NO 95-CENT GAS,
SAYS CONTROLLER
c" Dcses Reduction to Con-
sumer When Company
Cuts Price January l
CITY NEEDS THE MONEY

John NJ walton. city Controller toda,
| placed himself on record as being opposed
| TO giving consumers The benefit of a five
| cent reduction in gas charges which WIN be
| brought about January !, 1918, when the
| United Gas Improvement Company is un.
| der contract to reduce It's price 10 the city
| from eighty cents to scventy-fve cents a
| thousand cubic feet.
| Thousands Of householders and many
| politicians are Interested in the disposition
of this saving Of five cents per thousand
| cubic feet
! The company now charges the consumer
| 81 for one thotsand cubic feet. and the
| twenty cents over the price allowed II under
the lease with the city, goes into the City
Treasury, At present there is widespread
speculation as 10 whether the next hve-cent
reduction also will be placed IN the city
Treasury or will 60 directly to the consumer
in the form of ninety-lve-cent gas.
In this era of high prices. when 1t is be-
coming daily more difficult for the average
| taxpayer and householder to meet current
expenses, the sentiment in Philadelphia
among gas users is that the Immediate
benefit Of the reduction should be passed on
to the consumer.
Already the suggestion Is heard on many
sides that no man should he elected to
Councils this fall unless he pledges himself
to maximum price of ni.-ety-nve cents for
gas
sumer tho benefit Of the flve-Cent reduction
Controller Walton said
"tt is absolutely necessary that this
money he turned into the City Treasury
We need the revenue and If we don't
get 1t out of the gas we will have to get
il some other way II amounts TO indi-
rect taxation. and If we should give phIla.
delphia nincty-fivc cent gas at this time we
should have TO place tax of a few additional
cents upon real estate and real estate is
already burdened enough. The Cas plant is
paying us a handsome interest on the
amount of our investment. and there is no
reason why we should curtail the city's
income from that source I'm any way
"Nnety-iive cent gas would not bring anv
real benefit TO the people at this time, be-
cause we should have to get the money out
of them some other way"
The lease of the gas works by the city TO
the United Gas improvement COMPANY Is
for period of thirty years. until December
1927. The lease includes all property owned
by the city and heretofore used i'm the manu-
facture and distribution of gas, and anv
change, alterations repairs, etc, during the
lease are to be made by the company at its

The charge to consumers dncluding those
