STAUN1ON'S GAS RATE
TO CONTINUE At SIPS

RICHMOND, Va, May 28.-The
State Corporation Commission con-
tinued the s2.25 gas rates for the city
of Staunton at a hearing held this
morning upon request OF the city
council Of that place.
Evidence presented to the Commits
sion showed that, while during the
past six months the company had only
earned per cent on the vadue Of it's
property, the April report was very
satisfactory. The Commission decided,
however. that II would be unwise to
reduce the gas rate on the strength
OF one months showing.
Judson C. Dfckerman. engineer Of
the Commission. testified that the
quality of gas furnished Staunton by
the City Gas Company is the best in
the State.
Several years ago the company went
into the hands of a receiver after be-
ing sold for $4,000 and having liabil-
tiles OF $4,000. In order to afford
II relief the Commission granted 1t
a temporary gas rate of &2.25 a thou
sand cubic feet eight months ago.
