To End Abe Board

Representative Sutton, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, today intro
duced bill to remove the present
limit on the number of retail
liquor stores here and abolish the
present three-member ABC board
The measure would transfer all
powers and authority of the ABC
board to a single person to be
known as a commissioner.
The bill would amend the Dis
trice Beverage Control Act to take
away from the District Commits
sioners the present power they
have for limiting the number OF
retail liquor licenses.
At the present time the number
of liquor stores is frozen at 300
The number of stores in opera
ton is still 387 as they are being
reduced from the figure of 400
which was in effect in 1886. The
decrease is being accomplished
gradually.
The Sutton bill would take the
limit off Glass A retail (by the
bottle) licenses but would still
leave in the hands of the pro-
posed new commissioner the re-
strictions presently handled by
the ABC board on such licenses
as coming.
The new commissioner would
receive a salary of $12,500 a year
The bill went to the House
District Committee for a public
hearing at a date to be set.

Surveyor Proposes
Changes in Streets
And Highway Plan

The Commissioners today heard
proposals made by the District
surveyor for closing certain streets
and alleys and changes in the
plan of the permanent system of
highways.
The proposed changes will be
passed on to the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
for approval.
No objection is expected from
the parks because many of the
proposed changes originated with
lit.
The principal changes in the
highway plan affect property in
the Northwest section, bounded
on the north by Cathedral ave-
nue., on the east by Twenty-ninth
street. on the southwest by
Cleveland avenue, and on the
west by Thirty-f1rst street.,
Eliminates Road in Plan.
This change would provide for
the elimination of Woodley road
as proposed in the highway plan,
The Woodley plan has been de-
clared useless and unnecessary by
the dedication of Garfield street
between Twenty ninth and Thirty
first streets.
The District does not plan to
cut through GARFIELD street until
more houses are built Oh the
Woodley tract. The new street
would be the Southern boundary
for the proposed Maret School.
1t was planned to cut through
the street in 1910, but Secretary
OF War Stimson, who owned the
property at that time, objected.
Object to Changes.
The only objection to the pro-
posed changes was to the closing
OF part of Eighth street Sc
north OF Xenia street and part
OF the public alley in square 6123,
Attorney Frank E. Scrivenef. re-
presenting Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
G. Lindner, opposed the closing
OF the street.
Other proposed changes con-
sldered included closing of Claw
street and Cloud place NE. east
OF Fity-third street; the closing
OF part of Bruce street Sc. south
OF Robinson street; closing of
T1lden street at Forty-fifth street
northwesterly from Massachusetts
avenue and providing for dedica-
ton of land for the extension of
Forty fifth street south to Massa-
chusetts, and a proposed change
IN the plan Of the permanent sys-
tenn of highways affecting prop
erty in the Southeast section
bounded on the northwest by VAL
ley avenue on the northeast by
Wheeler road. and on the south
by Xenia street, providing fol
elimination of certain proposed
street areas within these limits.

Investor Counsel
Backs Gas Firm
On 7% Return =
LoborO Official Opposes
Increase in Profits as
PUG Resumes Hearing

A financial consultant today
added his voice to the Washing
ton Gas Light Co.'s contention il
should receive per cent rate OF
return on it's investment
Ralph e. Badger, president OF
Investment Counsel, Inc, Detroit
an associate of Standard Research
Consultants Inc, New York City
gave an exhaustive analysis of gas
utility financing.
He testified as the Public utili-
ties Commission resumed it's hear
ing on the Washington compary's
request to increase it's revenues by
$2.3 million a year through rate
increases to its District customers
A previous company estimate
has indicated that $14.6 million in
operating expenses expected dur
ing 1852, compared with an antici-
pated $15.9 million in operating
revenues. would give the utility an
earned return of SO per cent.
Wholesale Cost Higher,
Higher wholesale cost of natural
gas is cited as a main reason for
the rate. boost application.
j. G. Turner. vice president of
the Washington Central Labor
Unioni expressed vigorous op-
position" to an increase in the
company's presently allowed 6 per
cent rate of return to per cent.
I'VE believe that the present
6 per cent rate Of return is more
than fair" he said.
He asked the PUG to pay par
ticular attention to amount of
increase to be allowed on heating
bills,E adding that those who use
gas heat "can be hurt a very
great deal by an inequitable in
crease in the gas rate"
Need Additional Capital.
Possibly after a close investiga-
ton the PUG might decide no
increase should be allowed for
home heating. he predicted.
Noting that the company would
require Sc million additional cap
ttal during 1852, Mr.. Badger said
the next type of financing should
involve sale of common stock.
He said he believed $4.5 million
of the amount should be obtained
through sale of common stock by
means of rights to stockholders.
Assuming the sale of 100000
additional shares of common stock
at approximately $50 a share, the
percentage. of common STOCK
would increase from 28.41 to 1890
per cent.
Common Stock Percentage Up.
HI. also made a computation on
the basis of converting 10000
shares Of $3.50 preferred stock to
common. This would increase the
common stock percentage from
1920 to 4127.
He said the financial condition
of the company would be i'm
proved. its credit improved and
the company would be in a posi-
ton to raise additional capital as
necessary.
The Z per cent rate of re-
turn he recommended is below
the average earned by similar
companies on their average in
vestment, he declared.
The business of retail distribu-
ton of natural gas involves vari-
GUS hazards for which the inves-
tor should be compensated, he
testified. The fair rate of return
for a company retailing natural
gas should be greater than for an
electric utility operating in the
same area, he added.
