Washington Gas
Stock Sale Meets
Lively Demands
Offering Of 362, ,588
Shores Made Today
By Big Syndicate

Lively demand for the Washing
ton Gas Light common stock, placed
on sale today at s29.50 a share, was
reported in the financial district
this noon.
The syndicate headed by First
Boston Corp. and Glore, Forgan 81
Co., 362,588 shares OF gas common
were offered publicly here and all
over the country. There were 20
underwriters in syndicate, including
the following seven firms in WASH
ington:
Auchincloss, Parker g. Redpa tn;
Y. E. Booker & Co.; Folger, Nolan
IL Co., Inc; Johnston, Lemon &
Co., Inc; Alexander Brown g. Sons;
Brown, Goodwin & Olds; Robert c.
Jones & Co., Inc, and William w
Mackall, jr.
Other dealers outside the syndi-
cate were also handling the stock
for their clients. The offering is
one OF the largest of a public utility
operating company to be made in
the last six years. The company is
one OF the six oldest gas concerns in
the United States, having been en-
gagged in business for more than 80
years and paid dividends on the
common stock for over 70 years.
The shares now offered do not
constitute additional capital hnanc-
ing by Washington Gas Light Co.,
which will not receive any of the
proceeds. The shares are TO be
purchased by the underwriters from
Washington e. Suburban Cos. and
constitute 1881 per cent of the out
standing common stock of Wash
ington Gas Light Co.
In case the entire 1862 ,588 shares
now offered are sold, Washington
Gas Light Co. will cease to be a
subsidiary Of Washington g. Subur-
ban Cos. This offering represents
step in the plan of Investment of
control of subsidiaries of Washing
ton d Suburban Cos. which was
filed last January under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act OF
! 1895.
The company's outstanding capital
structure. after giving effect to the
proposed acquisition of two subsid
iaries, will include $17.4l9. 500 of
funded debt, $500 shares of s4.5G
