BOARD HEARS REQUEST
FOR RATE INCREASE
Commissioner Bacharach Hears Pro-
tests Against $2.75 Gas From
Shore municipalities.

A hearing on the Pleasantville Gas
Co.'s petition to increase thier rates
from 50 to $2.75 per thousand cubic
feet with a service charge of 25 cents,
was given in Atlantic City by Public
Utility Commissioner Harry Bacha-
rach on Tuesday. All the municipali-
ties along. the Shore Road which are
affected were represented by counsel
and protested against an increase.
Rev. DR.. Robert Arthur Elwood was
questioned as to the quality Of the gas
and replied: well, l took a steak
home for dinner the other night and
my wife put it over the gas to broil.
The gas was so poor and the pressure
and flame so weak that the steak
spoiled in the long wait for sufficient
heat to cook it. The quality of gas
has gone down as their prices go up"
President Reed claimed that unless
the increase is granted the company
will have to close its doors. Asked
specifically as to what he attributed
the necessity for a raise in rates, Mr..
Reed said there is a demand for gas
in the sparsely settled sections adjac-
ent to the cities, and the charge of
$2.75 is nc more than a fair price for
material and service. All present there
are about 2000 customers of the COM
pany. AS to the quality of gas fur
nished, Mr.. Reed declared it was a
strict conformity with the formula fix
ed by the Utility Commission for the
State and did not fall below that.
Mr.. Reed said he had built about
twenty gas plants in various parts of
the world, and the P~leasantville plant
was in a deplorable condition when it
was taken owe
would it be practical to serve the
same territory by laying mains from
Atlantic City or Ocean City," he was
asked. He replied that in his opin-
ion it would cost at least $3.50, 900 to
make the arrangements.
DO you think the public will be
able to stand a raise to $2.75?" quer-
led Commissioner Bacharach.
1--WE have been puzzled over that
returned Mr.. Reed. Eve thought we
were getting by with the So plus SER
vice charge, but out accounts showed
we were spending more than our re-
turns"
Asked by the commissioner if the
pipes were not laid too low, Mr.. Reed
said that wasn't the trouble but that
there were too many dead ends. Coun-
sci for the DIRECTORS asked Mr.. Reed
if it was true that many customers
had transferred to the Electric Co. 81
don't know of such a swing over"
said Mr.. Reed. Il do know that we
are adding new customers every day"

Honorable w. G.. Harding,

Most Honorable Sir and Bro
At a District Meeting held in Ocean
City, n. j., on Monday, May 30th, at
$50 p. m, delegations were present
from Cape May, Cape May Court
House, Dennisville, Seaville, Pleasant
vile and Atlantic City, and a resolu-
ton was passed instructing me to
send this communication to you. Tho
main exercises Of the evening were
devoted to the, commemoration of
those who have made the supreme
sacrifice.
Throughout our great country on
that day, and even in far away France,
where many of our boys are lying, like
services were held, and it vas with
the deepest interest | read your speech
made in the Arlington Cemetery.
While it is the greatest thing in this
life to honor and to pay homage to
those men who left their homes and
loved ones, and who said farewell to
all that they loved in life, and march
ed to their grave to preserve some
thing of value, as well as to protect
their country; it was the unanimous
thought of the meeting what a won
derful thing it would be, If %perchance
we would also try to exert every eff
fort TO help those men who were for
tunate to return to their loved ones,
but unfortunate enough to return
home wounded.
The teachings of our first Rank
prompts us to turn to you, and in the
name of Friendship to these unfortu-
nate wounded soldiers, we respectful
ly urge you to do everything in your
power to enact some legislation that
may help them. Atlantic City at the
present has a fund, helped by popu-
lar contributions for the purpose of
paying the expenses of wounded SOL
diers, sent to this City from different
parts of the State.
In your Inaugural Address you said:
America is ready to encourage, eager
to initiate, anxious to participate in
any seemly programme likely to les
sen the probability of war and pro-
mote that Brotherhood of Mankind,
which must be Gods highest concep-
ton of human relationship" and what
better seemly programme can there be
than to help the unfortunate crippled
soldiers, especially when he was so
crippled while defending the honor
and integrity of III illustrious coun-
try. Such noble work | believe would
