Is Granted
Dollar Gas

Effective December %. the Georgetown
Gaslight Company has reduced its gas
rate to 81 per loco feet IN speaking
Of the matter this morning, w. Riley
Deeblc, president OF the company, said:
we wish it understood in order TO
avoid misunderstanding Is that the re-
duced rate begins December y and ap-
plies 10 all gas used after that date.
Therefore the January bills will be at
the usual rate as they embrace gas used
from November p to December -. Our
patrons will pay their first bills at the
reduced rate February l.
For year. the people of Georgetown
have paid an average OF . per cent more
than the consumers in Washington city.
Owing 10 the cost OF production and the
smaller quantity used, Congress has
recognized this principle and allowed
the increased charge.
1t is understood that the reduction was
made after a conference between hepre-
sentative Joseph W. Babcock, chairman
of the District committee, and President
Decide and the directors OF the George
town company.
This action develops an interesting
phase Of the present gas agitation now
on in Washington. inasmuch as it has
always been conceded that Une -lcst of
production in Georgetown was consider
ably higher than Washington. notwith-
standing which tile Georgetown COM
pany expects TO make money after COM
ing TO the Washington rate.
