The report was prepared by Robert J. Ryder. an accountant of the eco- nomic division of the Trade Commis- sion, who began to trace the tortuous path in finance followed by the cor- poration, under questioning by Robert E. Healy, chief examiner of the com- mission. The phase of the report dealing with | the local utility will not be reached for several days yet, it was said by com- mission officials. and then is to go no further than this financial transaction The report says the accounts of the Washington and Suburban Companies were not examired, but that i this organizaticn “was formed primorily for the purpose of acquiring the capital stock of the Washington G:s Light Co.” “While the Central Publi rvice Corporation or its affiiates have -not held direct control of the stock of the Washington Gas Light Co.” the report adds, “they were the means of furnish- | ing capital so that the Washington and Suburban Companies, & Massachuseits | trust, could, among other things, ac- | quire 84 per cent of the capital | of the Washington Gas Light Co. |~ The corporation, once headed by A. E | Peirce, was ordered some time ago by | the Public Utilities Commission to di- | | vest itself of its local stock. on the | grounds it was held in violation of the La Follette anti-merger act. Letters Introduced. As the hearing started, testimony on the sale of preferred stock of the Public Service Corporation. which involved a charge of “false pretenses and mis- representation,” was placed before the | Trade Commission by Mr. Healy. He presented a letter addressed by Miss Hermina Pittman of Marianna, | Fla., to Senator Fletcher, Democrat, of Florida, in which she said she had pur- chased stock in the corporation through W. N. Brandon, a Marianna business man, and had an understanding with him that the stocks were protected from loss. “The money was gotten from the people under false pretenses and mis- representation in every way,” she wrote | Fletcher. “I for one took $7,560 out of the | First National Bank here and put it in Central Public Service Corporation.” An earlier letter to Miss Pittman from Brandon, dated March 31, 1930, was introduced. The letter said he would be “pleased to guarantee this amount— | that is, that the Central Public Service ” would be “pleased to re- ithin a articles was made today by the District | tract by the new Assistant Secretary | the new heating plant is completed.
