 MAKING POWER
Point is Raised When Gas Rate Hear. ing is Reopened at the Capitol.

Whether the earning and expenses fthe Little Rock Gas and Fuel compa ny should be admitted as evidence in the hearing 0 nthe application for in- Gas company is question obe de cided today by the Arkansas Railroad Commission, which yesterday re-opened the hearings.
 The application for rate increases was begun last year by the Arkansas Corporation Commission. and hearings were stopped when that organiza tiOn was abolished by act of the legisla ture and the Railroad Commission creat ted The act creating the Railroad Com mission reduced the powers considera bly, and restored to towns and cities their jurisdiction over local utilities. A specal act was passed. however. au- thorizing the Railroad Commission to continue the hearings.
 It was discovered yesterday. accord ing to members of the commission, thd, the special act did not vest the com mission with full authority in the mat ter because of amendments which elm- mated the ratemaking power, reserv ing this function to the municipalities in which the utilities are located. Mem bers of the commission said yesterday that they would have no power to pre- sc ibe rates in Little Rock and Hot Springs. which are served by separate companies. who receive their gas from tn eArkansas company at the city linn it's Tn Hot Springs and Little Rock the rate making power is a function of the city councils. but other towns served directly by the Arkansas compa- nv lie within the jurisdiction of the commission.
