GlS COMPANY MIKES
TOO MUCH MONEY

Norfolk, Va. Jan. 24.--Norfolk's
gas situation began TO get a thorough
probing yesterday when the investiga-
ton of the new rates charged for gas
In the city and the method of opera
ton of the City Gas company had its
opening session in the City Hall
Not only was it established that the
company Is making money at the one
dollar rate. but that II has a surplus
Of 100000 after having paid divi-
dends, interest on bonds and provided
for improvements.
While the hearing was in progress,
T. Norman Jones. general manager OF
the gas company. announced TO the
press that the company had just
awarded contracts for improvements
to its plant to cost about $4,000.
Mr.. Jones also stated that the In.
crease In gas rates from 81 to $i.l0
per 1000 cubic feet Is already In eff
feet. A great number of the 25-cent
slot meters have been SO altered that
they are now furnishing only 912 Gu.
bic feet for dollar. and the work
of changing all OF them is being
rushed. Users of gas who have the
straight meters are being billed at the
new rate, from December 20.
The cheaper gas committee OF tbs
city contends that this advance In rate
is too high and entirely out of pro-
PORTION to the company's investment
The gas people, however. are going
ahead with the higher rate, pretl.
eating their authority to do so upo1
the fact that they filed with the stasC
corporation commission their inten.
ton to do so.
