Utilities Commission Will
Take Up New Sliding
Scale Plan.
COMPANIES ARE SEEKING
INCREtSE TO 10 INCHES
Petition Will Be Considered in
Connection With Proposed
Revision Of Schedule.

Gas rates would go down in proper
ton to increase of presSureS in eXcegs
OF prescribed limitations under new
pan ID be considered by the Punbl.c
Utilities Commission in connection
with the recent petition Of the Wash
ington and Georgetown Gas Co.'S for
authority to increase preSsures 10
l0-inch maximum and a 3-inch mini
mum. Existing rules permit 6-inch
maximum and a pinch minimum, a.
though the commission in January au-
thorized a temporary 8-inch maximum
to meet an increased demand for gas
for house heating purposes.
The plan contemplates the adoption
of sliding scale of rates which would
inure to the benefit of consumers when
the commissions pressure rules are vio-
lated. Rates would be charged accord
ing to the degree of pressure main
tanned.
Would Fix Basic Rate.
Under this plan the commission would
fix a basic rate, which would be ef-
fectiye as long as prCssureS renamed
within the allowed range. II pressures
exceed the maximum limitation, rates
would automatically decrease in proper
ton TO the excess.
For instance if 90 cents was fixed
as the basic rate this would apply only
as long as pressuros remained within
the range prescribed by the commission.
If plessures went up inches in eN-
CESS OF the maximum limitation, the
rate would drop TO IS cents, etc. Thus,
the bills Of consul crs would go down
instead of up under higher pressures.
as was the case last Win er when the
commission blamed excessive pressures
for the food of complaints over high
gas bills.
Hearing to Be Called.
The petition OF the companies for
an authorized l1-irch maximum and a
3-inch minimum pressure IS TO be for
mallv considered by the commission at
a public hearing to b. called in the
near future At this time action also
/ will be taken On rev schedule OF PAS
rates prcposoa by the gas companies for
lar5e industrial and commercial con-
sumers.
IRE new rate schedule. TO be known
as d" would be available to any Gus
toner VINO guarantee to use not less
than 100000 cubic feet of gas a month.
Gas, under this schedule. would be
sold at 90 cents net for the first 100000
cubic feet. 80 cents net for the next
100000 cubic feet and rs cents net for
all gas consumed in excess OF 600, 900
cubic feet.
This proposed schedule differs from
the existing comme~ ial and industrial
schedule in that it would eliminate the
charge of s1.2O net for the first 500
cubic feet per month per 100 cubic
| feet of the maximum hourly rate. 1t
