RICHMOND. Va, February -. -
Action OF the senate finance com
mittee in favorab1y reporting the
White bill. increasing the rate Of
taxation on the public service COM
panies of the state, was a surprise
to the representatives Of the utili-
ties. The matter was argued at
length before the committee and the
belief expressed that several times
the revenue that is expected from
the White bill would accrue to the
state by reason OF the normal in
creases in business as indicated for
the last few months and which is
coming to the companies at this
time. This increase was estima ed
as perhaps per cent more than the
White bill made possible.
Representatives of the companies
could not make any guarantee of the
increase, however, and the matter
was taken up by the committee in
executive session, where the vote
posed by the White bill. The bill
was on the senate calendar today
and is expected to be reached before
the end of the week.
