Penalty on Gas Bills
Is Oppression Of Poor
Writer Says Room for Fraud Exists in lnspeC-
ton of Meters-Uses Less Gas,
Bill Goes Higher.

Several grounds for complaint against
the gas monopoly which have hereto
Gore been mentioned in a casual way
are brought out strongly in a letter
received by The Times from "V. l..
o." This writer has furnished The
Times with his name and address and
states that he IS prepared to exhibit
papers ana figures to substantiate what
he says.
The letter follows:
To the Editor OF The washington Times:
l have read many Of the complaints
in The Times against the Washington
Gaslight Company, some Of the quality
of the gas. some OF the insufficient pres
sure. many OF the large bills. the in
science Of the cOmpany's officials, and
the requirement Of a cash deposit before
the supply is turned on.
In regard to these complaints, the
quality and low pressure are self-evi-
dent, the large bills seem 10 be as un-
avoidaSle as they are unjust at the
present price, and the insolence is to
be expected when the common people
ask for a square deal. but l believe the
cash deposit to be no more than a ne
cessary precautOn on the part OF the
company against the large number Of
irresponsible, not to say dishonest peo-
pie they are called upon 10 serve, and
as they pay a good interest on the
2
this ground are justified.
Shows Company's Avariee.
But there are many complaints that
I think should occupy the attention OF
Congress. a few OF which are the fol-
lowing:
That the company requires a double
deposit on sub-meters and pays no in
terest on these deposits. Is this be-
cause they are compelled by act Of Con-
gress to do so In the first instance, and
not In the latter? II this is the case,
II only shows how much they will do
that they are not compelled to do, for
IL they hold both deposits, why should
they not pay interest in both cases2
SecOnd-That when the company con-
tracts to supply a tenant with gas.
gets the deposit, and, through its own
negligence, fails 10 discontinue the
supply before the bill exceeds the
amount OF the deposit, and the tenant
beats them out OF the difference. they
can then charge the amount TO the
any subsequent tenant until the bill Is
paid. either by the new tenant or the
owner. Why should the company not
be compelled 70 supply gas TO any one
who is not personally in default.
Third-The greatest cause Of com
plant is applicable alike TO the gas
and the electric light companies, and
case OF the gas, and 10 per cent in the
case Of the electric light company, for
failure to pay the bill within ten days
from thte first Of the month.
l wonder IL Congress realizes that IN
one case this penalty is at the rate Of
9l2 per cent and in the other 365 per cent
per annum, and that this enormous rate
