GUT IN GAS.RATE
EXPECTED
SOON
Utilities Commission Likely to
Order Reduction, But Court
Fight Seems Certain.

A drop in gas rates is expected to
be ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission within the next few
weeks.
Attorneys for the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies
spent four hours yesterday in pre-
senting arguments against a gas
price cut They asked and were
granted permission to file a brief
within. ten days presenting further
arguments.
The commission, it is understood,
- satisfied that the earnings of the
gas companies are too high and that
q cut in rates should be made. It
has been more than a year since
charges of this company have been
adjusted.
There was an indication at the
hearing yesterday that court action
would follow any order Of the COM
mission decreasing rates. The COM
pany, il is said, sInay go into court
and contend that the reduced rate
was unfair and unreasonable mas
much as the gas company valuation
case, which would have an impor-
tant bearing on the question OF
rates, was still unsettled in the
courts.
