GAS COMP ANY SUES
FOR A DOLLAR RATE
Gets Federal Court Order For
bidding Enforcement of IS
Cent Schedule
Various Officials Make Many
Estimates as to ValuesOf
the Plant

The SAN Francisco gas and electric
company obtained from Judge Van
Fleet yesterday temporary restrain
ing order forbidding the enforcement
of the IS cent gas rate adopted for
the fiscal year beginning today. The
order will continue IN force for five
days. The hearing will be held on
July 6.
Ia support of tine plea for higher
rate, the gas company fled petition
asking that il be allowed to change
sl25 per eco feet. 1t adds however,
that il has represented to the super
visors that it win be satisfied with a
81 rate This is the figure that the
company Will adopt if the restraining
order is continued IN force by Judge
Van Fleet.
COMPANIES AFFIDANITS
Accompanying the petition are a
number of affidavits. One made by +.
value of S11,0O0,Oo0 on the gas plant.
John NJ Britton, president of the COM
pany estimates the value at $13, o0O,-
600 and adds 100000 for other prop
erty and real estate. J. B. Butler, the
auditor of the company, is not so mod
est in his computation and figures a
valuation of $1S,0o0.000.
The company claims that the year
lust closed showed net revenue of only
S6s, 1925, which was converted into a
deficit OF $377,S51.70. after the interest
and sinking fund had been met. 1t
asserts further that the expenses Of
manufacture and operation will be
greater this year than ever before The
cost of distribution is estimated by
PresideTct Britton TO be in excess of
60 cents for each 1000 feet. The COM
pany claims that it should be allowed
10 per cent on its investment.
DISCUSSION OF PROFITS
The petition recites the fact that the
Metropolitan company sells gas at 40
cents. 1t adds that this showing is not
to be taken as a basis of comparison.
as It is alleged that the Metropolitan
made a profit OF but $4,000 last year
on an investment of $780, eco.
The Pacific gas and electric COM
pany obtained an order restraining the
enforcement of a rate of s125 in Peta-
luna. 1t is claimed that the plant
there is worth $4,000. The rate was
at one time So per 1000 feet. but it
was gradually reduced to $1.50. with
4 special rate of 81 to consumers of
mare than 1000 feet The Petaluma
authorities have now established
maximum rate of $I25, and it is
againSt this figure that the, company
is fighting.
