in the pending application OF the
Washington Gas Light Co. for rate
increases under the sliding scale

Commission would not predict.
pending legal opinions on the deci-
sion. whether it would apply to this
case, which involves application of
a rate plan in effect since 1895. But
the FPC ruling admittedly might be
construed as curbing all utility rates

The Power Commission ruled out
war taxes as basis Of increased
consumer rates in an order to the
Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co. The

Tax burdens resulting from thu

borne by the utility which enjoys a

who have no such advantage"
so that there may be no con-
fusion concerning the tax situation
In connection with the companies
subject to our jurisdiction, where
necessary to stabilize utility rates at
reasonable levels during the war
emergency period. we propose to al
low as proper operating expenses
only such taxes as may be termed
ordinary or normal" the decision
said.
The FPC said that to pass emer-
gency taxes on to the consumer
would amount to a sales tax.
The doctrine of unjust enrich

conscience" 1t added, compel the
cci1clusion that utility should not
be permitted to thwart the purpose
