The act requires that the commis- elon shall at least biepnially elect a chairman and that no Commissioner other than the Engineer Commissioner shall during his term of office hold any other public office. No person not in any sense mean that the Public Utilities Commission will cease to function until new u.ypruprmurms for its support are made. The bill signed by the Spealker to- day specifically provides that until the two new Commissioners are appointed and take office under the provisions of this act, the present Commissioners who are the District Commissioners, will continue to exercise pewers as a Public Utilities Commission. The current appropriation law car- ries appropriations of $50,120 for the Public Utilities Commission, so that with a six months' period of the pres- ent year remaining, there are funds for the support of subordinate force of the commission, even though funds are lacking for the salaries of the two new civilian commissioners, and the people’s counsel. The creation of the new Public Utilities Commission complicates the District government housing problem, because the act requires that they I shall_be provided with quarters in the District Building, which is now overcrowded, and where adequate quarters apparently cannot be found for the new commission. The act, as approved by both House !and Senate, provides that the Public ! Utilities Commission shall be com- posed of three commissioners, as fol- (lows: First, the Engincer Commis- {sioner of the District of Columbia, second, two persons appointed he President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Each of the appointed commissioners shall receive a salary at the rate of 187,500 per annum.
