RAISE in
GAS RATE
ALLOWED
Cooperation Commission Permits Local
Company to Boost Price 10 $l.S5;
Rate Is Effective June |

In an order just issued by the Cor
poration commission, the Chickasha
Gas and Electric company Is author
lied to raise the gas rates In this
city to $1.S5 per 1000 cubic feet, the
rate to be effective on and after
June 1 This order was issued fol-
lowing petition filed by the local
company with the corporation com
mission asking that a raise in the
rate be permitted. The hearing was
held in Chickasha on May 20.
The commission stated in its opin-
ion and order that it found from
the testimony and data submitted
by the company, that a raise was
justified Paragraphs from the rul-
ing of the commission follow:
"The petition states that the gas
receipts from the operation for the
year 1916 were $21,S46.61 operating
expenses for the same year, $16,
29718. During the year 1917 the re-
ceipts from operation amounted to
$23,152.92, and operating expenses
to $21,64711 There was a net op-
Grating income of $1,525.21, without
charge for depreciation or interest.
With such charges allowed the re-
suit shows a material deficit
ut is evident from the foregoing,
and the commission finds that the
applicant needs the increase prayed
for 1t is the duty of the corpora
ton commission to protect the pub
lie against a failure of service of any
public utility and such protection
involves not only the prevention OF
cxtortionate charges, the application
of which means the confiscation OF
destruction of property necessary tc
operation 1t may be that certain
users of the commodity furnished by
this applicant will find it impossible
to continue the use of gas under the
rates sufficient to safeguard the ex
istence of the property, but this fac
is no justification for continuing il

the sale of the commodity at les
than its cost of production"

Rome, June 18.-The Italians con-
tinue to check the Austrians at all
points, inflicting bloody defeats at
two places on the Piave, the mid
night statement issued by the Ital-
ian supreme command stated. A
successful counter offensive has
been started by the Italians on the
lower Piave.
The Austlans, exhausted by The
Anglo-French and Italians counter
attacks in the north have failed to
renew their infantry assaults in the
mountain region and the important
Montello sector. South of Montello
between Senson and Fossalta on
three mile front an important action
has developed but the enemy was
stopped at every piont leaving 100
prisoners. Attempts to cross the
Piaye between Masorda and Pam
delve were bloodily repulsed.
Using Full Strength.
Austria's entire effective strength
has already been thrown into the
Italian drive, according to semi
official statement. OF a total of 80
divisions, II have been identified.
AS far as quality is concerned these
constitute the really effective troops
Of the enemy.
The Austrians have at least $500
guns of all calibres and their entire
aviation force to use, in addition to
an abundance of war material. They
have only progressed at two points
where their gains we're slight in
comparison with the detectives as.
