75-CENT GAS RATE
BECOMES EFFECTIVE
Georgetown Charge Cut From ST to
IS Cents.

Reduction Of the rates of the Washing
ton Gas Light Company as predicted by
the law passed during the last session
of Congress, has been in effect several
days, according to an official Of tho COM
pany, who said last night that after
tho September reading Of the meters all
charges would be on the basis OF rs cents
per 1000 cubic feet.
As the reading OF meters usually takes
from eight to ten days, some residents
will benefit By the reduction for Ten
days prior TO the time the law goes
into effect
As originally passed the law called
for the reduction to rs cents on October
/, but realizing that to make this rate
elective on the day designated, there
would have 70 be g separate reading OF
=, the meters, the company decided to al
low the cheaper rate for the remaining
days of the month after the September
&, reading.
This rate applies to consumers on the
east side of Rock Creek. On the west
side, supplied by the Georgetown Gas
light Company, the rates are reduced to-
day from 81 to IS cents
Howard Reside, president OF the Wash
ington Gas Light Company. said the COM
pany would comply with the new law
without resort to the courts.
There is a possibility that the two gas
companies Of Washington and George
town will be amalgamsted following the
action of the Public Utilities Commission
in establishing valuations Of these oon-
Germs
! Commissioner Newman, speaking Of the
pos zibility Of amRlgamstion. said:
Personally favor Il, II It can be es-
tablished on fair valuation basis, and
! although I am not empowered to speak
, for the other members OF the commission.
1 don't believe there would be much op-
position to tho combination"
! One OF the reasons urged for the con-
solidation is that considerable overhead
| expense could be eliminated, thereby
making possible a further reduction in
