gardener for the
Duchess of Albany, aunt of the Prince
of Wales, on her estate at Claremont,
Esher. He came to the United States
IL years later and was landscaper for
j. P. Morgan on his Long Island
estate. With the coming of the de-
preston, landscape gardening became
a luxury profession" and MacGregor
became a transient. His talent was dis
covered after he was enlisted on this
project from District transient lodge.

than $4,000 worth of trees and about
5000 plants. Dogwood, holly, fruit
