victory. They had won their first

brave enough to meet boldly any

players to a mad dog, threatening
hedgehog, or a scampering wood
chuck, when all of a sudden they
noticed a something crawling direct

was black. 1t had beady looking
eyes with a small head drawn down
close to the body and a short tail.
Said tail lying half curled against
the body in a threatening manner.

SLIDING SCALE FOR GAS
RATE, HEARING SUBJECT
Varying Cost Of Oil Affects Local
Manufacture, Says Petition to
Be Discussed Tomorrow.

The Public Utilities Commission will
begin hearing in the boardroom of
the District building at 1920 o'clock
tomorrow morning on the application
of the Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light companies to establish a
sliding scale Of gas rates after
June l.
Because the price Of oil used in the
manufacture of gas is changing con-
stantly. the company tells the com
mission, the rate to the consumer
should be regulated each month as
the price of oil for the month goes
up or down.
The commission is asked to fix the
basic rate at $1.08 per thousand cubic
feet IL the price of oil should be IN
cents a gallon and to add 1 cent to
the consumers rate for every fourth
Of a cent increase in the price Of oil
per gallon. This ratio is based on the
fact that it takes four gallons of oil
to thousand cubic feet Of gas
The company states that it has had
to pay 1914 cents a gallon for its
June supply of oil, which. under the
proposed plan. would make the rate
$3.50 a thousand cubic feet for that
month.
Howard S. Reside. president of the
Washington company, told the COM
mission in his application that al
though gas oil is difficult to obtain
at any figure, one company has agreed
to furnish Washington with oil dur
ing this year. This company, how
ever, could give no assurance that the
price Of the oil would not change
from month to month.
