Announcement of the intention of the association to conduct a wide- spread investigation with a view to preventing further shut-downs was made in the letter. The letter, in part, follows: .{ “The entire purpose of the Mer- {chants and Manufacturers’ Associa- {tion in its overtures to the Potomac Electric Power Company in the matter of electric light and power is extended solely in the most constructive, help- ful sense. both to the retailers, job- bers and manufacturers and to your company. “Laying aside the matter of lapse of service for the moment the board of governors. of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association begs to a sure your company, and all the other public utilities in the District of Co- Tumbia, that it realizes that your com- pany. ang they are part and parcel of us, and we should muturlly mingle our efforts to the end that the business interests and individuals in the D! trict of Columbia should receive the highest possible form of service from its utilities, and that the Public Utilities Commission and the Congress and every other agency should be en- couraged to supvort public utilities in such a manner as will enable them not only to meet the requirements of today, but to be prepared to expand to realize the bigger demands that ill be made on National Capital. “The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association desires to assure you that at no time nor will it ever be a party 1 them by a bigger to heckling or personal -abuse; nor will it endeavor to embarrass the efficient of today with whatever sins may have been commijtted in the past. | “The problem of doing the city’s H business is a mutual one. so the board bration of New Year after an ex-| countries within four months. hibition ©f verbal - fireworks over the $10,000,000 appropriation sought for the Muscle Shoals air nitrate project, which the House appropriations com- mittee rejected.

Because. of the number of accidents and narrow escapes in the vicinity of Willard Hotel the Commissioners re- cently roped off part of that area, re- ducing the number pf cars parked there and also reducing the danger. Drivers of cars for hire, it is stated, still indulge in the practice of darting from the line in the direction of the curb west of Willard Hotel, and Bu- chanan, it is charged, was arrested yesterday afternoon just after he had darted out, stopped and backed o where he had started. It was contended by the hack in- spectors that he should have driven on and made a stop parallel with the -urh, and his failure to do so, they contended in court, constituted a vio- Lation of the regulations. Judge Mc- Mahon sustained their contention and a finé of $5 was imposed. Stephen H. Johnson, driver of an au- tomobile for hire, was arraigned in Police Court this morning for an al- leged violation of the traffic regula- tion. It was charged he failed to dis- play his badge while on duty near Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street.
