The Public Utilities Commissipn was again assalled in the Sehate yesterday afternoon by Senator McKellar of Ten- nessee be¢ause it has not reduced street car fares in Washington. Senator McKellat urged the Sen- ate District™ committee to " bring in legislation before March ¥ looking to | | ) ed for in the old franchises of the street rallway company. 2 Jf no such legislation is adopled by this Congress, Senator McKellar said, he intended to advacate it when the new Congress meets. He pointed out that exclusive of the lame-duck senators the majority of the Senate had been in favor of his amendment to the District appropriation bill, providing that the Public_ Utilities Commission should have no funds un- til it compelled the street car com- panies to go back to the fares al- lowed in their old contracts with the District of Columbia. Cites the Record. Senator McKellar read from the Rec ord of 1912, ‘when the law creating th Public Utlifties Commission was en acted as an amendment to the Distric appropriation act. He contended that the bill had been put through only after the heuds of the public utilities in Washington had obtained from the | Senate District committee what they wanted. He said that when Congress put through this public utilities act it had thought that the law would help the citizens of the Distriet. it has had the very opposite effect,” said Senator McKellar. He charged that the Public Utilities Commission, in fix- ing rates to give a reasonable return, had usurped power not given by the law, and had claimed the power which has been read into the law merely by implication. Teo Compltcat-d. Senator McKellar said that when | the Public Utilities Commission bill was submitted to the late Secretary Lane for an opinion he had sald that it was too long and too complicated | and that_no one could tell what it meant. The Tennessee senator said further that when the bill was hand- | ed to Senator Cummins of lowa the | senator hud said that instead of bringing about lower rates for pub- | lic service it gave too much power | to the commission and might result | in raising Qi rates. “The senator from Towa w s exact- Orchestral Concert.
