Asks Limit on
Heat Service
Seeks Ban Effective
Month Eorlier Than
Order byW. P. B.

Fear that Washington's mush-
rooming population would place an
impossible demand on its service by
next winter unless space-heating
requests are rigidly controlled was
voiced today by oficials Of the
Washington Gas Light Co. at .
hearing before the District Public
Utilities Commission.
The War Production Board yes
terday announced q ban on ex-
tension Of space-heating by gas to
begin March /, but the local gas
concern has petitioned the District
commission to order q similar ban
for extensions for housing or build
ings not begun as Of February !.
Opposition Develops.
An unexpected amount Of opposi-
ton developed at today's hearing
and Commission Chairman Gregory
Hankin questioned whether . Feb
ruary rule would be retroactive and
therefore improper, and whether an
order by the local commission was
necessary In view Of the order issued
by the w. p. B.
E. Barrett Prettyman, gas COM
pany counsel, argued that failure of
the local agency to issue an order
would cause uncertainty and con-
fusion and throw many appeals for
exemptions onto the Federal board
E. j. Boothby, vice president and
general manager Of the gas COM
pany. testified the maximum de-
mand for next winter, on the basis
Of conditions at the beginning of
this month. was 120, TOO 900 cubic
feet per day. and that this would
leave q margin of but 81 per cent
between plant capacity and de-
mand. This margin is closer than
we care to Co." said Mr.. Boothby.
And the company connot take the
responsibility Of reducing that mar
gin" He argued that II his COM
pany had to depend on the March
Federal rule 1t was possible many
builders would rush the beginning
Of construction 50 as to get under
the line.
Huge Demand Cited.
Discussing prospects that 10000
housing units may be erected In
the District this year to help care
for the predicted increase Of 250. 900
In population. Mr.. Boothby said the
domestic gas service demand for
these would be 4,400 900 cubic feet
per day, not counting demand for
space heating.
Opposition came from Harry g.
Wender. vice president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
who said he was speaking particu-
larly for residents of Southwest
Washington; from 6efton Darr, rep
resenting an appliance concern. and
Clarence H. Small. who is building
housing for defense workers. Mr..
Darr said the company was mott
vated by desire to avoid being put
on the spot" by people who demand
gas service and by desire to avoid
annoyance. Mr.. Wender argued
there was no reason for the District
commission to act and that If ex-
emptions were available under the
w. p. B. rule this door should be
left open.

Plan
Urged 10 Put u. 5.
On Wartime Basis
Board Of Trade Group
Also Wants Only
Temporary Housing

A four point program to put the
Federal Government Immediately on
q wartime basis by elimination of
non essential activities was pro-
posed yesterday by the Executive
Committee Of the Board Of Trade.
The Board of Directors Of the
trade body was urged by the resolu-
ton to advocate the transfer Of
workers from agencies not essential
to the war effort, providing thou
sands Of skilled workers familiar
with Government procedure for the
Army, Navy and allied departments.
Workers 50 transferred should retain
their civil service rating, according
to the proposal.
It also was suggested by the reso-
luton that the activities of non
essential agencies be curtailed, to
reduce the number Of employees
necessary, releasing workers for
transfer to Offices active with war
work.
Merging Is Recommended.
Merger of those Government
offices where there is duplication
and overlapping of expenses and
activities is another point In the
committees proposal.
The resolution further suggested
that the influx of new war workers
to Washington might be reduced by
employment by the defense agencies
of as many now unemployed District
workers as is possible.
The directors of the trade body
were urged by the resolution to take
immediate action that these steps
"be advocated and pursued to ac-
complishment."
Calling for speed in aleviathg
Washington's housing shortage, the
Executive Committee also urged the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee considering the $50, 900, 600
Lanham housing bill to amend 1t
to provide that only temporary, de-
mountable construction be au-
thorized
The housing problem is such IN
acute one, the committees resolu-
ton pointed out, that 1t is not now
feasible to take the necessary time
to erect permanent structures.
Economy Seen.
The amendment would be an
economy move, too, providing ~
many housing units as possible in
the face Of the shortage, which
continues to grow more serious, ac-
cording to the resolution.
The businessmen also urged that
the Senate committee write into the
bill exactly what prevailing wage
rates" should be paid on authorized
housing projects.
Further, the committee adopted
resolution concurring with the
Board of Trade Trafnc Com
mittee's recommendation that the
opening hour Of the Districts
schools be changed from . am. to
$50 to ease the rush hour passenger
load on buses and streetcars.
Another resolution passed by the
trade body committee urged that
Washington taxicabs be taken out
of the luxury" class 50 that legis-
lation may be provided that will
permit taxi operators to obtain
needed tires and other essential
parts.
