firms that are alleged to be connected
with this company.

into executive session and reported
that a finding will be returned next

BAvIS SAYS
HIGHER GAS
IS H0LDUP

"The sixty cent gas rate proposed
by the Light, Heat & Power company.
if accepted by the city, would consti-
tute an absolute hold up" President
Bavis of the board of public works
said today.
Under a sixty cent rate the large
consumers would contribute. proper
tionately less to the company's reve-
nue. than the small consumers. In
other words it would be up to the
small consumers to foot the bill"
At a conference of city officials to-
day it was decided to make no further
efforts to negotiate with the Light,
Heat & Power company for compro-
mise gas rate. 1t will be left to the
state commission to establish rates.
Board Rejects Schedule.
The company yesterday proposed a
sliding rate schedule with maximum
of so cents This was rejected by the
board of public works almost without
discussion. The city might have lis
tened to a compromise schedule pro-
viding ten cent rate increase for
each classification of consumers, but
the company would not hear to such
proposal
1--WE believe the company is not en-
titled to more than ten cent rate in
crease, if it is entitled to any at ALL
President Bavis said today. Last year
the company's approximate output
was 3OO,OO0,o0O cubic feet of gas. On
the same output a ten cent Increase
would yield the company 100000 addi-
tional revenue or total income of
$4,000 because the company's net in
come last year under existing rates
was $4,000.
Says Valuation High.
"The company claims valuation OF
100000 for it's gas property. We
claim this valuation is not in excess of
s350,000. But suppose 100000 val
uation was established and the COM
mission decided that the company was
entitled to earn six per cent on this
valuation and two per cent for de-
probation fund That would yield the
company approximately $4,000 per an
mum, or $4,000 more than provided by
ten cent rate increase. Perhaps the
commission might provide seven per
cent earnings and three per cent for
depreciation, and it is almost certain
it will not go higher than this, then
the company would have an income of
$4,000 per year on the valuation it
claims for it's property.
''The company could also earn con-
siderably more if it curtailed its OPP
Grating expenses Last year, the COM
pany's books show 81 per cent of the
gross income was used to meet the
cost of operation. That is ridiculous"
