the survey by the Federal Power
Commission discloses that the
rate to domestic consumers in
the District of Columbia is the
lowest in the Nation. The rates
In the District are lower than the
average rates of all of the pri-
vately owned companies and most
of those which are publicly
owned.
Yet in the face of such infor-
nation it is found that at the
District Building the current is
supplied from an outmoded plant
in the basement. Some of the
citizens believe that the electric
rate problem in the District
Building is still to be solved.
Many Of the Office buildings
and large stores years ago had
their own plants which they
have long since done away with.
In a few places the plant was
retained for emergency use, but
In some cases the looked-for
emergency was SO long coming
that the old plant was ripped
out and the space put to a bet
ter use.

Traffic Light Survey
Made by Engineering Group.

Under the above title, the De-
cember 26 issue of the Bulletin
of the Junior Board of Commerce
tells of the business like job done
by its Traffic Engineering Com
mittee in making traffic counts.
This is a part of its program OF
cooperation with the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic.
At several points where the de-
partment is planning to install
lights the committee has made
traffic counts to determine the
location of the lights. At other
points where lights are already
in operation counts have been
made to learn when the lights
should be turned on or off.
Some of these counting squads
covered the period between 6 and
8 am. to determine when the
lights should be turned on. Some
of the points covered in this work
were the following: Rhode Island
avenue and North Capitol street,
Rhode Island avenue and Seventh
street NV. and Rhode Island
avenue and Eleventh street NV.
The Junior Board is proud of
its work this year for the Com
musity Chest. It's division again
went over the quota and ended
up with the highest percentage
of any division in the Metropol-
itan area.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

There have been few civic hap
penings during Christmas week.
but this is not unusual. But
for the speculations as to the
contents of the Commissioners
report on the proposed reorgani-
zation of the District government
and the bill they art drafting.
there would be little for the press
to record. ITO be or not to be?
That is the question" is only an
other way of stating, Suffrage
with reorganization or reorgani-
zation without suffrage" is every
body's guess.
The Commissioners report is
expected to reflect some of the
views of the President, but there
is very curious feature in con-
nection with this mysterious
report and bill. 1t must go to
the Bureau of the Budget for ex-
animation and study before it
can be sent on to the House Dis
trict Subcommittee or released
for publication. Civic leaders re-
gard as a peculiar requirement
that a report requested of the
Commissioners by a duly author
lied subcommittee OF the House
of Representatives may not be
sent to the committee until
passed upon by the Federal Bu-
reau of the Budget.
The entire report and draft Of
the bill are expected to be ex-
posed to the light of day and the
scrutiny of the taxpayers early
next week and the indications
are that there will be a number
of dissatisfied citizens.
Congress will be back on
Wednesday and civic affairs are
likely to he resumed with a
bang. Quantities of new bills are
expected to be introduced to add
to a large number now pending
before committees. The civic
groups will study these and press
many for enactment into law.
The outlook for District legisla-
ton, never none too bright, is not
very hopeful in a presidential
election year.

Delay Anticipated
In COnsidera lion of Budget.

At the beginning of 1899 it
was reported that Representative
Ross Collins of Mississippi, then
chairman of the Appropriations
District of Columbia Subcom-
mittee, was already actively at
work studying the District esti-
mates. At the present time
that subcommittee appears to be
completely disorganized and no
one willing to take the chair
manship. Several have been
mentioned for the place but are
understood to have no desire for
the assignment.
There has been a recent sug-
gestion that the House rules be
amended so as to permit the
House District Committee to
handle the District appropria-
tioE bill. This is regarded as
rather unlikely. Leaders in the
House have been unwilling here
tofore to even permit Represent
atives who are members of the
District Committee to serve on
the Appropriations Subcomnit-
tee as is done in the Senate.
There was considerable civic
pressure brought TO bear to ac-
complish such reform at the be-
ginning OF the present Congress,
but leaders turned deaf ear.
Such a change of procedure
would increase greatly the i'm
portance of the District COM
mlttee and be of probable bene-
tit to the District.
In view OF these conditions a
delay is anticipated in the con-
sideratlon of the District budget.
Appropriation bills are required
to originate in the House, so
there must be a committee au-
thorized to handle The matter
before hearings can start.
