KEECH IS ASSURED.
ALL GAS RATE DATA
Peoples Counsel and Men,
bers of Commission Re-
veal Understanding.

Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel
will be given any available data re.
garding progress made in conferences
between experts of the Public Utilities
Commission and of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light companies In
connection with the new valuation OF
the gas properties, which he may seek
from the commission.
This announcement was made today
by both Mr.. Keech and members of the
commission as result of a protracted
conference held late yesterday regard
ing controversy over the point which
arose Monday.
Asked More Data.
At the Monday session, when hear
lngs on the gas company valuation case
were postponed indefinitely, to await
completion of the engineering studies
and conferences, Mr.. Keech contended
ne had not been given all data needed
in his study of the case. He said he
felt he had not been given certain
summaries and exhibits he believed the
commission and company experts must
have had In their work.
William A. Roberts, assistant corpora
ton counsel, who is Special counsel to
the commission, declared Keech had
been given as many inventories and
price schedules as were available and
other Information to the same extent
that he, Roberts, had received.
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick. chair
man, and Riley E. Elgin, vice chair
man OF the commission, also said Keech
mad been given what information he
had requested to the extent that it
was available.
What Keech sought was certain
statements of how the commission and
company engineers, in their confer
ences, reached decisions as to facts on
valuation questions. He was informed
such exhibits" had not yet been
drafted.
AS a result Of the conference yester-
day the peoples counsel was convinced
by the commission he could apply and
receive any statements of progress
being made when they become available.
Value of Check Cited.
Members of the commission pointed
out today the system of having engineers
OF the commission and the companies
affected in valuation case check their
findings together is a modern practice
which has proved its value, and which
has been employed by numerous impor-
tant commissions.
The conferees are instructed to COM
pare figures and facts and to check
their individual results, but are ordered
not to reach any decisions as to policies
OF valuation, that being left for the COM
mission after public hearings.
Commission officials today also said
the valuation case was proceeding ex-
peditiously. The inventories have price
listing of properties started last July
and were completed by January. In
February the commission ordered the
conferences be started. The inventories
and pricing work was completed by the
commission in unusually good time, Gen.
Patrick declared.

DOUBLE SALARY CUT IS GIVEN
TOBOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS
McCarl Rules Full Is Per Cent Slash Will
Be In Force In Addition to
Other Reduction.

The value of several patronage jobs
suffered severe shrinkage today under
decision by Controller General McCarl,
who ruled that the full force of the Is
per cent cut should apply despite the
fact that the pay had already been
slashed.
The question was raised by the Secre-
tary of State in regard to the Interna.
tional Joint Commission which handles
canadian boundary questions. Under
the former law, the three members of
this commission had their salaries re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t was
provided, however, that the furlough
provisions and other restrictions of the
economy act should not apply.
Writing to Controller General McCarl,
the Secretary of State expressed the
view that under an Interpretation of the
new act, the Is per cent cut should not
apply, inasmuch as 1t would seem to
entail double reduction, and that it
apparently had been the intention of
Congress to provide that the relief
