CREDITS HARD PROBLEM,
Expert Says It Will Be Burden on

One OF the perplexing and important
problems to fall on the managers of the

ing to Prof. o. NJ. w. Sprague Of Har-

fore the Senate banking committee.

Silence the last year." he said, they
would have been besieged with demands
from business for more money and an
extension of discounts. AS it is, l think
the moderate liquidation business has

GAS OFFICIALS STUDY
CONSOLIDATION PLAN
Hope to Submit a Program
Public Utilities Commission
Will Approve.

Plans for amalgamating the Washing
ton and Georgetown Gas Light companies
were again under consideration by at
torneys and officials Of the corporation
today. indications serving to strengthen
the belief that the utilities commission
shortly is to be asked to approve the
scheme.
Howard s. Reside. vice president Of
the Washington company. said this morn
ing that there is nothing new In the
situation. but that there probably will
be developments at an early date.
At Work on Plan.
In view of the questioned right Of the
companies to amalgamate without ex-
press authority from Congress, attorneys
for the corporations are looking carefully
into the matter with the object of pre-
senting to the utilities commission q plan
OF consolidation which that body may be
inclined to consider favorably.
Following the filing yesterday OF the
Commissioners bill to dissolve the Wash
ington Gas Light Company, the next
move Is up to that concern. 1t has ten
days In which to enter it's appearance and
twenty days from that time in which to
file an answer.
It is believed that should the company
dis~ose of ia stock in the Georgetown
company, which the Commissioners de-
clare is he'd in violation of the anti
merger law, the proceedings will be at
once withdrawn
Bent on Consolidation.
1t is conceded that this probably would
be the easiest way for the corporation to
meet the situation confronting it by rea-
son of the Commissioners asking for its
dissolution and the appointment OF re-
ceivers to take charge of its affairs.
Mr. Reside and directors of the Wash
ington company, however are disposed to
bring about the proposed consolidation.
If they can obtain the consent of the
utilities commission. They believe that
the public will receive the most bene-
fit through this move. as 1t will lead.
they claim, to uniform price Of gas
and result In a reduction in the price OF
gas west Of Rock creek to IS cents.
