EXPERT TO PROBE
GAS COMPANIES
Representative Lobeck Wants So.
900 Appropriated for the
Purpose.

Representative LobeCk OF Nebraska. a
member OF the House District Commit
tee. has determined to introduce a reso-
luton asking that the special committee
OF the House District Committee which
is investigating the administration Of the
District be empowered TO employ the
services of an expert to assist in the in
yestigation OF the gas companies here.
Mr.. Lobeck does not know just when
he will introduce the resolution. or
whether 1t will call for a special COM
mittee to do the work. 1t is probable
the work will be left to the subcommit-
tee which conducted a short investiga-
ton into the gas situation last summer
and which adjourned with the announce
ment that the subject was too technical
and comprehensive to be settled upon by
members Of Congress without the as
sistance OF an expert who could devote
his entire time to the work.
II Is believed Mr.. Lobeck's resolution
will ask for $4,000 for the employment
OF an expert and the necessary clerical
assistance.
This is another subject which, in the
belief OF many, best could be dealt with
by the public utilities commission pro-
vided in the Oldfield and Gallinger bills.
both OF which now are awaiting action
by the House District Committee. An
early passage of a utilities bill in the
House and its subsequent acceptance by
a conference committee would make the
Lobeck resolution unnecessary.
