(2"'1 e sl EFFICENCY S AN OFPUBLGUTIITES Suggestion of Commission A\ Stirs Officials fo Strive for Economy. There was every indication today that Washington's public servioe corporations are taking seriously the suggestion of the Public Utilities Commission that they must have ef- cient management if the commission is to grant them sufficient rates. A director in one of the companies approves so thoreughly of this policy that he has suggested to the presi- dent of the company that an effi- survey be made to determine if e any economies which could installod that would reduce the cost of operation. It is indicated there will be an awakened activity on the part of hoards of directors which will be re- flected in a closer supervision over operating details. Instead of accep ing the reports of the directing offi- cials at their face value, the boards, it is expecied. will show more of a disposition in the future to probe into details and satisfy themselves from first-hand information that the man- agement Is all that could be expected of it. Will Probe Supply Costs. TInvestigations to determine whether buying supplies, such al. oil and steel. at fair price whether th mployes of any cempany have any interest in con- tracts, are in prospect. Commissio :r_asked some pointed ques- s along this line in the stree car hearings. And it is hinted the matter will not rest here. The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association has proposed to the com- mission that when it is convinced the management of any public utility is not what is should be the commission should recommend that a change be made in the directing personnel of the company. In the electric light and power rate case, now pending before the commission, this associa- tion recommended that a sufficient rate be granted so that full responsi bility for furnishing satisfactory service would be placed upon the company. Efficiency to Keep Rates. The commission has no authority to compel resignations from the roster of any corporation, but it may point out shortcomings in management in such a way that the boards of di- rectors and the stockholders will realize that they must clean house if they expect to obtain sufficient rates for efficient service. No intimation has been given that the commission considers any local utility in need of & change in management. but it has become fairly apparent that the com mission will not hesitate to talk if it discovers proof of inefficlent manage- ment.

This is a decrease of 6 cents from the 1920-21 rate. Of this amount, 60.8 cents is for schools and 30 cents for roads. Last year the rate for schools was 66.6 cents. A total of $185,453 is levied for schools, which is a substantial reduction from the estimates submitted by the county board of education. The commissioners disallowed all increases for school teachers, this, it is believed, being in deference fo what appeared to be a pronounced sentiment against these increases from the agricultural districts in the lower section of the county. Provis- fon was made for five additional teachers. Two thousand dollars was levied to continue the services of the Red Cross county schpol nurs: The commissioners anctioned a bond issue of $35,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of an eight-room school building in Hyattsville. A levy of $2,400 was made for plumbing in the East Hyattsville, Riverdale and Bladensburg schools A new school, to cost $15,000, will be built at Suit- land and a similar building will be erected at Forestville, $5.000 being al- ready - available for this building. These will be constructed from money rajsed by bond ibsue.

Keating, former member of Congress and secretary of the re- classification commission, who called up Chairman Lamkin to ask him as to the status of the case. “1 am sure the board is trying to do the decent thing,” continued Mr. Keat- ing, who has long been known for his work for organized labor and in the interest of pensions for soldiers. __"The leader of the dissatisfied ones is accusing organized labor of attempt- ing to work against the soldiers,” said i\h'.l_liezlmg. “This makes my blood boil.” Mass Meeting Protests. A mass meeting was held last night at 141 Pennsylvania avenue by the Yarious posts of the National Disabled Soldiers’ League in this city to protest against the reportcd wage cut of the }"edel’ll Board for Vocational Train- ng. _Plans were discussed by John T. Nolan, chairman of the national legis- lative' committes of the league, for a strike of the vocational students to be alled April 20, unless the board re- scinds its proposed action. Mr. Nolan declared that the strike would be of a peaceable nature, merely to eall the attentlion of the public to tne situation. He stated that the strike wpuld be attended by picketing of the White House. In the meantime, Mr. Nolan stated, the matter would be taken to the courts, where the authority of the board to reduce the veterans' pay would be questioned. —_—— HYATTSVILLE.

The state roads commission has re- ceived bids for the construction of four miles of concrete road in the county. The aggregate of the lowest bid was $141,263, which, of course, exceeded by.over $68,000 the amount of money available.
