asked the commission. for rate of
G1-44 and a rate of return of 5 per
cent. The commission decided that
per cent was a fair rate of return.
November Bills Higher.
When private consumers Of gas
receive their bills next month. they
will find that gas used during No
vember win be charged under the
new rate. The present rate will be
applied to gas used this month.
Large consumers Of gas. other
than the District and Federal gov
prnments, will pay a graded rate,
which decreases according to the
amount Of gas used. The decrease
amounts to cents on every addi-
tional 100000 cubic feet Of gas used.
Consumers Of 100000 cubic feet or
more are given d rate of $1.O7 per
thousand cubic feet.
The commission would have eN-
tended the operation period Of the

companies business year ends. but
,or the fact that the Bureau of

sumers. The former now pay 20
cents per thousand cubic feet.
Possible Reduction.
Should the government be made
10 pay the same rates as ordinary
consumers, the commission stated,
ordinary gas users rates could be
cut from 4 to Az cents.
The commission justified its action
In increasing the rates by stating
in Yesterdays order that "a ma
.eriaI increase in the price of coal
and some increase in the price of
oil and in wages have occurred since
the commission established the pres
INT rates"
The operating increases have pre-
vented the companies from earning

pensate the companies for their
