Million in Overvalue Items Miscredited by Utilities Bureau Chief
Andrew Sangster, chief of the accounting bureau of the public utilities commission, testified at the valuation hearing that Potomac Electric Power Company held almost four million dollars in overvalued items in its property accounts. He said $380,000 of property had been carried at cost despite sale losses, and that $200,000 for franchises and other overstatements inflated plant and equipment. If corrected, the company’s property valuation could drop from about $11 million to $7.8 million. The hearing adjourned with further testimony planned on rest estate holdings and district assessment staff.
