Gas Company Official Doctors State
ment for Public Inspection

NEW YORK, April Officers Of
the Consolidated Gas company, the
controlling organizations of the local
gas and electric lighting concerns, APP
peared again today as witnesses be-
fore the Legislative committee. There
were interesting developments, includ-
ing the admission by Benjamin A.
Whiteley, assistant secretary of the
Consolidated company. that in order to
show q balance in a statement sub
mitted by him to the committee he had
obliterated a discrepancy OF s3,500.000
by charging that amount to "construc-
tion," when. as a matter OF fact such a
sum had not been spent.
Robert A. Carter, secretary of the
Consolidated Gas company, explained
the apparent discrepancy of more than
$12.000,000 in a statement of the COM
pany's investments submitted to the
committee by declaring the larger
amount represented the actual amount
invested and the smaller the present
values of the property.
