D. c. Investment Houses
Seek Share in Marketing
S15,O00,0 900 Issue.

Washington investment houses are
expected to make a bid to the Public
Utilities Commission to handle the
marketing distribution OF the pro-
posed SIS, 5,000. 900 bond issue, applied
for by the Potomac Electric Power
Co.
Robert E. Lynch, former assistant
corporation counsel and attorney for
the Robert C. Jones Co.. called on
William A. Roberts, peoples counsel.
yesterday and asked that he intervene
on behalf of local brokers to have the
securities offered here.
Roberts, who has consistently sup
ported the proposal of having all utili-
ties operating in Washington do their
financing locally, said he would act on
a formal application not only for
the Jones company, but for any other
local investment houses interested.
II have always contended," Roberts
said, that Washington can handle
such financing as the SIS 100000 for
the P. E. P. Co. In fact, the Wash
ington market has actually absorbed
even larger issues than that and
feel sure local dealers can underwrite
this issue"
Roberts also pointed out that in
the past, when securities of local
utilities have been marketed through
New York, they eventually came back
here at about 50 per share higher,
that amount being tackled on by the
New York dealers for their share Of
the transaction.
Lynch indicated that other Wash
ington firms would join the Jones
Co. in the bid to offer to handle the
bonds here

The special Senate committee ap-

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia,

however, is expected to continue for

the Senate at the opening Of the new
Congress next January, or from time

Another development during the

leave at 26 instead Of 80 days, reducing
the limit on cumulative leave from
120 to so days, and eliminating the
House provision to allow additional
leave for overtime work. Another

new CHANCE GIVEN
D. c. BALLOT BILL
Virginia Measure Shifted to
Committee Headed by
C0.Patron.

RICHMOND, February 27-The
Daughton resolution, seeking national
representation for the District of Co.
lumbia. was given new lease on life
today when it was transferred from
the House Rules Committee to the
Committee on Federal Relations and
Resolutions.
Given up for lost when it was re-
ferred by Speaker Ashton C. Dovell,
an announced opponent of the right of
franchise and representation for the
District, to his own committee, it de-
veloped today that the Speaker Is
unable to assemble a quorum of his
committee because of the absence of
two members engaged on tobacco-con.
troll legislation in Washington.
Headed by Co-Patron.
This was the reason assigned today
by Doven for transferring the meas
ure to the committee headed by Dele.
gate Ralph H. Daughton of Norfolk,
co-patron of the resolution with Dele.
gate William D. Medley of Arling-
ton County.
While promising proponents a hear
ing, Dowell had said he was against
the resolution, as evidenced by the
fact that similar piece of legisla-
ton in the last session was killed by
him when he had it referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions.
Daughton had said if he could get
the measure before his own commit.
tee he believed he could get it report
ed to the floor Of the House.
Constitutional Change Urged.
The resolution memorializes Con-
gress and pass and submit to the States
for ratification the proposed consti-
tutional amendment which would give
the District representation in Con-
gress and also give citizens the right
Of franchise.
Daughton was to call his commit
tee for action on the measure as soon
as possible.
