to the United States Government after
this country entered the war. He said
that the defendant had aided In the dis

$3.50 GAS SOUGHT
BY CONSOLIDATED
Request for 30 Cent. Increase
to Be Made Before Judge
Hand To-day.

John p. O'Brien. Corporation Counsel
ceived notice that the Consolidated Gas
Company would so to-day before Judge
Learned Hand of the United States
District Court and ask that it be al
feet for gas, or an increase of thirty
cents a thousand feet over the present
rate of S1.20. which the company is
charging under a court order.
The notice. which was accompanied
by a voluminous affidavit from William
l.. Ransom, counsel for the company.
came as a complete surprise to the Cor
poration Counsel. who declared that he
had received only forty-eight hours no
tice of the proposed action Of the COM
pany.
The rate of $1.20 was allowed by
Judge Hand when the statutory rate of
eighty cents was declared confiscatory
The S1.2O ruling was appealed. 1t was
understood, however, that that rate was
to be continued pending legislative
action modifying the eighty cent rate.
The increase of thirty cents now pro-
posed would affect consumers in Man
haitian. The Bronx and part of Astoria
Information from gas company sources
last night was that last years sales
amounted to between 1SO00.00 and 2O,-
900, 90 thousand cubic feet. That was
for the Consolidated alone, however
but it was understood at the office of
the Corporation Counsel that the in
crease would apply also to the COM
panies controlled by the Consolidated.
Moody's Manual for 1920 gives the
sales of the Consolidated and subsidia-
res for 1919 as 33,674.972 thousand
cubic feat Those figures would indicate
that a 80 cent increase would yield the
company an annual gross increase In
revenue of s10.100000. It would not be
surprising however If the 1921 sales of
the Consolidated and subsidiaries reached
approximately 35.000,000 thousand cubic
feet which at the present rate of Sl.2O
would yield 42.000.000, and to which
the proposed additional 80 cents would
add s1o.500.000.
Persons closely associated with the
gas company appeared surprised last
night that the company's intention oi
going before the court should have be-
come public. 1t was intimated that II
was not definitely decided that the pc
tition would be filed to-day, and also
that when filed the increase asked Tor
might not be as high as 80 cents.
The company contends that ii is cost
ing s149 to manufacture gas Twenty
cents of the proposed increase, 1t Is
stated, will be required to cover the cost
of gas oil alone.

father is president, Jacob Franklin
Dubbel, 35 years old OF SO Fletcher ave-

Sentence was imposed by Judge
Thomas c. r. Grain in General Sessions
after Dubbel, who was arrested last
August, had pleaded guilty to attempted
grand larceny. According to Frederick
Sullivan, Assistant District Attorney,
numerous men well known in the bank
ing and social circles had endeavored to
obtain special clemency for the prisoner.
Dubbel. who described himself in
court as a general banking secretary"
admitted that he had deposited worth
less $500 check drawn on his fathers
bank with a trust company here. and
that he had endeavored to draw $4,000
cash from the trust company on the
strength of that deposit. His fathers
bank had refused to honor his draft.
