THE UTILITIES COMMISSION
STANDS BY GAS COMPANY

The Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio has at last spoken on the
gas matter of the two towns, that
has been before the commission al
most three years, and has ruled
that the present price the gas COM
pany is charging for gas is fair and
just 1t will be recalled that the
villages of McConnelsville and NAL
ia passed ordinances in July, 1927,
fixing the price at 45c per one
thousand cubic feet. The gas com
pany took the matter to the public
utilities commission where it has
since been under consideration.
The commissions finding follows:
THAT the rate and charge fixed and
prescribed by said ordinance to-wit
45c per one thousand cubic feet.
subject to discount of three cents
per one thousand cubic feet, are
unjust and unreasonable, and should
not be ratified and confirmed and
that just and reasonable rates ana
charges should be submitted there
for That the rate and charge of
soc per one thousand cubic feet,
with discount for prompt payment,
of four cents per one thousand Gu
bic feet, and a monthly minimum
charge of soc, which have been
maintained, imposed and collected
by the appellant. under bond duly
given, during the pendency of this
proceeding, are just and reasonable
rates and charge for the natural gas
service furnished and to be furnish
ed by the appellant in said village,
and that the net and gross revenue
of said The Malta and McConnels-
Vile Gas Company from the fur
nishing of natural gas for public
and private consumers in the village
of McConnelsville, and the rates
prices and charges herein found by
the commission to be just and rea-
sonable, will be sufficient to yield
said The Malta and McConnelsville
Gas Co., reasonable compensation
for such service"
The commission orders that the
rates and charges hereinbefore
found and determined by this COM
mission to be just and reasonable,
are hereby substituted for the rates
and charges of said ordinance which
the commission has found to be un-
just and unreasonable.

the Tribe training camp and it is
evident these ball tossers are deter
mined to prove they are entitled to
the positions given them.
Koenecke Improves
Koenecke is looking EN- over In
far better style than last spring
and doubtless has learned some i'm
portant pointers. from Manager Cor
riden. He stole the only base of
the afternoon Sunday and the home
run he blasted could be heard Whis-
thing as it streaked to distant parts.
Hoffman's triple was to deep left
where there is no fence Otherwise
it would have gone over, for it was a
sock that went high and far He
also got a single and walked once,
as well as covering centerfield with
SWiftneSS.
Jonnard pitched four innings,
Burwell three and Lefty Hall fin
ished in encouraging style for a
youngSter. Low throws by Howard
Freigau, new Tribe third baseman,
damaged both Jonnard and Burwell,
but the wild heaves probably were
the result of lame arm caused by
too much hustling on Saturday, the
first day he reported.
Connolly Hits Double
Acting on the theory that compe-
tition is the life of trade, Manager
Corridor withdrew Freigau in the
eighth and assigned Bud Connolly
to third base, and the little fellow
won the ball game with a glittering
double that scored Koenecke and
Hoffman.
He drove the sphere to deep left
center as a challenge to the club
bosses that the purchase of Freigau
by no means has eliminated him as
a candidate for the hot corner.
