UTILITY COMMISSIONERS
HEAR APPEAL OF GAS co
az speclal correspondent.

BY Special (OfTc@poAaSals
TRENTON. July 2S.-The question
as to whether the reduction of the
heating standard of gas supplied by
the companies operating in New Jer-
sew would operate to cause increased
consumption and higher gas bills 10
the consumers was uppermost here
today in the minds of the representa-
tiyes of the municipalities which
attended the hearing before the
public utility commission on the
question of cutting the standard of
500 British termal units in gas
supplied throughout the state.
An expert from the bureau Of
standards at Washington. H. L.
Philips. told the utility board that
in Massachusetts, where the standard
had been reduced to SIS British
terman units, there had been slight
drop in the consumption used. but
declined to give an opinion whether
this was caused by the lowering of
the heating standard or through
sheer economic forces.
Would you say the decrease there
averaged ten cents on bill?" asked
Randall Lewis, city attorney for
Paterson. The expert refused 10
make a calculation along that line,
" maj oN1AAN4AANAN- -
related that Great Britain's standard
for gas is 450 units, New York has a
figure of $50, which may be cut down
because of present agitation. he
characterized 500 units, which is the
standard in this state now, with 559
the minimum as excessive. The wit
ness thought the heating standard
should not be allowed to drop below
! 500 British termal units.
Counsel Lewis pointed that If the
heating standard is reduced il must
necessarily follow that consumers
will have to burn more gas to get
required power which obtains under
the present standard. The expert
admitted this TO be so. In reply to
a question from l.. Edward Herri-
gam, counsel for the utility board.
l Phillips stated that there is no ques-
tion but a greater gas eff1cieney can
be maintained with a standard below
$50 provided the gas appliances are
properly adjusted. The expert made
| the startling declaration that in
fourteen years. unless new fields in
this country are discovered. the
United States will be bankrupt in the
matter of its supply Of petroleum,
which is used in the manufacture OF
gas
During the war the standard was
lowered in order TO permit a great
er supply for other needs in the cri-
sis. The Public Service Gas Com
pany which serves communities in
the state was represented at hear
ing today in the person OF Vice
President Edmund w. Wakelee and
L H. d. Gi mlouirotscuhihtgn
