When the head of the house asked for the stubs of the bills that he might figure the amount due back, the open- Ing gun of the civil warfare was fired. The stubs were not at hand In any Rreat .quantity, and the. husband blamed the wife and the wife blamed the husband. The husband’s comments became persunal and spread out to include the mental shortcomings of his mother- in-law, which were inherited by the wife. The wife brought up her heavy artillery and blazed away at the hus- band's forefathers, going back to the | time of the one who was hanged for | piracy. The battle waged long and | furiously. | Others who were more provident brought out their receipts and began | figuring the amount due. With the! total obtained, the husband announced that the sum would just about buy the snubbers he hac long desired for | kis car, but the volce of authority de- | clared that the pictures of the “pride | of the mother's heart” would just | about cost what the refund totaled, {and the pictures must be taken be- ! fore her first front teeth came out.| | Eventually, in some cases the voice of authority predominated and the de- | feated husband sulked the rest o | evening. The excitement is profound. All that are left of the “Christmas Opportunities” of the Assoclated Charitles have now become “New Year Opportunities” in good will. Every day the total amount of money required for the unsubscribed portion of the 14 oppgrtunities offered to the generous Washington public before Christmas is shrinking. They have now decreased from 14 to $ in number. The opportunities still remaining open, with the balances necessary to insure to them the same good for- tune that has befallen the other six subscribed ones, are as follows: Opportunity Amt.

Sl A oL Origin of Word “Picnic.” The word “picnic” first came into usage in the Finger Lake country of northern New York over a century ago, the residents of the town of Hector first using it. The town had a Sun- day school that declded to give an out- ing by “picking” up their “knicknacks" and going into the woods. From this the word developed. r All best varieties of anthracite and bituminous coals at ‘lowve'lt prices consistent with out high standard of quality and service, Marlow Coal Co. 1 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DECEMBER 28 PEPCO FUND DISTRIBUTION STIRS 75,000 TO SHARE $2,800,000 REFUND IN LIGHT RATE CUT (Continued from First Page.) have not had since the valuation was fixed.” Mr. Clayton expressed a hope that the company would use some of its share .of the impounded fund in im- provements to the power plant and to the Washington Railway and Elec- tric system, which s affillated with | the power company. Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, declared last night that he regarded the set- tlement as one that will prove just to the company and the public alike, and characterized the outcome as a vic- tory for the public. Commissioner Oyster said he wa gratified at the result, feeling that it would prove of benefit to the people and at the same time be equitable to the company. R. P. Andrews, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso- clation, declared “the District Com- missloners and the Potomac Electric Power Company are to be congratu- lated upon the consummation of an agreement.” See Business Alded. Both Mr. Andrews and Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the associa- tion, expressed the hope that some of the reduction would apply to the Wholesale rate schedules, pointing out that a cut in that direction would stimulate commercial activity and in- crease the consumption of electric current. Officials of the Utilities Commission are elated over the settlement, be- cause, in addition to lowering rates and having half of the impounded fund returned to consumers, it settles also the question of how the power company should treat depreciation. This question has been in dispute be- fore the commission for a long time. Sinking Fund Asreed. The company has agreed to estab- Iifh a einking fund for depreclation amounting at the start to $4,000,000. The amount to be set aside each year for depreciation is. an operating ex- pense and therefore chargeable to the rate payer. Under the sinking fund method, however,.the company will pay 4 per cent interest on the $4.000,000 in the fund, which will go toward reducing the amount the pub- lic will have to pay toward the ex- pense of depreciation. Another outstanding | feature of the agreement, which 1% an innova- tion In utility regulation here, is the provision that whenever in a given ar the company earns more than 7'z per cent return on its valuation one-half of the excess amount goes back to the people in the form of a reduction in rates.

Note that this amount must be considered in conncetion with the fact that depreciation reserve is to be put on a 4 per cemt sinking fund basis. This figure cofresponds to a fair value of $28,000,000 on the com- mission’s former method of arriving at fair value in so far as ratcs are concerned. 2. On the depreciation reserve as of December 31, 1924, approximately $4,000,000, interest will be accrued on a 4 per cent basis and as an accre- tion to the reserve, lessening the amount of depreciation to be included | as an expense of operation and there- by lowering the expense to the pub- |lic. This is what is meant when it | is stated that the above value corre- sponds to a $28,000,000 fair value. 3. Provision is made for a further reduction in operating expenses, and hence in charges to the public, as follows: When_ the depreciation reserve is below 15 per cent of the value of the property depreciation will be charged on the rate of 2.3 per cent of sald value. When it is 15 per cent, but less than 16 per cent of sald value, 2.1 per cent. ‘When it is 16 per cent, but less than 17 per cent of said value, 1.9 per cent. When it is 17 per cent, but less than 18 per cent of said value, 1.7 per cent. | . When it is 18 per cent, but less than 19 per cent of said value, 1.5 pe cent.
