34.CentA Averaq
Monthly Rise in
Gas Rates Asked
Approval by PUG
On Two Proposals
Sought by Company

AAAS AASAAbA2AJ Soo bA4 VI tllC
average residential consumer in
the District will be increased "a
cents q month, if the Public Utili-
ties Commission accepts two
Washington Gas Light Co. pro-
posals now before it.
A schedule Of proposed new
rates was presented for commits
sion approval yesterday, during
a PUG hearing on the gas COM
pany's request for a 7.36 per cent
rate increase. The commission
has yet to rule on both. the rate
increase petition and the sug-
gested rate schedule.
Under the schedule, the COM
pany would:
!. Effect graduated increases
ranging from 20 cents for users
OF five therms q month to S4.O7
Tor large consumers who use 600
therms q month.
2. Increase from rs cents to 81
the minimum monthly bill for all
consumers except owners of large
apartment houses.
$3.65 Average Bill.
The company estimated the
average" residential consumer
uses rs therms a month, which
would increase the bill from the
current $3.3l q month to $3.65
II the average" home owner
heats his house with gas, his heat
ing cost would increase SLOT
monthly.
The overall rate increase for
small customers" would amount
to 10 per cent. the company esti-
mated. whereas the bill paid by
the Federal Government would
decrease by l per cent.
The company explained that So
called small customers"-resi-
Dental consumers who do not use
gas as heat-would pay the larg-
est single percentage increase be-
cause higher labor and material
costs are not now divided proper
tionally. OF the company's 173,-
039 consumers. 125, 1000 are consid-
cred small"
A decrease Of $4.221 in the
yearly revenue from the Govern
ment would be effected under a
new scale that would 'level of"
the proposed increase to users Of
more than 600 therms 4 month.
The company said the approx
mately SO" Government housing
projects in the District make the
Government its largst single con-
sumer.
Separate Rate Schedules.
Under the current system, there
are separate rate schedules for
general domestic service, CONNER
cial and industrial service and
large apartment house service.
The company, under the new pro-
posal. would substitute one sched-
ule for figuring the rate to be
charged all three consumer
groups.
The PUG will meet tomorrow to
hear oral summations by attor-
neys for the gas company and
the two groups opposing the in
crease.
At that time, the commission is
expected to name q date when
opponents Of the increase and the
commission staff may question Of
ficials concerning the proposed
schedule.
The commission has not In
dicated when It will rule on the
company's request.
