FEAR INCREASE
IN Gas RATES

An increase of from % to 81
per cent in the gas rates in the
District is forecast by officials of
the Public Utilities Commission
since they have received from the
Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies statistics show
ing what these utilities claim their
new values should be.
Although the commission by a.
previous valuation have figured
that the companies are worth APP!
prOximately 10000. 900 this figure
is almost doubled by unofficial in
formation on the valuation re-.
ceived yesterday.
That District officials foresee a
bitter fight to keep the gas rates
in the city from soaring is noted
in the expression of their intention
to ask Congress for an appropria
ton of $50 900, about half the sum
expended by the gas companies, to
make a fact-finding survey and
obtain expert testimony.
