George's suggestion that President Wil- son direct the American high commis- sioner ,at Constantinople on the question of mediation in Armenia is regarded by American officials as impracticable since such a course would give to the presi- dent's action an officlal character he de- sires to avoid. Lloyd George's suggestion, which was addressed to Paul Hymans, president of the council of the league of nations, has |been tramsmitted to the president, but it as been tegarded here as little more than an interesting sidelight on the prob- lem since it was made prior to the.an- nouncement that the president had named Henry Morgenthau as his representative and asked the council for instructions as to procedure. This request remains un- I:\nswerai Hartford, Conn, Jan. 5.—The public utilities cormission today sent to the general assembly a report of its-inquiry into street railway. conditions, under.an act of the 1919 session, in Which it makes many_suggestions- for legislacicn to reliéve troliey companies. In a gencral statement it says that so many investigations have been nade that there is little new to-add. A number of reports, financial and o.herwise, are ap- pended. An outstanding recdmmendation is that the attorney-generzl be author- ized to ask the federal cour: fo vacate a judgment against the New Veork, New Haven and Hartford railroad by which the Connecticut Company was taken' frein -the railroad ‘by Which (the, -Conn-cticut the . railroad company and placed. in the-hands of fed- eral trustees..

The commission says this expense is created for such supervision “as is usually per- formed by u board of direciors without e Suggestions for corporation and man- agerial reforms include: Division of the system into well defined operation parts under competent managers; greater at- tendance to maintenance of - schedules supply auxiliary motor vehicles in char- tered territory; increase the number of one-man cars in urban service; greater} publicity._in -operating and financial con. ditions ; obtain co-operation and mot an- tagonism of the public; stricter obsery- ance of courtesy; prompt correction of defects and annoyances. Recommendations for legislative con- sideration include: Relieve companies of statutory obligation on paving, bridge maintenance, etc., to a considerable ex- tent; relief from highway bridge con- struction and maintenance; extensjon cf time in which to pay taxes due the state; authorizing municipalities to subsidize lo- cal lines. 3 It is recommended that jitneys be de- clared common carriérs, and regulated as such; and to give municipalitied jur- isdiction over jitney routes and sched- ules,. \ Rendition of street railway service, the report, says, should be primarily for the Denefit of the public rather than for tke Dbenefit of the stockholders or to satisfy the demands of employes when detrimen- tal to economical and efficient operation. HEARING ON PROPOSAL TO TAX ALL BANK ACCOUNTS ‘Washington, Jan. 5.—The Treadway bill proposing a tax on all bank deposits was | taken up today by the house ways and | means committee, which heard Mr. Tread- way, Hefiry B. Sawyer of Boston, who suggested the plan, and former Repre- sentative James F. Burke of Pittsburgh. Mr. Treadway told the committee he had prepared the measure solely as a basis upon which the committee could build, as hte idea was a new one and he thought worthy of consideration. Mr. Burke, who said he spoke for the Pittsburgh clearing house and the cham- ber of commerce, vigorously opposed the bill, declaring it was a correct {llustration of the “haphazard manner in which legis- lation is thrown upon congress and final- 1y upon the American people. The witness said the measure would serve as a penalty on savings, and that DEPOSITORS VOTE CONFIDENCE IN CLOSED SHELTON B K Shelton, Conn., Jan. 5.—Depositors of tho Shelton Bank and Trust company at a meeting tonight voted confidence in the bank and its officers. The bank was closed last Monday by State Bank Commissioner Sturges because of “depreciation in the value of securities” held by the bank. About 130 depositors of the institution at- tended the meeting and others present in- cluded W. W. Radcliffe, president of the bank, and M. A. Durschmidt, a director. Mr. Radcliffe told the depositors that the savings department was certain to pay 100 per cent., but there were “some difficulties in the ~commercial _depart- ment” Rev. Father Andrew Plunkett asked the president if there had been any criminal acts in_connection with the bank’s trouble. Mr. Radcliffe said thes had been some ‘“improper irfvestments, but declined to say anything further. Mr. Durschmidt said plans were under way to obtain between $300,000 and $500,000, after which it was expected the bank would reopen. The depositors named. a committee of six, Wwith Rev. Father Plunkett as chairman, to confgr. with the bank officers and the state bank commis- sioner in regard to plans for reopening. this alone would cause its defeat. DATA OF OFFICIAL COAL COST TO BE MADE PUBLIC Washington, Jan. 5.—Complete publicity of official coal cost data to be collected through the federal trade commission as @ means of keeping down charges to the consumers will be proposed by the senate reconstruction committee as the result of its investigations into the coal situation, it was said today by Chairman Calder. ‘While a compiéte agreement as to the form of the measure has not been reach- ed, the committee has gone over the gen- eral subject with Federal Trade Commis- sioner Houston, #nd it is expected that the bill will be ready for Introduction the senate early mext week. It has been decided to make the collection of the sta- tisties mandatory upon -the commission, which would be empowered to demand the acounts from the coal operators, test their accuracy, and comile the results by districts for the study of consumers.
