Weather, Vacations
Bring Seasonal Drop
At Some Points
BY DONALD b. HADLEY.

Summer weather and vacations
left their mark on public utility re-
ports for June, although another
impressive series of new all-tinle

month also were at their highest
June mark in the history Of the
Capital.
Gas sales and transit passengers
were among the indicators to de-
cline from the preceding month,
although they stood at new high
marks for June. Rapid development
of air-conditioning was credited
with more than offsetting seasonal
influences to bring about an in
crease In sales Of electricity over
the previous month.
Development Continues.
Continued development of the
Metropolitan Area again was en-
phasized by increases in the num-
Der Of gas meters, electric customers
and telephones over other recent
years.
Compared with the end Of June
last year there were 10,323 more gas
meters, l0,0l6 more electric Gus
toners and 24,742 more telephones.
Compared with the end of June,
1887, there were 1929 more gas
meters, 29,127 more electric Gus
