Gas Light Company
Considers Appeal
In Heat Ruling
Hunkin's Vote Denies
= February l Deodiine
On installations =

Ofhcials of the Washington Gas
Light Co. todav were contemplating
an appeal for reconsideration of an
informal ruling by the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission denying the
company petition for q ban dated
February l against extension of gas
heating service.
Company officials had hoped to
advance the date to February from
the March l date fixed in the ma
tional rule already promulgated by
the War Production Board, arguing
that many housing units and other
buildings might be rushed into being
before the latter date, to get under
the Federal deadline.
Yesterdays hearing by the COM
mission was conducted by Chairman
Gregory Hankin. He announced he
would vote against the company pc
tition, and since Affirmative action
was required for approval of the
company petition, his announcement
was tantamount to a denial by the
two encumbent p. U. c. commits
sioners.
Fears for Safety Margin.
E. j. Boothby, company vice presi-
dent and general manager, previ-
ously had testified that unless space
heating service extensions were
banned the demands on the COM
pany next Winter might exceed the
company's capacity, due to priorities
and the like He said the margin
of safety between maximum de-
mands and company capacity next
winter already was reduced to 81
per cent, adding that "this is smaller
than we care to CO."
Later, as Chairman Hankin indi-
Gated his adverse vote, E. Barrett
Prettyman, company counsel, warn
ed the commission that it and not
the company would have to take the
responsibility for any further reduc-
ton in this margin.
Civil Group Protests.
Spokesman for a citizens group
and two commercial concerns were
among those who opposed the COM
pany's petition. 1t was stated the
company's calculations as to maxi
mum demands next winter were
based on temperatures around S
degrees above zero. Mr.. Hankin
argued that the District had expert
enced such low temperatures but
once in % years.
Mr.. Prettyman argued that the
only ones who could suffer hardship
through adoption of the company
petition were individuals with equip
ment to sell, whereas IF we have
cold weather next winter it may be
necessary to cut off the gas supply
in some sections of the city"
