Defeat of a resolution to oppose the
proposed mercer ot the publlo utility
corporation of the District unleai su
'pervlecd and authorized by a publlo
utility commission,- and the passage ot
a resolution declaring It to be the sense
! of the federation that suffrage, at the
expense of the hlf-and-hlf prlnelple
of appropriations for the District waa
not denied, marked ,a long meeting of
' the Federation of Citizens' Associations
at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce last night.
By a rising vote of B to 4 a resolution
offered by President William McK. Clay
i ton declaring- opposition to the merger In
the absence of a utilities commission'!
authority, the federation decided to
refer the matter, to a committee for re
port at the next meeting, although the
author of the resolution and several
I other delegates strongly urged its adop
tion at once. The opposition to the
resolution was Ida by C. C. Lancaster,
of the Citizens' 'Northwest Suburban
. Association, who declared that the men
I back of the merger were the "most
eminent in Washington," and that their
I motives should not bo Impugned. lie
,defended past mergers of street rail
way lines a beneficial to the people of
the District.
D. A. Edwards, of the Lincoln Parle
Citizens' Association, characterized .the
merger aa a "cute schema to boost'the
, stocks of some of the corporations," and
doubted whether there was anything
1 more to it. H. W. Oyster, of Petvrorth,
predicted a flood ot watered, securities.
,Hj D. Clarkson. of" the Plney Branch
Citizens' Association, proposed that the
newspapers of the city be given a vote
of thanks for their vigilance In telling
the peoplo ot the city about the scheme,
and sold that the time bad passed
,when thccorporatlons "oould put things
.of this kind over without the people
I knowing of It In advance" W. N.
Cromwell, of the Pctworth Association,
'thought It "safer to lock the door be
fore the horso waa stolen."
The resolution declaring for tho half-
and-half principle was debated at some
length, and D. A. Edwards, of the Lin
coln Park Citizens' Association, charac
terized the publlo advocates of suffrage
at the exnense of the financial arrange
ment as "strong-lunged 'street-corner
orators wno mime we neea sunrrage
more than the six or seven million dol
lar we get from Congress every year,
and who want to see their names In the
paper" The resolution declared that
nuiirage at the expense ot the present
nnanciai arrangement Deiween uie uis
trlet and the United States was not desired.
A special committee was authorized to
consider the Henry George taxation report.

ing Experience With Appli
cation For Band..
official 'announcement of the director
Of the Maryland-Virginia Company as
to tho alms and purposes of that cor
poration, ,
That It has eassed beyond tho original
plans ot, financing the Washington
Railway and Blectrto Company Is
plainly evidenced by 'the announcement
that tho directors ot the 'Washington
Virginia Company have recommended
the sale ,of the company and its prop
erties to the Maryland-Virginia Com
P'nVt ,
When the announcement was first
made of the purpose's ot the company
officials of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company1, It was said to
be a plan for financing the Washington
Hallway and Electric Company, with
the addenda that every public sen Ice
corporation In the city was near the
end ot its financial resources far future
extensions, repairs, etc., and that the
new $30,000,000 corporations would be "a
vehicle, for their convenience If they
sought fit to maka,uso ot It," meaning
that It would be a publlo utilities cor
poration If the utility companies cared
to come In.
Stock has been freely bpught and
turned over to the Maryland-Virginia
Company;, much stock ha been Inter
changed on a basis, not made public,
probably on a basis of 80 tor the com
mon stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric and 30 for the Maryland
Virginia. It Is not expected by the financier!
back ot this Maryland-Virginia, or
other corporation, movement that the
matter will requlro the approval of
Congress.
They do not Intend to destroy the ex
isting companies, to seek enlarged cap
italization, certainly not In either the
gas company, or the traction company,
as this would necessitate acts of Con-
ress. But they propose to make the
lg corporation a holding company,
and In the case of tho Washington
Railway Company, and the Washington
and Virginia Company' It would be a
holding company of holding companies.
It Is generally understood In financial
circles that the, plana of the financiers
Interested have gone further than In
dicated by developments made public
up to date. It Is' stated that the fiscal
plans have been entirely agreed upon
and that New York money will finance
he Disposition and Just aa far as the
public. utility companies of Washlng-
in require..
The names ot William Solomon & Co.,
and Kuehn, Loeb, & Co., are freely
mentioned aa underwriters and also
Jacob Schlff.
When the time comes to carry out the
plans on a broad basts bonds of the
Maryland-Virginia Company will prob
ably be offered for sale. Rack of the
bonds will be the shares or the utility
corporations that have been purchased
by the Maryland-Virginia Company,
and a bonus of stock In the latter cor
poration will probably be offered with
each block of bonds.
In the meantime the local security
market la dragging. No one cares to
venture far, neither dare they sell
freely, although quite a bit of preferred
tnrv nt tho Washington Railway and
Electric Company haa come out during
the week and prices have been lower
hv Mvurfll nntnta.
It necessary the MarylanB-VIrglnla
Corporation could acquire tne control
or the entire capital stock of the Capi
tal Traction Comnany. at the price at
urhlph officials of that corDoratlon have
Indicated their willingness to sell, J150
a share, 818,000,000 for what Is now worth
on the market about su,tno,wn. -inia
would not be such an exorbitant price,
all things considered. ,
Washington Oas shares have attracted
some little attention, without develop
ing any activity.
The steck Is held very strongly and
bears as hard as almost anything on
tho list.
With disbursements of nearly 1330,000

bond market so tar as activity was
concerned but not In price. There are,

These bonds have been verr strong
and It may be In the plan to retire the
issue, as tney are retiramet at 110 at
any time, and are now better- than

Tho American Bankers' Assoolatldn
refused to give Its Indorsement to the
Plan for currency rerorm advocated by
the currencuy reform commission, ad
mitting that J'the name of Aldrlch acts

most prosperous-nation Is today strained
In an effort' to flnanoa busincss-,on Its
broadest scale, and at; the same-tlmo
move the bounty of the 'harvests to the
center of consumption.
Because the Aldrlch currency measure
haa been shelved Is no reason why the
entire subject need play second fiddle
to other national legislation.

"Credit, not gold, is the life blood ot
modern trade,'r aald David B. Forgan.
tho Chicago banker,, at a recent address
In Chicago, Continuing, he added:
"Every Investment from Government
bonds to gold -mining stocks la a form
of credit All bank deposits and all
bank loans are credit. Our much-dis
cussed currency systems are credit.
"What we. loosely call money, and
even a large proportion of our so-called
reserves, are credit All the.. account
and bills receivable In the world are
credit. In credit modem business lives,
move and haa Its being. Credit starts
enternrlse. moves wheels. Si.im. r. ii.
roods, wages wars, makes civilization.
"just as tne blood pumped from the
heart circulate In every minutest ex.
tremlty of the body, carrying vital en
ergy to every' organ, every muscle and
eve-y njrve, so credit, the heart ot
v.nic.1 is mo oanung system, permeates
every department and phase and detail
of modern business. If kept pure, clean
and abundant, the result Is financial
health and strength, actual business,
ummiuiu opportunity, good times In a
moru, general prosperity, ir allowed to
becomo vitiated, sluggish and curtailed
In volume, the result nn.iirhtiv .-,,-
tlons, sluggish business, backward con-
uiuuna, mm nnaiiy national death. '
The report of the treasurer of the
American Bankers' Association, J.
Fletcher Farrell of Chlcaso, la an ex.
tremtly Interesting one. The receipts
and expenditures wcr msttra nr mn.
tine but when the list of Investment
by the association were read conserva
tive bankers expressed their keen satis
faction. It Is a list that one might recommend
to the nldow and the orohan, ultra
safe and sane but not especially profit
able from tne standpoint ot returns.
It demonstrates the determination of
the executive council not to be called
upon the carpet to account for Invest
ments that have gone wrong.
The securities are as follows:
811.000 C. B. A. Q. Joint 4's ot 1S21.
130,000 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
4 per cent bonds of 1M3.
$50,000 Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy,
Illnols Division. 4 per cent bonds of IMS.
830,000 New York City Registered Cor
poration Stock, 3ft per cent, due XUO.
Look at the list again.
It Illustrates In the Items the fact that
safety and not interest should be de
sired In the end.

TREASURY TO HAVE
BETTER VENTILATION
New System to BeInEtal!cd Which
Will Furnish Pure Air to
Clerks.
FINANCIAL
A ntw system of ventilation Is to U
Installed In the Treasury building.
Plans are being drawn for supplying
fresh air to aa many of the office rooms
aa possible, through a duct system
which will Hump In fresh and pure air
from tho outside and distribute It to
rooms and corridors having a minimum
of ventilation at present.
This new system will supersede a ven
tilator installed a tew years ago, which,
from a hyglenlo standpoint, has not
been a success. The old system took
the air from the west basement court.
Thla court la tho dumping place tor all
coal consumed In the building, and Is
the outlet for boiler rooms as well as
the sidewalk coal atorage cellars. Con
sequently a good deal of coal dust and
other Impurities were brought in with
the supposedly fresh air.
With the new system contemplated,
the air Intake will be high above the
roof In the center court, and a cloth
filter will removo all dust and foreign
particles that might otherwise got In.
Force pumps will distribute thla fresh
air throughout the building.
The proposed system has the approval
of Chief Clerk Wllmeth. Sanitary Offi
cer Jcsalson, and the ofllclal Inspector
of hygiene of the Government Depart
ments. Dr. Warren, of tho Public
Health Service. , ....
This Is one of many Improvpinenia
planned or already executed under the
crusade for better sanitation and hy
giene In the Treasury.
