Opposed by G. O. P. President Hoover and the regular Republican group is staunchly opposed e of legislation. A subcommittee appointed by the Democratic Steering Committee to wulate & program met yesterdey and ssed possible substitutes for the relief bill, but reached no definite conclusion. One of the prcposals discussed by this subcommittee, composed of Sena- tors Walsh of Montana, Wagner of New York and Black of Alabama, was the substitution of a bill to appropriate the money for road appropriations instead of direct relief, Another plan receiving some atten- tion was a proposal to lend the money outright gift from the Federal Treasury. Sponsors of the bill were opposed to both substitutes, feeling that a public works program would not provide the relief they contend is urgently needed and asserting that some State laws make the loan proposal impractical Administration leaders maintained their cpposition to the measure, but were planning to place no obstacles in the way of & vote to take it up. In fact they were prepared to clear the way for such a vote. May Seek Bill's Return. There was strong intimation from Democratic leaders that a motion would be made to have the bill sent back to committee _on the grounds that the need for Federal relief has not been sufficlently demonstrated. Senators La Follette and Costigan (Democrat, Colorado), authors of the measure, were prepared to lead the fight for its adoption. Meanwhile, Senator Glass (Democrat, Virginia), was conferring with financial experts with a view to having his bill to relieve depositors of closed banks and to revise national banking laws ready for the Senate before the end of next week. Republican leaders have agreed to give this measure the right of way in the Senate when it is ready for consid- eration ator Borah (Republican, Idaho), said yesterday the question of direct re- lief turns on the necessity for it. He favored Federal appropriations if local communities were unable to take ocare of their own needs.

The commission found the present fair value of the plant as of December 31, 1930, to be $1,150,000. The com- pany had asked for a valuation of $1,900,000. It went on to say that the net return upon this valuation under present raes, allowing for a proper and reasonable deduction for operating ex- penses, is approximately 5.3 per cent; that 5.3 per cent is not a fair and rea- sonable return; that, therefore, some in- crease in rates is necessary; that & horizontal increase of 10 per cent would | produce & return of approximately 6.4 cent on the present fair valuation as found, and that approximately 6.4 per cent is the fair return in view of all the facts and circumstances of the case The company was ordered by the commission to proceed forthwith to clean its cast iron distribution system to an extent sufficlent to enable it to render adequate and reasonable service to the public; that such cleaning be pressed to as speedy completion as is practical and possible: that, in all events, the cleaning be completed by January 1, 1933 NAVY ORDERS Orders issued to officers under date of January 21 | Comdr.
