OUTSIDE MONEY TO
AID GAS SITUATION
Citizens Federation Hears New
Source of Capital May
Boost Development.

That outside capital" was interest
ed in the gas situation in the Dis
trict. was the statement today of W.
b. Wcstlake. president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations Mr..
Wcstlake refused to give any details,
other than to say that "a group of
men with whom / am connected ex-
pect to offer solution to the gas
question before long"
At a meeting OF the federation last
night in the District building, Mr..
Clayton expressed qualification that
the Public Utilities Commission, in
fixing the new gas rate Friday, did
not allow the company return of
s per cent on the value of its prop
erty.
Members Of the association declared
that they feared that IL the commits
sion allowed the gas company's con-
tention for an s per cent return, the
street car. electric light and tele-
phone companies would be justified in
asking the same returns.
II also developed at the meeting
that the Washington and George
town Gas Light companies and the
commission have received complaints
from residents of the District. par.
ticularly those living in suburbs, to
the effect that there is a low pressure
Of gas for use between the hours of
and @ o'clock in the evening when
the cooking OF meals results in a
strain on the pressure of the sys-
TEN.
The companies have stated that
because of the big development OF
the suburbs. this low pressure Of gas
las naturally followed. but that they
are installing larger mains to in
crease the pressure of gas.
