At least one civic group; the CO.

Robert w. Cox. president. said a

Mr.. Cox said he had written
letters to heads of dairies serving
nearby Virginia urging that they
appear before the milk commits

said 1t was necessary because of

; Commissions Study
Uniform Gas Rates
For Washington Area

Pointing up the growing unifica-
tion of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area. a study Is now under
way on the possibility of establish
ing uniform gas rates in the area.
First step in the project came
yesterday when an informal con-
ference was held at the District
Building by representatives Of the
District Public Utilities Commis
sion, the Virginia State Corpora
ton Commission and the Mary
land Public Service Commission.
It was decided that stats of
the three commissions would begin
a comprehensive study Of the
question, submitting the findings
to their respective commissions
for further consideration and
joint discussions later.
Virginia Rates Highest.
At present Virginia has the
highest gas rates and Maryland
the next highest.
Gas service in this area is sup
piled by the Washington Gas
Light Co. of Maryland. Inc. and
the Rosslyn Gas Co. in Virginia,
subsidiaries of the Washington
Gas Light Co., which serves the
District.
The Washington Gas Light Co.
has an application pending to in
crease rates to District consumers
approximately 7 per cent. but ofii-
cials said this has nothing to do
with the uniformity study.
Study Is Hailed.
Howard B. Noyes of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. said the
company would be glad to CO.
operate in the study If requested
to do so, and hailed the move as
very desirable" one.
He pointed out the company is
in the unusual position Of op-
Grating in three Jurisdictions. Such
a study as the one being under
taken, he noted. must include a
survey of the financial condition
of the whole system in order to
be sure It's soundness is main
tanned.
Chairman James Flanagan of
the District PUG said the project
has been under consideration for
several years, but has been given
impetus by the recent rapid
growth Of nearby areas.
Study May Be Extended.
The uniformity study at pre-
sent is concerned only with gas
rates. Whether it might eventu-
ally extend to all other utilities
is not yet known. There already
is a close relationship between the
District and the Maryland COM
Missions on electricity rates.
Attending yesterdays confer
ence were the following:
Maryland: Commissioner Frank
