Howard 8. Reside, president of the
Washington Gas Light Company. has
been out Of the city for several days
and others at the gas Office were not
prepared to say whether the company
regards the rates fixed by the COM
mission as ample to meet its needs.
The gas company asked for q slid
ing scale of rates that would go up
or down according to the price of oil.
The company's plan was to have q
basic rate of $1.08 per thousand feet
when oil is w cents a gallon and four
cents more for every cent increase in
the price of oil. Since the oil to be
used in June cost 1917 cents q gallon,
the rate would have been $1.30 per
thousand to private consumers un-
der the company's plan, or cents
more than the rate fixed by the COM
mission.
The new telephone rates also be-
come effective this month. Unlimited
residence service will be $3.50 a
month instead of IS; two-party line
residence. $3.50. instead of $2.25;

SEEK TO RECONCILE
DISTRICT BILL CONFEREES

Another effort to reconcile the diff
ferences between the District ap-
preparation bill as passed by the
House and that passed by the Senate
will be made by the conferees today
at the request of Senator Curtis OF
Kansas, who has asked them to meet
in the Senate appropriations commit
tee room.
The House bill as it stands would
abolish the half-and-half method of
financing the District of Columbia,
and would increase the rate Of taxa
tion from 1 II to 21s per cent.
As amended by the Senate the meas
ure would continue the half-and-half
plan. and would allow any unexpend-
ed surplus of one year. to apply on
the revenues of the following year.
AS the same issues are raised in
the Mapes bill. which has been sent to
conference. it is probable that an
effort will be made to have any
changes in the act of 1873 stricken
from the appropriation bill. and allow
the question to be decided on the
other measure.

Senator Johnson, but not afraid of

demonstration. the casting of his up

about four miles southeast Of town.
