GAS Rates WILL

Galva, Dec. 26.-Over Develop
ment of the appraisal of the valua-
tion of its property is charged
against the Consolidated Light &
Power company, In a decision just
handed down by 2he Illinois COM
merce commission, which denies the
company permission to increase gas
rates in this city. A copy of the
decision has just recently been re-
ceived here by Galvy City Attorney
Clark Ably. "The company sought
an increase in rates. said Attorney
Ably. so that it might receive a
higher rate of interest on its in
vestment, claiming that after de-
ducting the high cost of production,
fuel and operating expenses, and
the depreciation Of the value Of its
plant, the net profits being INSULT
cient to pay 1t a laving rate Of in
terest. 1t appears that the average
cost Of gas to consumers is 31,65
per thousand, a rate quite high in
comparison with those existing in
ohter similarly situated gas util-
tiles. The gas commission believes
that the present rate is about the
limit Of the value of the service, and
that TO increase the rate at this
time would result in producing
greater revenue, but would result
in further decrease in the amount
of gas consumed.
