 The gas company's application to in- crease it's minimum charge from 50 cents to $1 per month, applyin Efe all bills for 500 cubic feet or less, also was granted.
 Tie raise in rates was granted solely o. the increase in the cost of fuel oil, according to the commission, wsich may take later action on the appHca ton in view of the fact that when the matter came up for hearing the show ing of the company was based on op- erations for the year 1919.
 The end of the year 1920 is at hand and full report of the company's busi- ness will be available within a few weeks, the regular report being due on March 1. We feel that we can now approach the disposition of the appli- cation within a greater degree of con- fidence when we have in our hands figures for the year now closing rather than figures presented to us covering a period ending nearly a. year ago. The oil situation, however, represents out of-pocket cost which there is no ques- ton but that the company is fully en. titled to recover and we shall so or.

POL|CE ENGAGED IN
 CAMPAIGN ON CRIME

Under the guidance of Police Chitf George o. Brisbois, the drive to abate tEe crime wave is being vigorously prosecuted. Every means known to the department is being employed in an effort to check the activities of rob bers and highwaymen.
 One of many means now being em- ployed by the department to check the crime wave is the arrest of all per sens not having visible means of sup port. Although officers have, as yet been unable Ho connect any of these persons up with recent crimes, it is felt that the general public is much safer with them behind the bars than at liberty.

 The application of the Pacific Gas and Electric company was filed early in the autumn, when it requested a 50- cent per 1000 cubic feet increase. The city sent to Chicago for gas expert, G H. Huddle, who with J. E. Nelson, assistant city attorney, appeared for the city when the matter came up for hearing the latter part of November. The company in support of it's applI- cation offered evidence alleging that the operation of it's gas plant is at tended with increased cost of fuel oil and labor; that the rate of return from 8 per cent to 10 per cent is not suffi- cient; that the annual depreciation re- serve charge is not sufficient and that other adjustments should be made relative to the details of working capital
