3O-Cent Gas Defended
BY Attorney General
Newton Files Answer to Suit
by Companies and Denies
Rate Is "COnfiscaiOry''

Attorney General Charles D. Newton
answered the suit of the Consolidated
Gas Company yesterday with state
ment, filed in the United States District
Court, declaring that the sO-cent gas
rate of 1906 is reasonable and not con-
fiscatory as alleged. He holds that the
s0-cent rate not only will not entail
irreparablc injury upon the gas COM
pany but will actually afford fair re-
turn upon the capital invested
The Consolidated Gas Company in
its complaint, naming the Attorney
General and the Public Service Com
mission as joint defendants, placed its
invested capital, under the court de-
cision in 1906, at sos ,612,435, but as
serted it has spent since then $14,OS5,-
265 for improvements, to which must
be added an item of S12,0000O0 for
goodwill.
1t was also set forth that revenue
for the year that ended December 81
was SIS, 764,2SS and operating expenses
S15,665 ,046, leaving a net surplus Of
S99,242, which would yield a dividend
of only onequarter of per cent on the
invested capital
