BOARD WILL GIVE
GAS MERGER 0. K.
Utilities Unit Will Require
Amendment of Act Now
in Congress.

Merger Of the Washington g.
Georgetown Gas Light Cos. will be
favored by the Public Utilities Com
mission, with some amendments to
the bill now before Congress, it was
decided yesterday after conference
between commission members and
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Pretty
man.
A merger bill, urged by the COM
panies, had been sent to the commits
sion for report. It must be sent to the
Budget Bureau to determine if the
legislation Is in accord with the policies
of the President.
A public hearing on the measure
Is to be held at 1890 tomorrow before
the Public Utilities subcommittee of
the House District Committee, headed
by Representative Randolph Carpen-
ter of Kansas. Spokesman for the
commission are expected to appear un-
less their testimony should be delayed
by the Budget Bureau.
One of the principal reasons for the
merger is to permit the companies to
issue additional capital stock in order
to retire large sum of bonded debt.
Officials estimate some $2.500,000 in
bonds and loans must be retired within
the year.
The commission is expected to sug-,
gest some changes in wording of the
bill, for instance, to require that ad-
ditional stock issues must meet with
approval of the commission and that
the stock be voted by the majority of
the stockholders rather than merely
by company directors.

COAL ACT RULING
BY M'CARL PAVES
WAYF0R EVASION
MiddIemen Held Outside
: Provision on Bituminous
Purchases.
CODE REFERENCE ONLY
APPLIES TO PRODUCERS
Decision Interprets Section 14(b)
Of Guffey Act for Secretary
of Commerce.
BY ], A, FOX.

In ruling that may pave the way
for widespread evasion of the Guffey
coal act Controller General McCarl
has decided that holders of Govern
ment contracts may buy bituminous
coal that is not produced under code.
The ruling, to the Secretary Of
Commerce, was made public yester-
day. In it the controller general
said that the provision OF the law
by which purchases from producers
must be confined to those operating
under the code, is not applicable to
purchases from middlemen.
This apparently is directly in con-
fiict with the Interpretation previously
placed on the act by the Bituminous
Coal Commission, but there was no
comment available from that source
yesterday as to what the ultimate
effect of the decision might be-.
The decision was rendered In an
Interpretation of section IA (b) of the
Guffey act, which prescribes that
each contract made by the United
States or any department or agency
thereof with a contractor for any
public work or service. shall contain
a provision that the contractor will
buy no bituminous coal to use on or
in the carrying out Of such contract
from any producer except such pro-
ducer be a member of the code -
Requirement Of Section.
In his ruling, McCarl said:
THE requirement of section l4(o)
is only for a provision to the erect
that the contractor for any public
work, or service, will buy no bitumi-
nous coal for use on or in the carry
ing out of his contract from an pro-
ducer except q code member. Accord
ingly, such provision would not pre-
clude purchases of bituminous coal
by the contractor from a dealer, that
is, a bona fide broker, jobber, COM
mission merchant, wholesaler or re-
taller, as distinguished from pro-
ducer or producers agent or subsidi-
ary, marketing agency of producers
Gas provided for under the law or
other Intermediary or instumentality
of a producer. In the case Of such
purchases by contractors from dealers,
it will not be necessary for the Gov
ernment to require that the coal be
produced by a member of the code"
Concurrently. McCarl laid down a
hard and fast rule that where pur-
chases are made from produces, it
must be determined unquestionably
that they are under code.
Desire of Information.
The Commerce Secretary had point
ed out that certain power companies
furnishing current for operation of
aids to air navigation wanted to quail
ify their certification as to whether
coal producers from whom they were
buying were under code by use of the
phrase ito the best of our knowledge
and belief" ~
"There is no legal authority for
qualifying the required provision" !"
McCarl emphasized.
In the face of the two rulings, it
was obvious that there would be cases
in which contractors would get their
coal supplies from middlemen rather
than the producers in order to avoid
risk of running afoul of the law. but
how far this might 60 was entirely
speculative.

say this, but it's fair guess-there's
