A—10 LOW POWER DRAWS PROTESTINFAIRFAX Merrifield Improvement Group Will Appeal to State Commission. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. | MERRIFIELD, Va. July 24.—The Merrifield Improvement Association hes decided to appeal direct to the State Corporation Commission in Richmond for relief from what members con- sider inadequate electric service fur- | nished in this section. It was said that | the only remedy for the low volage which prevails here is construction of an additional substation. H The Merrifield Association has agi- tated this question for montbs with offi- | cers of the Virginia Public Service Co., who have promised relief, but have so | far taken no action, beyond placing meters in several of the homes to check | voltage. These records, saccording to the manager of the Herndon divicion, ! A. E. Rosenberger, show that voltage lfl'om Fort Sam Houston, Tex., to Bos- ! in this section is too low. Iton: Plans Are Announced. | his home to await retirement; Capt. Rosenberger has stated that the com- | H. C. Brenizer, Field Artillery, pany plans to extend its lines from the | present dead ends above and with the Merrifield to connect now extending from Oakton toward Edgelca. The Merrified Association held thot this correction will not be sufficient to relieve the overloaded lines, pointinz out that the present neerest substation is above Fzirfax on the Lit- | tle River pike, that the line then traverses Oakton and Vienna to Tysons Corner, down the Leesburg plke through Dunn Loring to Merrifield, one of the most thickly settled sections of the county. In the last two weeks, additional customers have been added to the line in this neighborhood, which has so lowered the available voltage that housekeepers reported last night that they are unable to use their electric stoves, that electric water pumps cannot be run until almost midnight, that bills have jumped due to the necessity of running equipment twice as long as normal for the same results. Petition to Be Drafted. It was decided to ask Common- wealth's Attorney Wilson M. Farr to draw up the petition to the Corpora- tion Commis-ion. Mrs. B. F. Salsbury, Mrs. Willard Tubaugh and Mrs. E. D. Vosbury were appointed to secure signatures for this petition in the neigh- borhood.
