James F. Butler, 80 colored. was

Federal Objections
To Pepeo Testimony

Exhibits on Compony's
Depreciation Policy

The Federal Government failed
again today to block admission of
exhibits submitted by witnesses for
the Potomac Electric Power Co. in
the anual power rate hearings be-
fore the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Latest objections were made by
Alan Johnstone, general counsel for
the Federal Works Agency, to ex-
hibits of Max C. Mason, Pepco sur
vey engineer, on depreciation poll
cies OF the company. Mr.. Johnstone
objected on the grounds that the
statute required the PUG to arrive
at actuarial rates for depreciation
and not to accept the judgment of a
group of company engineers.
Attempts of Mr.. Johnstone to
question r. R. Dunn, assistant to
Alfred G. Neal, Pepco president, on
the possible effect of the holding
company relationship between the
North American Co. and Pepco were
blocked by the commission.
Yesterday, Mr.. Johnstone made
several unsuccessful attempts to
strike out the testimony and exhibits
of William v. Burnell vice president
of Stone & Webster Engineering
Corp.
Mr.. Burnell's appraisal figures in
dicated that the company was en-
titled to higher earnings, although
the company is not asking for an
increase in rates at this time.
THE company says it is not asking
for more than it is now getting"
observed Mr.. Johnstone. Since it
is not seeking earnings on these
computations, then the computa-
tions are of no value in this case"
Mr.. tombstone then suggested the
purpose of the exhibits might be to
show what would happen if the
present sliding-scale Arrangement
for rate determination were aban-
doned.
II the purpose of these exhibits is
to place the consumer and the COM
mission between the horns of a
dilemma then I say that is
toying with this commission and
the public interest" he added.
