litIcal activities Of the gas company's
officials
Back of all this, Of course stands out the
oner to purchase the company's plant out
rlRht and operate It without increasing the
present price. This offer was made through
-. NJ Davis. president Of the Voters Nom
partisan League, at the public hearing on
tuesday evening. just before the commits
sion began its star chamber" session.
MT Davis would not divulge the name
OF the man making the offer, but he de-
clared that he stood ready to produce a
certified check for 81 moo, 900 the following
morning as a proof of the good faith of the
oiter IL was learned today, however, that
the man back of the offer is Alfred 1 du
Pont, head of the faction which Instituted
the court proceedings in the famous du
Foht securities case TO take from Pierre
5. du Pont and his associates the powder
securities purchased from T. Coleman du
Pont
The proposal Of the gas company to in
crease the price TO consumers, II was de-
clared here today. will be a boomerang
which will probably result i'm a reduction
instead Of an increase. Statistics have been
gathered by G. Fred Backer a former
member Of the Public Utility Commission
which show that the average price of gas
IN number of cities about the size Of
Wilmington is not over eighty cents per
thousand feet consumed.
IF the water could be squeezed out of
the company's capitalization" declared Hor-
ace q. Eastburu, an attorney and a leader
IN Independent political movements. dis
cussing the situation today, I'VE could have
gas for eighty cents and probably for less,
and even at that figure the company could
earn II per cent on the money actually
paid in"
The present price of gas in wilmington
is ninety-hve cents per thousand feet con-
sumed. Late in September the company
sent letters to all consumers announcing an
arbitrary tax of twenty-five cents per month
on all meters i'm service regardless of the
amount Of gas consumed. \ storm Of pro-
| test Immediately broke. II was charged
that the company did not have the right
to raise the price without the approval of
the Board Of Utility Commissioners. In
| response to the protests the commissioners
| held several hearings.
On Tuesday evening last after q heated
| debate between representatives of the COM
! pany and number of citizens, the COM
| mission went into an executive session
| Subsequently it was learned that although
| the protesting citizens were denied admis-
| sion to the meeting representatives of the
| gas company were present at the session,
and it was there that the meter tax was
| withdrawn and the ten-cent per thousand
| increase offered.
| The commission the following morning
| gave its approval to the increase without
| notifying any of the original complainants
| and without a public hearing
