The Public's LAWYER

TURTHER delay on the part of President Roosevelt
Il in appointing successor to Mr. William A. Roberts
as Peoples Counsel will be distinct disservice to the
District of Columbia.
Washingtonians properly have come to look to the
office of Peoples Counsel to protect their interests in
dealing with the public utility corporations of the city,
Without that protection they feel that apt
to be decided in favor of the corporations by default
Several weeks ago Mr.. Roberts, after successfully
handling the job for years, resigned to enter private
practice.
For reasons which very clear the President
delayed appointing successor prior to his departure
for South America.
Shortly before leaving the President indicated that
he wanted to look into several phases of the matter of
public utility regulation in the District before making
the appointment and intimated that he considering
proposal to leave the office of Peoples Counsel vacant
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT PHASES OF REGU-
LATION THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO CONSIDER
BUTWE KNOW OF NO ANGLE OF UTILITY REGU-
LATION HERE WHICH WOULD BE IMPROVED BY
DROPPING THE HIGHLY IMPORTANT PEOPLES
COUNSEL OUT OF THE PICTURE.
I An alert, vigorous and capable Peoples Counsel,
familiar with public utility law and alive to the fact
that his client is the public is proven factor in estab
fishing wise regulation OF the utilities IN the public IN
terest
The slightest study of the conduct of the office of
Peoples Counsel by Mr. Roberts should prove this to the
satisfaction of the President and everyone else
It is most important that the appointment be made
as soon as possible in order that the successor to Mr.
Roberts may have opportunity to famiarze himself
with the street situation before the Public Utilities
Commission opens hearings the valuation of the Cap
ital Transit Company early in the year.
= THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE INFORMED THAT
DURING HIS ABSENCE AND WHILE THE OFFICE
OF PEOPLES COUNSEL WAS LEFT VACANT THE
CAPITAL TRANSIT COMPANY ANNOUNCED ITS
INTENTION OF DROPPING THE DOLLAR PASS ON
ITS LINES, THUS IN EFFECT RAISING RATES
TWENTY FIVE PER CENT FOR THE LARGE BULK
OF ITS PASSENGERS.
Possibly Peoples Counsel could not have prevented
this step the part of the company but Peoples
Counsel would give to the public that
it will be adequately represented at the approaching
valuation hearings.

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Jessica Dragonette, radios most celebrated soprano, will inaugurate a new weekly series of half-hour musical programs over the WABC- Columbia network on Wednesday, January 13, from 9:30 to 1000 p. m. This feature, Miss Dragonette's first regular series in Columbia, will re- place the current Come On, Let's Sing" program being heard at the above mentioned time. Further pro- gram details, additional cast mem- bers, and orchestra will be an- nounced at later date.
 Miss Dragonette is a radio veter- an of many years, having come to the air-waves ten years ago as a sustaining network artist. Before her radio debut she had already carved out @ successful stage career and is probably the only outstand- ing artist today who has come to prominent attention by appearing in show without being seen by her audience.

 Winnie Lucarelli gave good account of himself against the Chemical, when the factory team surprised the Naugy team followers, and upset them for two games. Vinny had games of 102, 136 and 124.
 It is a surprising note to see how many of the bowlers in this league wear bowling shoes, we remember some years ago when 1t was a rare sight to see bowlers carrying along their shoes, but not today the first thing they get is the shoes, 1t just goes to show that the duckpin game is progressing.

 Stores B got battle from Meter A and were lucky to get an even break. They are in fist place by the slim margin of one point, at this time, but as they meet their arch rivals, Stores A, this weed, they are in danger of losing first place.
