GARDINER URGES BOOST
IN ELECTRICITY RATES

A merger OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and the
Potomac Electric Power Company
with an increase in electricity rates
to the power company would
straighten out the w. r. & z. finan-
cially and solve the street car prob
lem In such manner as to retain the
scent carfare. Commissioner Gwynn
W. Gardiner declares in his minor
ity report. issued yesterday. on the
Utilities Commissions 7-cent car
fare order. effective Nov. /.
He would boost the electricity
rates from 10 cents per kilowatt
hour to 13.43 cents.
Commissioner Gardiner points out
that the new street car rates will
make II necessary for an average
family of four persons to spenu
S3.15 additional each month. His
scheme is to increase the cost of
electricity to each OF the 23.365 cleo
tricity users in Washington at the
rate Of so cents a month. This
would mean a saving of Sass a
month to each family. thus showing
that the electricity increase would
be a help rather than a burden for
electricity users
