DEMAND" GAS
RATE TO Be AIRED
Hearing on Maximum Use
Charge to Begin on
April Is.

A wordy battle over the demand
or maximum use charge made by the
gas companies to house heating and
commercial customers is expected to
develop at the public hearing be-
ginning April IS before the Public
Utilities Commission on gas rates.
A number of citizens associations
are insisting on elimination Of this
charge, arguing it is unwarranted.
On the other hand, some engineers
claim misunderstanding is the basis
of the complaints against the system.
Some experts following the mat
ter declare the rates of the small con-
sumner might have to be increased If
the demand charges were eliminated
Decline to Pass Judgment.
Commission officials decline to pass
Judgment on the point prior TO the
hearing, but one stated yesterday the
demand charge is not to be regarded
as an extra charge made by the gas
companies over and above rates, but
rather as part of the approved
charges levied for certain types OF
service.
The housekeeper using gas only for
cooking is not involved in the matter.
Present rates for house heating are
divided into two parts, one being the
demand" charge and the other a
rate for gas consumption. The de-
mand charge is at the rate Of 81 per
100 cubic feet of demand and so
cents per 1000 cubic feet for con-
sumption. Both are subject to the
present temporary 8.5 per cent dis
count.
Claim Rate More Equitable.
Gas engineers claim this so-callec
two-part rate is more equitable than
a flat-rate system. under whIn the
small user might be required to carry
a greater burden of the whole cost
of the gas service Some cities have
a four or five part rate system.
Experts engaged some years ago by
the National Association of Railroad
anu OIlllGy NOHlHlLSolOllclS lepOilcN
that under a straight meter rate about
one-third of the customers were
served at a loss to the company
another third at the cost of service
without assuming share of the rate
return going to the utility owners
and the remaining third of necessity
bore the costs properly charged tt
the other two.
Commission staff workers antici-
pate there will be big reduction in
gas rates as a result of the commission
finding that the value of the two gas
concerns for rate making purposes
is SIG. .e93 900. or some S13000,0O0 less
than the claim originally made by the
companies.

trict Supreme Court yesterday by
Mrs. Helen V. Villapiano of Asbury
Park, N. J., divorced wife of Albert J
Sardo, who was killed February q

street northeast, by his grandfather
William H. Sardo, Chevy Chase, Md,
and his two uncles. William H. Sardo
jr, and Joseph E. Sardo. both Of
Washington.
Married in 1928.
Her petition asserts she married
Sardo here in August, 1925, and that
they were divorced in Reno on No
vember 13, 1888. At that time, she
says, she agreed the father could
have custody of the child, reserving
the right to visit him.
She contends that since the death
of the father she is entitled to have
the child as against the other rela-
tives. Justice F. Dickinson Let's set
April 3 as a date for hearing the
case.
Child Hurt in Accident.
Sardo has been associated with his
father and brothers in the undertak-
ing business bearing their name. Al
the time of his death he was driving
with two police officers to join Supt
of Police Ernest w. Brown in New
Orleans, where the latter had gone
on a honeymoon. The child received
