GOOD THINGS In STORE
FOR FLAGSTAFF TALKED
OF AT ROTARY TUESDAY

Improvements that Flagstaff needs,
the proposition for new hotel here

tural products we're the topics of the
three talks at Tuesdays Rotary meet

program having been arranged by
Burt Cameron, chairman for the day.

citation from those who heard it, will

cooperative marketing among growers
The Coconino sun., 1926-04-02

and what it has accomplished and
what still is lacking, ana gave q lot
of information of general interest.
The United States has only four per
cent of the farmers Of the world, Mr..
/ Henness said, though we produce SO
per cent or more of many Of the lead
| ing farm commodities. Cooperative
marketing, however, is not as far adj
vanced in this country as in some
others, notably Denmark, where near
! ly all of the farmers and dairymen
market that way. Cooperative mar
keting when properly conducted means
better prices and better products.
That something of that sort is need
ed to solve the problems Of the farm
ers of this country is evidenced in the
fact that in 1925 the average net
profit of the farmers was only three
and three-fifths per cent.

GAS RATE INCREASE

An increase in gas rates may come
next year despite the action of the

part of the Washington Gas Light
Co.. which the commission thought
would pave the way to bring 1t about.

edge or approval Of the commission.

rate about a month ago from 8 to
II cents per 1000 cubic feet of gas
sold This higher depreciation rate.
it was pointed out, would have added
to the operating expenses of the
company and also provided it with
a sound argument for an increase in
gas rates. The commission, how
ever, held that the company did not
have the authority to arbitrarily
raise it's rate of depreciation and
declined to allow it until a thorough
investigation is made to determine
that an increase is justified.
The commission, 1t was indicated
believes that the company is en-
titled to a higher depreciation rate
than cents. If an increase Is al
lowed later higher gas rates prob
ably will follow.
Officials of the commission re-
called that the present rate Of 8
cents was granted in March. 1920.
At that time the company asked for
a rate of II cents, but this was held
to be excessive.
