That sponsors OF the proposed

That President Wilson said there

OF GAS
IND. c. TOBE
INCREASED IN
SHORT TIME
BY BILL PRICE.

The price OF gas to consumers in
She District will be advanced in a
short time by the Public Utilities
Commission to something like 81 per
1000 cubic feet, the exact figure not
yet having been fixed.
The price will be determined in a
few days after the conclusion Of
hearings upon the petition of the
Washing gton Gas Light Company to be
allowed to charge S1.15 per 1000
cubic feet. The hearings will be re-
sumed by the utility commissioners
tomorrow, and at that time the wit
nesses for the company who have
heretofore been examined will be
subjected to cross-examination. The
commission may introduce witnesses
Of its own. Then the testimony will
be followed by brief arguments.
The commission is already con-
~inced that the gas light company is
losing money on a 9O-cent basis,
which is the present price. At that
rate, the members feel, the company
will not be able to pay reasonable re-
rurns upon its investment.
Figures Correct.
Experts of the commission who
have examined the books of the CON-
pany have reported that there is no
ground for thinking that anything
has been concealed, and say that the
figures Of cost production and net
earnings submitted to the commission
are substantially correct.
The utilities committee OF the
Federation of Citizens Associations
will be present tomorrow to make a
fight against the proposed increase in
rate. and other citizens representing
organizations will be permitted to
ask questions or to express their
views

BUSINESS IN WAR

NEW YORK. March 6.-The story

! increased price TO the consumers is
not right and will base his arguments
largely upon the claim that the
/ municipality owned gas plant Of Rich
mOnd, Va is charging but so cents
per thousand for the best gas and
! is making money for the city at that
While this was true several years
I ago Richmond some time ago raised
! the gas rate to S1.OO per thousand,
and that is the present price The
raise was made necessary there by
! increased costs of manufacture.
Richmond To Be Example.
Instead of Mr.. Clayton being able
to cite Richmond against the claims
of the Washington company it is
probable that the Washington COM
pany will use the Richmond situation
as an argument in their own behalf,
inasmuch as Richmond is held up to
the world as the model city in munich
pal ownership of utilities, and as
having furnished for years to its
citizens the best gas at the lowest
price in the United States.
Our neighbor, Alexandria, owns its
own gas plant, but it is too small to
compare with the situation in Wash
ington. Alexandria some months ago
was charging 81 per thousand for
gas when paid in bash on rendering
of the bill or $3.50 il delay in pay
ment.
That Rfchmond's successful owner
ship and management of her own gas
plant is an example of what mu-
nicipal ownership Of utilities may do
is conceded from all directions.
Richmond has owned her gas works
since 1851 1t decided in 1850 to
erect and manage its own plant, after
investigating the business in other
cities. They were in successful oper-
alton by February, 1851.
Street Lights Free.
Until the present time the Rich
mond plant has furnished lighting for
the public streets there absolutely
free OF charge and has earned about
8 per cent on original and additional
cost Of construction. Every taxpayer
is a stockholder. The taxpayers are
saved considerable money on the free
gas for street lighting.
All attempts by private companies
to purchase the plant have failed. It
is estimated that the plant has not
only paid for itself, but in addition to
furnishing low price gas to the peo-
pie, has turned into the city treasury
since 1851 over 100000 Of profits.
In 1917, on so cent gas, the city
made a net profit of S2OS,J4S, in ad-
dition to free lighting. all the time
setting aside funds for depreciation
ana improvements.
The Richmond plant sold gas to the
people at an average of 10 to 20 cents
a thousand feet lower than any Of the
privately owned plants elsewhere in
that State.
Graft and SpOiIs Shut Out.
1t is the unanimous opinion OF ex-
perts all over the country who have
investigated Richmond's municipal
ownership that graft and spoils have
