FROM INDUSTRIES
Public Service Commission
Establishes Precedent in
Rate Case.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April L.
For the first time in the history OF
the public service commission of West
Virginia, order was issued yesterday
forbidding the sale on a large scale
OF natural gas to commercial and in
dustrlal enterprises. In an order
granting Increased rates to the West
Virginia and Maryland Gas Company
of West Virginia, and the Northern
Natural Gas Company, all subsidiaries
of gas to manufacturing and indus
trial concerns, including gas engines
after November 1, is restricted. These
companies serve 1852 consumers in
northeastern West Virginia in forty
four cities and towns.
The order further authorizes the
companies to sur-eharge all bills for
gas 20 per cent or more on each bill
for 10000 cubic feet or less, and 40
per cent for all gas consumed in ex-
cess of 10000 cubic feet, after the las,
meter reading in march.
The commission in an opinion is
sued sets forth that gas companies
should be allowed from IL to 20 per
cent on Investment, which includes
depreciation, according TO value of the
service, costs and wisdom, produeuce
skill and enterprise shown in the OPP
Grafton. 1t allows 10 per cent to
these companies, eight per cent for
depreciation and four per cent on the
investment, the latter being small,
because of the alleged poor service.
