SupremeCourt
Affirns Cut
In Gas Rate
$500, 900 Collected
Since November, '49.
Will Be Refunded

The Supreme Court today re-
fused to review an appeal by the
Washington Gas Light Co. from
a lower court order that set aside
a gas rate increase in November,
1949.
Refusal to interfere in the case
means that about 100000 in
revenue collected since that time
will be refunded to customers.
The rate increase was author
lied by the District Public Utilities
Commission in November, 1949, at
the request of the gas company.
District Court Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough set aside the PUG
order and his ruling was unani-
mously upheld last December by
the United States Court of Appeals
here
Started by Private Citizen.
The case against the gas COM
pany was started by private cit
izen, Vernon v. Baker, on behalf
of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations. At first he fought the
case single-handed and ulti-
mately won victories in the Dis
trict Court and the Court of Ap-
ipeals.
The Appeals Court opinion last
December specifically ordered that
revenue collected as a result OF
the rate increase of November,
1949, be distributed among GUS
toners of the gas company. Pend
ing a final court determination.
the gas company had earmarked
those funds for possible distribu-
Ition.
The gas company as we'll as
the District Public Utilities Com
mission, which also appealed to
the Supreme Court, could ask the
Supreme Court within Is days for
reconsideration of it's refusal to-
day to review the case. Such re-
consideration. however, is seldom
given.
Company Has No Comment.
No statement could be obtained
Immediately at the gas company.
1T was explained that all officers
were attending a stockholders
meeting.
Last December 81, in 13-page,
figure studded opinion, the Court
of Appeals ordered that funds re-
sulting from the rate increase Of
November. 1949, be distributed
1among customers of the gas COM
ipany.
The totalAamount approxima tes
100000 in revenues collected
under the 1949 order of the Public
Utilities Commission. The PUG
at that time acceded to the gas
company's request for added rev.
enue by allowing an increase
which amounted to about $750, 900
annually.
| The Appeals Courts ruling on
one of the most widely discussed
District Court opinions in recent
years left the gas company's only
avenue of appeal in United States
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Baker based his attack on
the PUG order on allegations that,
in granting the rate raise, the PUG
made certain errors. His SINGLE
handed fight won national atten-
ition.
