very auspicious start, being defeated in

the 10th New York National Guard, the
score being 21 to 0. The District boys
organized their team last Thursday and
had only three days' practice under the
coaching of Lieut. Jordan of Company

MAY RECOMMEND
A REMARKET
Commissioners Are Inclined to
Let Wholesale Plan Wait
on Congress.
FARMER TO CONSUMERS
I Establishment of a municipal whole
j sale market in the District, in accord
! ance with the recommendation in the
'annual report of George M. Roberts,
! superintendent of weights, measures
j and markets, will not be recommended
by the Commissioners in the next bud
get, but may be urged in a separate bill
I to be sent to Congress at Its next ses
| sion.
Mr. Roberts' proposal for "a. municipal
market devoted exclusively to retail by
I farmers direct to consumers is one that
! the Commissioners may incorporate in
' the budget, as this plan can bo execut
ed with expedition and without great
cost, probably not more than $15,000 or
$20,000.
Wholesale Scheme to Wait.
The municipal wholesale market scheme
is such a big one that the Commissioners
feel it would be unwise to make any rec
ommendations along this line, pending
the inquiry to be conducted by the Senate
District committee as to the advisability
of the Distritc taking over Center market
and operating it as a municipal institu
tion. This investigation .ordere dthrough
a resolution introduced by Senator King,
is expected to develop fully the local mar
ket situation and will pave the way for
any move the Commissioners may make
later to have established a municipal
wholesale market, convenient to water and
rail transportation.
To carry out Mr. Roberts' suggestion for
amunicipal retail market, where farmers
may sell direct to consumers, it would be '
nece ? ?ai y only, the weights and measures :
official said today, to build a shed in the
market district at a nominal cost.
There is already a market of this
type back of Center market, but, in the
opinion o? Mr. Roberts, its accommo
dations are too limited, and many farm
ers would be encouraged to bring their
produce to the city if they knew a spe
cial retail market was at their disposal.
Present License Tax Opposed.
Mr. Roberts is opposed to the present
practice of laying a license tax on deal
ers who occupy space in the markets,
and on farmers who peddle produce :
which they ha\?? raised. In this report i
lie Hires the repeal of this law. Such
a tax. h<- declares, tends to advance the
There is no use in putting
on an expensive roof when you can get a
better roof and save real money by using
Certain-teed
Roofing
CERTAIN-TEED is the best roof, not only be
cause it costs less to manufacture, but also
because it is weathertight, light weight, ciean,
sanitary, fire-retardant, and costs practically
nothing to maintain.
It is now used as the preferrble type of roof for office
buildings, factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, garages,
farm buildings etc., where durability is demanded.
CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years,
according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply).
There are many roll roofings on the market, but only one C JRTAIN
TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more :o lay a
CERTAIN-TEED roof than it does to lay a poor roof, but there is
a vast difference in the wear. You can't tell the quality of a roofing
by looks or feel. Your only safety is the label. Be sure that it is
CERTAIN-TEED?then you are certain of quality and guaranteed
satisfaction.

DATE SET FOR HEARING
OF P. LP. COMPANY CASE
Appeal From Utilities Board find
ings of Property Values Is Be
fore Justice Gould.
Justice Gould of the District Supreme
Court today set November 15 for the
hearing of the appeal of the Potomac
Electric Power Company from the val
uation placed on its properties by the
public utilities commission. The hear
ing is expected to occupy about ten days
of the court's time. The transcript of
the proceedings before the commission
| is to be filed with the clerk of the court
by October 21.
At a conference between Corporation
Counsel Syme and Attorneys J. J. Dar
lington, John S. Barbour and S. S. Bowen,
! representing the company, it was agreed
j to proceed with the valuation case and
| leave the appeal in the rate case to
I abide the court's action on the valua
j tion.
It was pointed out that as the new
: rate of S cents per kilowatt hour for
electric current required by the commis
sion is based on the accuracy of the
commission's valuation of the company's
holdings, it would stand or fall with the
result of the valuation case.
Old Rate Still in Force.
The company is still collecting at the
old rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour,
but has given a bond to the court, as re
quired by Justice Gould, to reimburse
the consumers for the difference in
prices should the commission's valua
tion of the company's holdings be sus
tained by the court.
