a ruling establishing the valuation,
providing for a six per cent return
on the investment, and ordering
reduction of about thirty per cent, in
ferry passenger fares.
The evaluation order ignored sworn
statements and departed from all
known and accepted principles of
law" Perlman said, adding that "this
is the first time I've ever seen a cal
culation like this in any case in the
country"
There was no basis to be found in
testimony or argument for the COM
missions valuation figures-new and
depreciation ferry terminals and
vessels, Perlman asserted.
ut appears you have used some
method of computation which we are
not privy to-" he said, "and I say you
can't do this to US. There isn't a
court in the country that would permit
you to do it."
He contended the commission had
arrived at it's decision by disregard
ing entirely the findings of it's own
experts and apparently had used per
centage basis to determine deprecia-
ton in a manner contrary to definite
opinions of the Supreme Court.
For depreciation purposes, he noted
the commission allowed three per cent
on the company's two newest ferry
boats, or service life of thirtythree
years. In doing so, he said, the utili-
ties agency quoted as authority man
dead sixteen years.

CRAB SHORTAGE AC-
COUNTS FOR HIGH PRICE

A great demand, offset by short
age of hard crabs, accounts for the
high price that the meat is bringing.
The shortage in the upper part of the
bay around Crisfield gives crabbers
around Kent Island and the Narrows
little hope for the season since crabs
must move past these districts to
reach local waters on their way from
the ocean.
Veteran watermen are divided in
their opinions as to the reason for
the shortage. Some lay the blame on
a scarcity of the female crab while
others say that it is due to the hard
winter. The scarcity is reported as
far south as South Carolina. The
only hope for local watermen now ia
for a run of crabs to come in FROM
the ocean which seems highly improb-
able at this late date.
The record catches of soft crabs
and peeler crabs reported in the past
few weeks has now dropped off to a
minimum thus causing a fluctuation
in the soft crab price. Local dealers
have more orders than they can sup
ply.

"Why?" she demanded. "Why

 With ovcrseas communications getting more difficult, it is not certain how long the Swiss will be able to get tea from Ceylon and China.

Ba|Iou Urges Expansion
OF Vocational Traininq

One Of the principal problems con-
fronting Washington's public school
system is the provision Of adequate
training for students unable to con-
tinue their education in institutions
Of higher learning. DR.. Frank W.
Ballou, District school superintend-
ent, yesterday told members Of the
Lions Clup
DR.. Ballou advocated expansion Of
vocational training In public schools
to prepare for careers "'teenage
youngsters who are finding 1t in
creasingly dimcult to obtain en-
ployment."'
The school ofncial made it clear
that such q vocational program
should be aimed principally at those
students who are unable, for one
reason or another. to continue their
education in colleges. I'VE nat
urally have no trouble with those
preparing to continue pursuit Of
their studies following high school
graduation" he said.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting
Of the club at the Mayflower Hotel,
DR.. Ballou cited as another prob
len the requests Of civic, patriotic
and religious groups for educational
programs in which they are par
ticularly interested.
He pointed out that there nat
urally is a limit to the number OF
new subjects which can be intro
duced, and that for each new SUBJ
ject added to the curriculum an
other study must be sacrificed.

Federal Regulation
OF Investment Firms
Is Asked by Wagner
S. E. c. Reports Lopses
In Payments Are Costly
To Mony Investors

Government regulation of invest
ment companies and advisers was
urged today in a statement by Sen
ator Wagner. Democrat, Of New
York, after the Securities and Ex-
change Commission informed Con-
gress yesterday that failure of pur.
chasers to keep up installment pay
ments on q certain type Of invest
ment had enabled some companies
to continue in business.
Senator Wagner charged that in
vestors had lost almost so cents on
the dollar because of ABUSES and
diflciencies." In the last decade, he
said, holders Of shares In investment
trusts have lost more than $3,0OO,-
10000 out of total investment of
around $1,000, 100000
The New York Senator, introduce
ing bill which would place invest
ment companies under the s. E. c.,
said:
"A large portion Of these losses is
directly attributable to those man
agements which refused to recognize
their flduciary obligations to their
shareholders and subordinated the
interest Of the investor to their own
pecuniary advantage"
Three Major Companies.
The commission said there were
only three major companies special
izing in lnstallment buying. Its re-
port was confined largely to two OF
them-Investors Syndicate, with
gross assets of $92, 500 ,349 on Decem-
Der II, 1896, and Fidelity Investment
Association. with $29, ,449 ,919 on that
date.
These certificates studied were de-
scribed as lin essence. simply unse-
cured obligations of the companies
which issue them to pay a specified
sum to the holder at q specified
future date, provided the purchaser
promptly, and without any de-
linquency. makes all the payments
required by these contracts or GER
titicates."
In the survey of Investors Syndi-
cate. covering the 10-year period
1926. the commission said:
THE capital loss of $l3,735 ,00C
sustained by the holders of lapsed
and surrendered certificates repre-
sents their actual contribution to
the company. contribution which
has enabled the corporation to con-
tinue as a going concern, inasmuch
as its net income from its invest
ment sources has been inadequate
for that purpose"
The report said that the expert
ence Of purchasers of Fidelity In.
vestment Association certificates
appears to have been unsatisfac-
tory. as q whole"
Those who kept up payments until
maturity Jared satisfactorily, the
S. E. c. said, but added that "a large
majority" terminated the certificates
before maturity by lapse or sur
render and suffered substantial
losses"
The report estimated that holders
Of association certificates for the
10-year period lost $5,210,000. equa
to 81 per cent Of the SIS, ,6S2 900 they
paid in during the 10 years. --

Streets In Bad Condition

There has been a great deal of un-
favorable comments regarding the de-
plorable condition of the Browning
streets. The road around the public
square is undoubtedly in the most in
excusable condition, and the outraged
citizens Of Browning are becoming
quite concerned about it. There are
holes in the center Of the road which
are about IL to IA inches deep and
are making traffic over the road al
most impossible. Even a pedestrian
finds it rather difficult to walk over
and it is reported that these unsightly
holes which are menace to safe driv-
ing were the cause of police officer
who while trying to enforce the trus.
and confidence placed in him in try :
ing to capture culprit stepped in one
of these badger holes and as a result
the lawbreaker was able to make a
safe getaway and the officer who fell
in the holes received cuts and bruises
about the leg, almost breaking it.
When are the city officials going to
take some action in repairing the
streets? 1t wouldn't be very expensive
to fill the holes with dirt or prepared
asphalt. it wouldn't take much time to
make the repairs, so what is holding
them back.
If the city cannot meet the expense
OF this small job. why not take up a
collection. or better still what's the
matter with taxing the Illegally OPP
Grated slot machines in town. that
would solve the problem. and it should
be done before winter sets in.
