The new rates are to apply on bills rendered for current con- sumed as determined from meter readings taken on or after January 1,1925. ONE-THIRD MORE CURRENT-- NO ADDED COST! This great reduction in the cost of electricity offers the con- sumer the opportunity to make a more general use of electric service than he has in the pasi—to modernize his lighting equip- ment and to provide adequate facilities for the use of labor- saving appliances. FOR THE FUTURE-- With a larger volume of business resulting from the reduced rates, we hope the Company will be able to go forward with its plans for providing additional equipment to properly meet the ever-increasing demands for electric service and, in addition, that earnings will be sufficient to permit of further reductions from time to time in rates of charge for electric service. POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER CO. WARNING AND APPEAL Property Owners and Business Men: You are facing the most vital crisis that ever confronted Washington PERMANENT RENT LEGISLATION Five unqualified persons to fix the value of your real estate. This same group can override a definite and legal contract between you and your tenant. You have absolutely no say as to who shall occupy your property or.what rent they shall pay. You must render such service and make such repairs as this arbitrary-bbdy may see fit to order. You will be put to extraordinary expense, lose much valuable time and suffer much inconvenience in meeting the require- ments that this autocratic body will impose. ! ’ 2 S This legislation means the destruction of property rights and sacredness of contracts Read the proposed bills presented to Congress. They authorize in_part the following: To the property owners this is a matter of immediate importance as it will result in the loss of your constitutional rights of private ownership of property. To the business men'it is important for the reason that it is an opening wedge to force on the Nation’s Capital regulation and control of all business. This is just the sort of legislation against which millions of voters registered their opposition in the November elections. Must the voteless taxpayers of the District of Columbia accept this radical assault on their fundamental rights as American citizens without protest? al Estate Board, composed of public-spirited and representative business men who have contributed largely to the splendid growth Capital City of the Nation, hereby renders a solemn protest against this legislation and earnestly solicits the support and co-operation business and professional men and women to join in a determined plea to the President and the Congress of the United States to refrain from enacting such legislation, which is so manifestly unfair and unjust. : WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE ROARD I T AN
