washington Gas Light Co. will
require between Sc million and 81
million Of new money financing to
meet construction needs in 1852,
President Everett ]. Boothby eSti-
mated today in connection with
issuance of the company's annual
report to stockholders.
"The type of securities to be Of
fered and the time of sale have
not yet been determined" Mr..
Boothby stated in the report, but
1t was learned that the financing
viii take place in the late spring
or early fall, depending on market
conditions.
The company plans to spend
$9.4 million for 1852 construction,
but some money remains from
$11, 100000 Of financing in 1851.
Construction in 1851 required
more than $40 million.
Mr.. Boothby told stockhol olders:
Higher prices for everything we
buy, and particularly the In
creased wholesale price of natural
gas, now make q higher level Of
consumer rates an urgent neces-
sity." The Public Utilities Com
mission is considering a company
plea for higher rates.
