GAS IN JERSEY CUT
FROM $40 TO S1.26
Public Utility Commission
Fixes Base Rate for Most
Of State.
APPRAISALS BEING MADE
Consumers Using More Than
10000 Feet a Month Also
Will Benefit.

TRENTON, March 4.-Reduction in the
base rate of the Public Service Gas
Company from $1.40 to s125 per thou
sand cubic feet was announced to-day
by the Public Utility Commission. The
company serves consumers in Northern
and Central New Jersey and in part OF
Southern New Jersey. The base rate
is applicable to the first 10000 cubic
feet of gas used by the consumer during
the month.
Newark and Jersey City and the
counties of Hudson, Bergen and Essex
had attempted to have themselves segre-
gated from the rest of the territory
served by the company and provided
with a special rate. but the commission
decided that the rate should be contin-
ued as .company-wide" until such time
as it is possible to obtain appraisals OF
the properties of the company in it's
several divisions.
Lower rates on a graded scale are
provided for industries which consume
larger quantities of gas. The minimum
rate under this classification is ninety
cents per thousand cubic feet for con-
sumers using in excess of 100000 cubic
feet of gas month. The new rate Will
become effective March rs.
The decision of the commission was
reached after an investigation which
was started whom several municipalities
in the northern part of the State made
application for reduction Of the base
rate to $1.10.e The answer OF the gas
company was that even a rate OF Sl.35
would barely enable it to earn per
cent for dividends on its stock, leaving
it without any surplus whatever.
The contention of the gas company
that it should be allowed not only fair
return on the value of it's property but
a revenue that would enable it to pay its
fixed charges and per cent. on its capi-
tai stock besides was not shared by the
commission.
The commission pointed out that in
the Passaic gas case, a court decision OF
which the commission took cognizance, 1t
was held that the rate of return should
be based upon the value of the property
in what was known as the Passaic d.
vision. and that nothing was said in that
decision with regard to the necessity Tor

Local Veterinarians Are
Authorized To Test Cattle

! Since May 1917, when the United
States Department of Agriculture
undertook tuberculosis eradication
work in cooperation with the States,
the demands for tests have increased
beyond all expectations and at the
present time there are more than
5000 herds on the waiting list to
be tested with a view to being finally
accredited
When it was no longer possible to
meet the increasing demands for
tests, it became necessary for the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, which
has direct charge of the work, to dis
continue testing cattle for interstate
shipment in order that it's veterinary
inspectors might give their entire
!time to testing herds waiting to be
accredited. Considering these con-
iditions, it is not difficult to see why
the bureau cannot comply with the
numerous requests from those who
desire federal inspectors sent to their
for interstate shipment.
Since the bureau has discontinue
ed making tests on farms for inter
state shipments, it should be noted
that the regulations (Regulation Z,
Bureau of Animal Industry Order
.273) provide that tests may be made
at the point of shipment by local
veterinarians who have been author
lied by the State and approved by
the bureau. While shippers are ad-
.vised to have their cattle tested at
home where theyy will be under nor
NAL conditions, it is possible to have
them tested en- route at public stock
yards or other regular bureau sta
tions by veterinary inspectors of the
bureau
The bureau officials would be glad
to comply with requests to make
tests for interstate shipments, but
