Gas Rate Rise
0fS.S% Sought
In District Area
Company Proposes
Minimum Monthly
Charge of $3.50
By JAMES g. DEANE

The Washington Gas Light
Co. today asked the District
Public Utilities Commission for
an S.S per cent increase in gas
rates.
The company said it planned
10 file identical applications to-
day with the Virginia State
Corporation Commission and
the Maryland Public Service
Commission.
The proposed area-wide rate
increase. the company said,
would lift the average bill Of
customer not using gas heat by
81 cents q month. and the
average bill of gaS-heat users
by $l.3l month.
Besides the general increase.
the company asked permission
TO raise minimum monthly
charges from 81 to $3.50.
Higher Operating Costs
Everett J. Boothby. company
president. said the rate request
was neceSSitated by q steady
rise In operating costs. The in
crease is needed. he explained,
TO enable the company to main
tain adequate service and to
attract needed investment cap
ital for expansion to supply sew
customers.
The proposed increase would
bring in about $4.3 million an
nually and would net the COM
pany. after taxes. about 50 mil
lion. This would be enough. on
the basis OF present costs. for
a seven per cent annual return
on the company'S rate base.
Mr.. Boothby said such a return
would be mot unreasonable"
when considered in relation to
the company's cost situation
and earnings expectations.
The company's rate Of return
for the IL months ended last
June was slightly over five per
cent.
Last Rate Boost in 1888
The last basic gas rate in
crease was in 1858. That
amounted to ~ per cent in
the District and 10 per cent in
Maryland. Virginia rates were
adjusted slightly in 1854 when
they were made uniform with
those in the other two area
jurisdictions.
Previous increases in the last
81 years were a rs per cent
District rise in 1912 and an IL
per cent increase. also In the
District. in 1852.
The 1852 and 1853 increases
we're tied to cost rises for
natural gas. This factor is
not involved in the new request
since gas rates now are auto
matically adjusted according to
changes in prices paid by the
company for natural gas.
There have been several such
adjustments since this proce-
dure was established. They
have resulted in an average net
increase Of 10 cents per month
for the non-heating customer.
and about 80 cents a month for
the gas-heating customer. ac-
cording to company officials.
But since these adjustments
merely pass along to the Gus
toner the increase or decrease
in the wholesale natural gas
price. the company regards
them as different from a basic
rate.
InfiatiOnary PresSures
Mr.. Boothby blamed general
initiation for the company's in
creased cost burden. apart from
the cost Of natural gas. Since
1852. he noted. the company's
average basic wage rates have
risen Is per cent. Fringe bene-

Former Tenant BorroWs Money To
Get Started; Now Crossing $4,000
"A Year Off Hogs And Cattle

A former tenant farmer, who had
to borrow the money to make the
down-payment on a farm of his
own, is now crossing more than
$4,000 year raising hogs and beef
cattle, reports H. w. Williamson,
assistant state agent of the Ten
nessee Extension Service.
The farmer is Albert Gray of
the Nashville area who some years
sells as many as 800 hogs raised
mostly on cooked garbage, and Is
to 20 calves and few steers raised
in his pastures of orchard grass,
fescue, lespedeza, and ladino clover
which his county agent, Arthur
Brown, helped him to develop.
Three years ago, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gray and their four children were
selected the first place family in
their county's Better Living Con-
test. Over a seven-year period,
they had converted q rundown,
eroded farm and shabby dwelling
= into a modern farm with the home
renovated and the gullies terraced
and seeded to grasses.
d Mr.. Williamson says their home
is now an attractive six-room
ranchhouse with knotty-pine pam
eled office and den, bathroom with
hot and cold running water, and
kitchen with a cleaning white cleo
rtric range. And throughout the
house, the furniture has been re-
finished and reupholstered. Mr..
Williamson points out that the
Grays did all of the work them
selves, including the renovation of
their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray started buy
ing their 98-acre farm in 1947. Be-
fore that, Mr.. Gray was tenant
farmer and later an employee at

resulting in more jobs and oppor-

Madame Gautier is a member of

the Nashville garbage disposal
plant. In the latter post, he noticed
a number of farmers collecting
garbage for their hogs. 1t gave
him an idea.
"Why couldn't he buy a farm
and raise hogs on garbage like
some of the other farmers were do
ing?" he asked himself. One big
thing stood in the way-lack of
money for a down-payment.
But the more Mr.. Gray thought
of the idea, and the more he talked
it over with Mrs. Gray, the more
practical it seemed to him. Finally
one day they got out their bank
book, which showed small regular
savings totaling less than 5000, and
went to the loans department of
their bank and talked their pro-
posal over. They got favorable

back"
After weeks, the Grays found
90 ill-used acres and a ramshackle
house for sale in the Haynes Com
munity, just a few miles outside
Nashville. They saw the possibil-
tiles of making it into just the
kind of place they wanted. So
they went back to their bank and
borrowed the money to make the
down-payment.
Within a year, Mr.. Gray had
bought a truck and had a route
hauling away garbage for families
and business places that needed
the service. He carried the best
of the garbage home to his hogs,
and took the rest to the disposal
plant.
BY 1853, the Grays had paid for
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1957-02-02

their farm, remodeled their home,
bought a tractor, and another
truck, and had two hired workers
hauling garbage for them. Today,
they are providing garbage dis
posal service for eight large cafes
and 1900 families.
When vascular exanthema broke
out among garbage-fed hogs a
few years ago, and the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture recon-
mended that all garbage be cooked
before feeding it to hogs, Mr.. Gray
was one of the first farmers in
Tennessee to have a cooker built.
The disease, which has now SUBJ
sided, never struck his hogs.
Today, the Grays are placing in
creased emphasis on improving the
quality of hogs and in developing
more improved pastures. Already
they have five purebred Duroc
sows, and a year from now, they
hope to be producing 400 high
quality hogs a year.

years, total of $1,3O0,OO0, 900, to
help build public schools in "finan-

federal money would be distributed
under a complex formula taking
into account the number of school
age children in a state and the
states average income per school
age child.
2. During the first year of the
program, 1857, the federal aid
would have to be matched by out
lays from either state or local
school district funds. After the first
year, the matching funds would
have to come solely from state
funds - requirement. aimed at
states which now make little or no

3. The matching funds would be

the states income. The poorest
states would put up so cents fo1

states 81 for each 81 of federal aid
