PRICE OF GAS UP
TOCOMMISSIONERS,
SAYS SEN. NORRIS

Whether the Washington Gas
Light Company will be allowed to in
crease its rates from T5 cents to Sl.lO
per 1000 cubic feet today is square
ly up TO the Public Utilities commits
sioners-and. up to them alone, ac-
cording to Senator Norris OF Ne
braska
At the hearing yesterday Commits
sioner Gardiner introduced the fact
that Congress had passed an act
which seemed to prohibit the in
crease asked. This act was included
in the bill passed to provide for the
expenses of the branches OF the Gov
ernment located In Washington. II
went into effect on October ] OF last
year.
In an interview today, Senator
Norris, author of the bill. told The
Times that. according TO his inter
probation OF his own bill. Congress
had absolutely nothing to do with
the settlement OF tbe question before
the Commissioners today.
Norris Explains.
THE act OF Congress has nothing
whatever to do with what the Public
Utilities Commission decides in refer
ence to the rate case now in hand"
declared Senator Norris. by a pro-
viso attached to the bill in question.
It il plainly stated that the act was
not to be Interpreted as interfering in
any way with any future action that
the Utilities Commission might want
to take. q.
"In fact the action OF Congress was
taken simply because the Utilities
Commission did not seem disposed to
regulate the rates being charged by
the gas company, which were then too
high as had been shown on the floor
of the Senate repeatedly.
Up to COunIssIonerS.
THE question now at issue is en-.
tirely up to the Commissioners.
Neither Congress nor any act of Con
gress has anything TO do with the set
tIement OF the question in the stage
in which It is today
On the day after the public hearing
at which the Washington Gas Light
Company threatened to cease opera
tions unless they were allowed to in
crease their rates per 1000 cubic feet
OF gas from 20 cents to SI.IO. both the
Commissioners and the representa-
tives OF the company were strongly
reminded OF the fact that Congress
had passed an act prohibiting such
, an increase.
What Act Provides.
In the appropriation bill which pro
vidsd for the expenses OF branches OF
the Government located in Washing
ton, Congress plainly stated that
thereafter no part Of any money ap-
propFiated by this or any other act
shall be used for the payment to the
Washington Gas Light Company for
any gas furnished for use in any pub
lie building Of the United States or

the District OF Columbia at q rate in
excess OF 20 cents per 1000 cubic
feets'
The act goes on to say that The
Washington Gas Light Company shall
not charge or collect for gas furnished
a private consumer in excess of 20
cents per 1000 cubic feet" The act,
also states that the Georgetown Gas
Light Company shall not charge more
than So cents per 1000 cubic feet for
gas.
The point OF uncertainty comes
with this proviso which Is attached
to the act: This act is not to be
construed as limiting or taking away
any OF the powers now vested by
law in the Public Utilities Commits
sion OF tho District OF Columbia"
Gardiner Seeks Interpretation.
Commissioner Gardiner laid great
stress upon this act OF Congress.
passed primarily to cover the appro-
priations Of 1916, at the public hear
ing yesterday. He tried without sue
cess to ascertain the Interpretation
put upon the act by the gas company.
Mr.. Gardiner at the hearing also
questioned the power OF the Commits
sion TO act upon the petition OF the
gas company before the correct valu-
alton OF the company's property shall
have been settled by the court.
At the last public hearing OF the
claims OF the telephone company, IL
was hinted that private subscribers
should not be required to bear the.
expense Of the extra telephone equip
ment brought here for the use OF the
government.
Possibly Congress should step in
and take apart OF the burden on its
own shoulder" was the remark of
Corporation Counsel Syme at the last
hearing. The people that are not
responsible for the added expense
should not be made to bear the brunt
Of it."

HORSE LABOR ON FARMS.
tNatIsnai Crop Improvement s.rx,c. 7

On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April
May and in August, September and
October. The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to he
kept during the year to take care Of
the work during these busy months
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exner-
iment Station, under the direction Of
Thomas Cooper, now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station Tn
this same investigation it was found
that when the crops are diversified.
the horse labor is better distributed
There 10 less work for the horses IN
the seasons that are the busiest m
the all-grain farm, and there IS work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on the all-grain farm
