The Arizona State Corporation
Commission will be asked to make
an investigation of charges being
made Nogales consumers of gas.
lights and power by the Public Util-
tiles Consolidated Corporation. it
was learned yesterday.
This, it seems, will be the out
growth of the meeting held We'd
nesday afternoon when about 40
business men and citizens met at
the Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting was a direct result
of many persons on the first of this
month receiving greatly increased
gas and light bills, in numerous in
stances, it was said, the December
/ bills having increased from so to
100 per cent over the previous
month.
c. E. Wibel local manager of the
Public Utilities Consolidated Corp
Grafton, was present at Wednesdays
meeting and said that most of the
meters for the December l billing
covered a period of from four to
seven days more than did the No
vember l billing, as a result of a
change in the billing period being
made recently.
A committee consisting Of A. F.
Nogales international., 1930-12-05
COMMISSION TO Be ASKED TO
PROBE GAS, LIGHT CHARGES

Kerr, w. N. Pickett and A. j. Nit
chell was appointed at the meeting
to make an appraisal of the pro-
perty of the utilities company. 1t is
understood that this committee,
which is to report shortly, will re-
commend that the corporation COM
mission make an investigation.
Mr.. Wibel, manager of the utili-
ties company, said last evening that
the meters in use in Nogales are
the same as those used in general
throughout the country and that
they are. known far and wide as
being accurate. "If any meter does
MT work properly, I would like to
know about it,, he said.
He attributes the increased bills
the first of the month largely to
more days than usual being in
cluded in the meter readings Gas a
result of a change in the date for
meter reading). The bills mailed
hereafter on the first of each month
will be for just 80 or 81 days. Other
reasons for higher bills, he said, are
that more electricity is used for
lights since the nights are longer
and the days shorter, and more
gas has been used since the cold
weather began in November.

So-called progressive Democrats
will control the next state legisla-
ture if the combination of Pima,
Maricopa and Pinal county votes
which are reputed already formed
into a combination, holds. Six OF
Pima county's eight votes have gone
into the total of 33 votes which have
been grouped together in building
up the necessary 80 needed. There
are 63 votes in the lower house.
1t means that the honor of being
elected speaker of the house lies
between Thomas Maloney, OF Pima
county; Harry Valentine, OF Pinal
county, Or J. L. Jennings, or Mari
copa county. If the combination
holds, as it is reported it will, all
three will be important figures in
the organization of the new legisla-
ture.
Nj. Maloney. enterprising member
of the newly elected Pima delega-
ton, with the support of six of
Pima's eight votes, is reported to
have been instrumental in building
up controlling combination far in
advance of the meeting of the leg
islators. He has but recently re-
turned from a trip to Pinal and
Maricopa counties. where he met
