Request Filed
For C,hangeoyer
70 Natural Gas
Company Seeks IA
Substitute Therm
For cubic-Foo Bosis

The Public Utilities Commission
today has before it q request Of
the washington Gas Light Co, de-
signed to pave the way for CONVEX
sion OF all District consumer in
stallations to use Of pure natural
gas.
The application was fled by the
company yesterday and sought per-
mission for two preliminary steps.
These were to change the heating
value Of the gas it distributes and
to adopt therm rates.
Pure natural gas has an average
heating content Of 1,l0O British
thermal units per cubic foot, the
company explained. Commission
rules now provide that gas sold In
the District shall have q heating
content Of not less than 600 BTU's,
which Is the heating value Of the
present mixed gas now distributed.
Gas now sold Is manufactured and
enriched by some natural gas.
In the case Of rates, the company
wants to establish its schedules on
q therm basis rather than continue
the present cubic foot basis.
A similar change to therm rate
billing was made last summer in
nearby Maryland, where most Of
the installations are now converted,
and in Virginia, where the change
has been completed, 1t was ex-
planned.
Expense Of the changeover viii be
borne by the company, the commits
sion was told, and no change in
the cost OF service to consumers
Is contemplated.
