Need for Study
OF Exhibits Halls
Transit HearinQ
Cutting $l4, 900, 900
From Rate Base Is
Chief Point at Issue
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

. The Capital Transit Co. valuation
and rate hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission was in ad-
journment today until 10 am. We'd
nesday, March 81, to give commits
sion and company accountants
time to study more than 80 exhibits
ranging from l to go pages each
offered by both sides.
The real conflict, up to the pres
ent point in the hearings, which
started Monday, is over the question
of whether some $14,0O0,000 should
be eliminated from the rate base as
advocated by v. A. McElfresh, COM
mission chief accountant.
This amount, Mr.. McElfresh has
explained, represents the excess oil
the recorded book cost of plant ano
equipment from the estimated orig
inal cost of the property. The COM
pany contends it represents acqui-
sition costs and expenditures made
prior to the formation of the pres
ent company in 1888 through the
merger of the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co. and the Capital Trac.
ton Co.
E. Barrett Prettyman, transit COM
pany counsel, vigorously maintained
yesterday that the $4,000, 900 die
not represent intangibles. He argued
that the excess of recorded book
cost Of plant and equipment owe,
original cost rose in 1888 because the
fair market value" of the property
acquired was higher than when the
property was first devoted to public
service.
When Chairman James H. Flana-
gan asked Mr. Prettyman if he was
serious" about keeping the $4,000
600 in the rate base, the counsel
replied in the affirmative and cited
three court decisions to support the
company's position.
Mr.. Flanagan then asked if Mr.
Prettyman thought the $l4 600, ,O0(
should be kept in the rate base
regardless of the type of trans.
actions" that took place among some
predecessor companies. Mr.. Pretty
man replied that he did not fee
that what happened in the years
prior to 1888 counted
Cites Hearing in Congress.
Mr.. Prettyman explained thai
when the PUG approved the is.
suance of $24,000,00 of common
stock at the time of the merger il
did so after Maj. Gen. Mason M
Patrick, then PUG chairman, hac
assured congressional committee
hearing the merger resolution that
no securities would be authorized
unless backed by tangible assets. Mr.
Prettyman also pointed out that in.
tangibles had been excluded by the
commission in the 1919 valuation
reports of the traction compan,
and Wreco.
Mr.. McElfresh has listed the book
cost Of plant and equipment of the
company on December 81, 1914, al
$60,817, ,430.43, or $14,205, 1886. 40 in ex.
cess OF the original cost of the prop.
erty, $46,612,04203. Company studies
indicate that their estimates of his.
torical or original cost is roughly
the same as the commission figures.

Nimitz Warns of Tough Fighting
Meets Full Jap Army

Captured Islands, He Reports

faster than the Americans could
destroy them. Also, he said, Japan's
loss of the Philippines will restrict
its training of pilots, many of whom
were Schooled there.
Asked about the prospect of an
American attack on Japan proper,
Admiral Nimitz outlined the diff
culties. Japan, he pointed out, is
adjacent to the continent OF Asia,
and so long as she can keep sea
lanes open to draw food, fuel, clothes
and raw materials from there, could
offer formidable resistance. 1t was
here, he pointed out, that only
10 per cent of the japanese Army
had been committed to island opera
tions. He was questioned about the
possibility of landing on the Chi
nese mainland as a prelude to an at
tack on Japan.
In planning the final assault on
the empire" he replied. I'VE need
more than one position. We need a
number of positions. It may well be
that some of these positions will be
IN Chlna."
Necessary to Take Two.
Discussing recent operations on
Two Jima, the admiral said:
ut appears to have been even
tougher than was anticipated. This
toughness was an indication of the
Importance which the Japs placed
on that position. This, in part, is
the answer to the question of why
1t was necessary to take Two Jima
ut is only $50 miles from the
japanese homeland. It had two
airflelds and third under construc-
ton. 1t served as base for attacks
on our positions in the Marianas
and was on the flank of our lines
of communication west of the Caro-
lines. Those were the reasons why
Japan placed such Importance on
that operation-and to deny them
these advantages would have been
sufficient to 60 to Two.
"On the other hand" he con-
tinued, Two is a valuable position
for us to have because it has air.
