SENATE GIVEN
NEW Gas BILL
Times staff Photo.

A substitute for the gas merger
bill. which Senator Howell (R),
Nebraska. has blocked In the
Senate and which has been in
definitely postponed by the House
District committee, was offered
late yesterday by the Nebraska
Senator He asserted he believed
it more In the interest Of the
consumer than the merger bill,
which would permit the Wash
ington and Georgetown gas light
companies to amalgamate.
The Howell bill would estab-
lish minimum rates and authorize
the Public Utilities Commission
to revise rates If circumstances
justified. The so cents month
service charge proposed by the
gas company would be made to
apply toward the gas bill Of the
consumer and the Howell bill
would also forbid the issuance
OF common stock by the merged
companies.
There Is doubt that either the
Howell bin or the merger bill
can be passed in the remaining
days of this session.
The Howell measure proposes
q schedule Of minimum rates,
after Omitting several sections Of
the original merger bill as fol-
lows:
For the first 2,5O0 cubic feet
per meter per month, IS cents
per 1000 cubic feet net rate, or
IS cents gross; for all over $500
cubic feet IS cents per. i 900
feet net. Or SIS cents gross; min
iTnuIn charge per month SO
cents net or 10 cents gross. The
difference between the gross
and net rates as above stated
shall be the discount for prompt
payment If bills are paid within
the discount period. "
