ORDER REDUCES
 SELMA GAS RATES
Company May Charge $1.20 Per Thousand
 Cubic Feet
(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 2S.-A new schedule of gas rates to be applied by the Alabama Power company at Selma was ordered by the Alabama pub lie service commission today, the order providing for service charge of $1.75 per month and consumption charge of $1.20 net per thousand cubic feet of gas. The commission denied the petition of the Alabama Power company, which was seeking authority to apply "de- livery charge" considerably higher than the service charge prescribed by the com mission, and also a higher consumption charge than that provided for in the order.
 / The scheduled ordered by the commits sion, effective on and after the regular December, 1924, meter reading date, pro- vides for a service charge of $1.75 per month for the first 30 cubic feet of maximum hourly demand plus $1 per month for each additional 50 cubic feet or fraction thereof of maximum hourly demand, plus a consumption charge of 13 cents per 100 cubic feet of gas con sumed per month. Provision was made for a discount of cent per 100 cubic feet of gas consumed, provided the bill is paid in full within 10 days from date of bill, making tie net consumption charge $1.20 per 1000 feet.
 It was stated that the schedule pro- vided will effect a, slight reduction in the gross revenues of tLe. company of from $2O0 to $500 per annum.
 An investigation of the Alabama Pow CT company's- gas operations at Selma by the engineer department of the com mission showed that for the year end- ing May 31, 1924, net earnings of the Selma gas property amounted to ST. 22041.
 Witnesses for the company testified that the probable value of the Selma gas property is in excess of $200,000.
