MAY. CUT CHARGE
FOR GAS HERE
Railroad Commission Be
gins Investigation of
Gas Rates.
NO HEARING HERE
Commission Takes up Matter
On Own Motion that Reduc-
ton May Be Justified.
NO HEARING HERE

The Wisconsin Railroad Commission
today began an investigation, Of the
gas rates in cities served by the Wis
consin Gas and Electric company to
determine if reductions are justified at
the present time. The action is being
taken on the motion of the commits
sion and not the suggestion of the
cities served by the company and the
investigation is declared to be in line
with the policy of the rate body to
institute inquiry into rates, where it
is thought that reductions may be jus
tilted. The cities directly affected by
the investigation are: Kenosha, Ra-
cine, Cudahy and South Milwaukee.
Informal complaints against rates
charged have been received from all
of these cities, but so far as is known
none of the cities have filed a direct
application with the commission for
reduction of the rates charged for
gas. 1t is. not expected that the pres
ent investigation will include a probe
into rates charged by the same company
for electric lighting and power service.
No Hearings Announced Here.
No word has been received by of
fcials of Kenosha that hearings as to
the rates charged for gas will be held
in Kenosha and it is believed that the
commission will limit it's investigation
at the present time into the examina-
tion of the books Of the company. 1t
is expected that expert auditors of the
commission will give testimony as to
the returns which the company has
received from the gas service in the
various cities served by it.
The matter of gas rates has been
much under fire in Kenosha but in re-
cent years all of the changes in the
rates have been with the upward
trend. Many complaints have been filed
with local officials against the rates
charged by the company here but these
have all been of the informal nature.
Don't Expect to be Called.
II know of no reason why the COM
mission should call Kenosha officials
to testify in this investigation or why
the commission should come here to
examine witnesses" said one of the
officials in Kenosha this morning,
THE rates will be based on the earn
ings of the company and what some
people in Kenosha think rates should
be would be of little interest to the
commission. The matter is one which
can be taken care of by the commits
sion without any one from Kenosha
taking any part of it. Kenosha gas is
made in Racine and probably the costs
of making it will be found in Racine
and not Kenosha. 1t has been my ex-
perience that the commission bases
any decision it may make as to rates
on the actual figures of manufacture
and selling costs so that it would be
unnecessary for any one to butt in on
the investigation"
The commission has already handed
down several orders reducing utility
rates in Wisconsin cities and local
pJeople are hopeful that the same re-
suit will follow here. Nothing is said
as to when the commission will make
public the results of its investigation
