son & Mcdowell, which appealed to the
commission. The commission declined
TO take jurisdiction on the ground that
II had no right TO intervene, even
though the gas company was n public
utility, because OF the contract relations
between the city and the company.
Now, however, the commission has set
n date for hearing the whole question.
Needless to say, representatives OF
company will be on hand In Harris
burg. For. IL Is argued by the COM
pany, IL the commission takes juris-
diction in the matter Of the laying Of
pipes, then ipse facto. il should or
might take jurisdiction in the mat
ter of q new or modified gas lease.
A decision to take jurisdiction in the
case Of the pipes, it is predicted, will
be followed by an appeal from the
company to the commission, praying for
relief from the terms of the present
lease.
That is, of course, unless Council
indicates n readiness TO solve the prob
lem. in accord with the Mayor.
Richard Weglcin, president of Coun-
ell, said he did not believe the COM
mission would take over the gas Ques.
ton. In his annual report, recently
made to Council the president de-
clared that he would get busy on the
gas question as soon as the problem of
the Frankford 81" had been solved
This latter now is speeding, more or
less toward solution.

From SIumbers in Council by

PIPE DECISION WATCHED

The biggest point at this time in
connection with the siumbering prob
lcm Of new or modified lease Of the
gas plant between the city and the
Y. G.fI. is that there is more than n
possibility the question may be lifted
out Of the realms of city and council
manic Jurisdiction and placed squarely
before the Public Service Commission.
This point was developed today in
conversation with representatives Of the
company who are. seeking better terms
for the making of gas. II indicates to
some that the company would be glad
Of n chance to take the gas situation
out Of City Hall. where it has been
somnolent, more or less, for almost two
years, and trust to the wisdom of the
Public Service Commission. .,
Emphasis was lent to this view when
II was learned that company officials
will watch closely the decision Of the
commission in dealing. on January so.
with what might be called by product
of the gas problem.
On that date the commission will
hear representatives OF the Philadelphia
Operative Builders Association. who
are petitioning for the return of ap-
proximately 800. 900, which the com
pany has collected from builders for the
laying of gas pipes inside property
lines.
Up to the time of the war the COM
pany made no charge for this service.
With the coming of high costs for labor
and materials, the company began about
two years ago TO charge for the laying
Of pipes--the charge beginning with
the property line. In the beginning the
cost was attacked by one firm. Fergu-

Conferecs on the Mapp prohibit
