CUT IN GAS RATES
DEPENDS ON COST
Arlington Must Await Fixing
of Sale Price by Parent
Company.
BY LSETER N. INSKEEP,
staff Correspondent OF The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, September 81
The eagerly awaited reduction in rates
of the Rosslyn Gas Co. in Arlington
County, which have been promised by
officials of the company, must await an
agreement as to the price to be charged
by the Washington Gas Light Co. to its
Arlington County subsidiary, it was
stated today by George B. Fraser, vice
president of the Washington concern.
Plans for extension of service in the
annexed portion of Alexandria which
formerly was in Arlington County we're
announced at the same time.
According to Fraser, the company will
stand by its promise to make reductions
in Arlington County which will proper
tionately equal and may exceed those
made in Washington, but it will be inn
possible to set the exact figures for
some time. First, he said, an agreement
insult be reached between the parent
company and its subsidiary, and then
the figures for the rate reduction must
be worked out and forwarded to the
State Corporation Commission of Vir-
GINA for approval
I'VE cannot promise rates equal to
those in Washington" Fraser said, but
we intend to bring them as near the
Washington rates as is possible. We are
in the business of selling gas and we
1ully EcdllDC bLldL our VUluIIG VI safes
will be greatly increased through as
large rate reduction as is possible. II
must be remembered that the rates in
Arlington County have been so per cent
higher than those in Washington, max
ing it difficult to give the same rate
across the river"
Coincident with the receipt Of char
ter from the State Corporation Com
mission for. the Alexandria Gas Co..
which also has been purchased by the
Seaboard Trust Co. of Boston, holding
company of the Washington concern
Fraser announced that the Alexandra
concern plans the immediate extension
of its service throughout the annexed
portion of Alexandria. This section Is
one and one-half times the size of the
city before the annexation proceedings
hence the proposed extensions repre-
sent quite large program.
While it is expected that the actual
operation of the Alexandria plant will
be discontinued, the gas being trans
mitted from Rosslyn to Alexandria. the
franchise under which the Alexandria
company must operate prevents its con-
solidation with the. Rosslyn Gas Co.
hence the former concern must con-
tinue to operate as separate company
even though the source of the gas be
the same. The maximum rate that can
be charged in Alexandria is $115, as
against the present rate of $150 in
Arlington County.
1t is the hope of the Alexandria con-
Germ to have the extensions finished
there within four months. This will be
possible, Fraser declared. If there is moi
too much delay in obtaining the neceS-
sary permits from the city.

ARLINGTON, Va, September 27.-In
a letter addressed to the bankers of the
State, j. Cloyd Byars, independent
Democratic candidate for the United
States Senate from Virginia. charges
Senator Carter Glass with having been
largely responsible for the present
financial depression throughout the
country.
This condition has been directly
brought about by Senator Glass and the
Federal Reserve Bank. he says, claim
ing that the stock crash of last Fall
was caused by the ''GlasS-sponsored
policy of the Federal Reserve Board in
contracting credits through the simple
method of raising the rediscount rate
in the Federal Reserve system to per
cent"
The result of this policy was. Byars
charges, that the member banks, be-
ing unable to pay this rate of interest,
could not borrow from the Federal Re-
serve banks and, therefore, could not
lend the ordinary or necessary amount
of money for the conduct of business.
