Gas Rate Debated.

The District Public Utilities Commission
and the Maryland Public Service Commits
sion will cooperate with view to revising
gas rates in Montgomery county, it was
announced last week by John W. Childress,
chairman Of the District Commission. fol-
lowing conference with members of the
Maryland Commission.
The conference was occasioned by the
imminent revaluation by the District Com
mission of the physical properties Of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light
Company. which sells gas in Montgomery
county through subsidiaries
The rates In Montgomery county. it is
said, are higher than those in the District,
although in some cases consumers In
Maryland and the District are served by
the same main.
The District Commission has never I'M
dertaken to regulate the Maryland rate
because the gas is delivered outside its
jurisdiction. The Maryland Commission
has not regulated it because the gas oriei,
mates in the District. The gas. therefore
has been held to be interstate commerce.
but the Interstate Commerce Commission
does not regulate it because it has not
been authorized to do so by Congress.
The possibilities Of regulation by some
agency were discussed at the conference
and the consensus seemed to be that il
the two commissions cooperate in the i'm
pending evaluation Of the companies and
thus place themselves in possession Of
data with which to work they might neso-
tiate with the companies to obtain through
Cancellation a lower rate for Montgo
county consumers.
The District Commission is planning to
60 TO Baltimore soon to confer further with
the Maryland Commission with respect tc
the gas rates.
