D. {. GAS FIRMS
TO REF|NANCE
WITH LOANS

Disclosing a refinancing plan for
the Washington Gas Light Com.
pany, long advocated by the Public
Utilities Commission, bankers who
are involved in ownership Of the
Washington and Suburban Com
panies, have cleared the way for
issuance of additional common
stock in the washington Gas
Company.
Representatives Of two out Of
five banks involved in the trust
ownership-A. ]. Stilwell, Of the
Continental Illinois National Bank
and Trust Company, Chicago, and
J. D. Wittemore, Of Chase Bank,
New York-yesterday informed
Commission Vice Chairman Rich
mond B. Keech, the banks had
agreed to loan the common law
trust $6,6o0, 900 to retire all out
standing bonds Of the Washington
and suburban Companies.
Destroys Covenant
Through this retirement, a cove
nant in the bond issue, which
restricts the Washington Gas
Ijpht Company from stock issues,
would be removed.
The bankers told Keech the loan
will be made with the understand
ing that it will be repaid when the
common.law trust sells the 100000
common-stock shares in the local
gas company and other Of the
company securities which it now
owns.
For some time the commission
has advocated a refinancing of
the Washington company op the
ground it is overbalanced with
bonds as against stock.
Three More Involved
Besides the New York and Chi
cago banks, the other financial
institutions involved in the owner
ship are Harris Trust and Savings
Company, of Chicago, the Public
National Bank, of New York, and
the Central Republic Trust Com
pany, of Chicago.
The Washington and Suburban
companies will apply next week to
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission for authority to borrow
the $6,60O,000 to retire the out
standing bonds. The recall will be
made as of December 81, with
February l as the deadline.
