Meanwhile the Interstate Commerce Commission_will conduct an inquiry into the subject preparatory to the holding of the hearing. Issue Raised by W. R. & E. The question of which body 'has Jurisdiction over the matter of de- preciation was raised by the Wash-{g ington Railway and Electric several (S weeks ago, when the local commis- sion announced that it intended to fix rules to govern that phase of the company’s finances. A public hearing was held at the District building to enable the com- pany to criticize or suggest changes in the tentative rules as drafted. S. R.

No Rauling by Utilities Board. \ The local commission has not ruled on the motion, but has conferred h the members of the Interstate Comerce Commission.
