CITY COUNCIL NAMES COM.
MITTEE TO GO INTO MAT
TER.OF GAS RATES
WITH THE LIGHT co.
Matter Now Held in Abeyance
Pending Arrival of Official of
the Company Expect
TO Get Action

Some weeks ago the city council in
structed its light committee composed
of Councilmen C. C. Richardson and
G.. Y. Banks to negotiate with the Co
lumbus Railway Light and Power
Company, the public utilities corpora
tion furnishing the city with electric
current and gas, with the view of sec
uring a reduction in rates.
The committee went into conference
with the local officials of the COM
pany and at the request of the COM
patty action in the matter was deferr-
ed pending the arrival of Mr.. E. j..
Lenz, superintendent of the company's
properties in Columbus and Green
vile.
It is the purpose of the light COM
mittee to go into the matter of cleo
trio and gas rates thoroughly and if
possible secure a reduction in the
rates. 1t is understood that whel the
city permitted an increase in rates
during the days of high costs of ma
terial and labor and coal and other
elements that go into the production
of gas and electric current, it was
with the understanding that these
rates would be reduced when the costs
of these elements came down.
1t is very probable that the negotia-
tions and Investigations will 60 into
an exhaustive analysis of the COM
pany's operations, the problems with
which it is confronted and the various
other phases of the question of rates
and service.
