ened today as DR.. Joseph Z.
Maddy, director of the National
Music Camp, left to recruit ad-
dltional schools for the proposed
postwar project.
DR.. Maddy. reporting that a
complies network Of 35 stations

eight institutions already have
agreed to join the project. -7
They include Michigan State
College, University of Michigan,
Detroit Board of Education,
Pontiac High School, Bay City
Junior College, Central State
Teachers College, Albion Col
lege and Traverse City High

DR.. Maddy estimated that
each station will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. The project,
n" explained, was made pos
Sible by federal communica-
tons commission direction in
1910 which established five ra-

have proposed that the state
legislature be requested TO fl
nance in part the project. They
estimated that $4,000 a year
would meet administrative and
maintenance costs and that
Sl75.000 would cover half the
cost of completely equipping
the 35 stations.
Programs on the network
DR.. Maddy said, would originate
at the various colleges and high
schools, servicing all members
by short-wave hook-ups instead
of costly leased wires. Locally,
the stations would broadcast

Second Witness Back,
New Basis Of Fixinu
Pepco Depreciation
Chief Engineer Of PUG
Testifies in Favor of
'Stroight-Line Method

Fred A. Sager, chief engineer OF
the Public Utilities Commission, to-
day Joined Charles w. Smith, chief
OF the Bureau of Accounts, Finance
and Rates of the Federal Power
Commission, in urging a change in
the depreciation policies OF the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co.
Mr.. Sager, a witness in the annual
power rate hearings now before the
PUG, testified in favor of the
straight line method" of determin-
ing depreciation-the method by
which the annual depreciation
charges are determined by taking
the original cost of property and
dividing it by the anticipated life of
the equipment.
The witness said he did not be-
lieve the present limitation of 20
per cent for depreciation reserves
allowed the company was sound
He said past study indicated that
such a limitation might prove serious
to fthe company and said the
"straight-line method" would "tend
to make the integrity of it's capital
more secure
Yesterday Mr.. Smith advocated
the straight-line method and sug-
gested a change from Pepco's un-
deprecated to a deprecated rate
base. He also criticized the 20 per
cent limitation on depreciation re-
serves.
