BALTIMORE TO GET
GAS AT s. CENTS
Secondary Rate Available to
Domestic Users February |.
Must Use 1000 Feet.

BALTIMORE. Jan 1l.-With the re-
duction IN the price of gas from so cents
TO IS cents per 1000 cubic feet as Or
dered by the public service Commission.
the Gas and Electric Company has an
nounced a further reduction by the
establishment of secondary rate or
80 cents net per 1000 cubic feet. or less
than half Of the primary rate estab-
lished by the public service commission
for domestic users. This secondary rate
Is available to all domestic users OF gas
in Baltimore and it's suburbs. and VIII
begin on February l.
Under the plan adopted bv the Gas
and Electric Company the 35-cent rate
Will apply to all gas used in excess OF
the maximum amount used in any one
month of last year. except for those
users whose CONSUMPTION amounted to
less than 1000 feet in the month OF
maximum use. For these. the minimum
amount to be used before the 85-cent
rate Is reached will be 1900 feet a
month.
Must Use Maximum Amount.
Briefly. the plan works out in this
way: The householder who used less
than 1000 feet in his hiphest month OF
1915 will paw IS cents. the rate estab-
lished by the public service commission
for the first 1000 feet of gas he uses.
For all gas used in excess 6f 1000 feet.
he will pay at the rate of So cents per
1000 feet
The man whose heaviest consumption
for any month Of 1915 was 5000. 1000.
or 10000 feet. will get the benefit OF the
35-cent rate when he passes the figure
that represents his maximum consump-
tion In a month. In other words. he
must use the maximum amount he used
in any month Of last year before he
gets the benefit Of the secondary rate,
work on the part of officials. engineers
and accountants of the company and is
In fulhlln,ent of its publicly announced
policy to perfect plans to give to the
tage of "a gas service which, for low
cost, uniformity OF quality, pressure
and dependability, and adequacy OF
supply has never before been equaled
in any community"
No Pressure From Without.
This new move on the part of the
company has been without any pres
sure whatever from any source outside
the company. In effect, it says to each
OF the customers Of the company: "The
public service commission has ordered
the price Of gas to be fixed at 20 cents.
We accept that and make the reduction.
But we will go further. We will make
that price apply to the amount of gas
you used last year, using your maxi
mum months consumption for the
standard. For all you use in excess OF
that amount we will give you the gas
at IS cents. or less than half the rate
established by the commission"
In making arrangements for the re-
duction, the company was naturally
compelled to consider the mass con-
sumption of gas by the community and
1T was found, its experts say. that the
plan adopted was the most equitabl
that could be devised.
O1lcials of the gas company stated
that If necessary the company could
double its output Of gas in a short time
should the demand Justify 1t.
