Ruling OF State Commission In
Americus Case Expected
This Month

ATLANTA, April 13.-The state
railroad commission, in accordance
with it's announcement in each gas
rate increase when made, some weeks
ago issued rules nisi to all gas COM
panies in Georgia calling on them
to show why their present rates
should not be revised with the evil
dent purpose in mind to reduce the
present rates if conditions should be
found such as to justify such action.
Following a series of hearing thus
Indicated, the railroad commission
abs handed down decisions in the Sa-
vannah and Valdosta cases granting a
reduction of 15c per 1000 feet in
each case. The old net rate at Sa-
vannah was $1.60 and at Valdosta
$1.90. The Commission during the
past three months has reduced rates
for several utilities.
Decisions in the other cases now
before the commission, including
that of Americus, on which a hearing
has already been had, will very like
ly be handed down during the present
month so that whatever change in
rates may be made, if any, will .be-
come effective on May l.
