IDIFFERENT KINDS Better Gas Furnished During the Sessions of Congress, INVESTIGATING THE LOCAL COMPANY Mr. Outhwaite’s Fruitless Attempts to Read by the Light. THE COMPANY’S FINANCES ee ee The consideration of the gas question was resumed by the House District com- mittee this morning. Representative Outh- waite, the author of the resolution of in- quiry, was present. He said he had intro- duced the resolution. During the fall he had frequently found it impossible to read and write by the light in his house and upon more than one oc- casion two burners did not remedy mat- ters. The gas company sent men to the house. They blew out the pipes, claiming that the pipes were bad. The light im- proved for one or two evenings, but soon fell down again. He calied attention once more and the man who was sent there said there was general complaint throughout that section. “After 1 introduced this resolution,” said Mr. Outhwaite, “the light in the neighbor- hood seemed to improve and several people commented upon the fact that they were getting better light since Congress had started to investigate the gas company. “I have only this suggestion to make,” he continued, “that the gas company be required to furnish a higher quality of gas, more candle power if necessary, and I also want to add that the gas became better after Congress met than before.” “Do you think the trouble arises because of inferior gas or obstructions in the flow?” asked Mr. Cogawell. “I don't believe it comes from obstruc- tions; there may be a lack of pressure,” an- swered Mr. Outhwaite, “But that does not account for the fact that at certain seasons the light is insufficient and at other times satisfactory,” he added. He said the com- pany had expressed a willingness to put In a new supply pipe. The Company's Profits. Mr. Tucker of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association then presented to the committee the memorial to Congress adopted by the association last November urging the erection of a municipal gas plant, and the manufacture of gas by the city. This petition has been published in The Star heretofore. Mr. Tucker then read a short statement, charging that the gas company is using its charter for the benefit of its stockholders without regard to the public. The stock has incredsed in value 150 per cent, large dividends are paid and recently the com- pany divided $590,000 among the stock- holders outside of the dividends. The com- pany pays large salaries to officers, he said, and it would seem that the city should take hold. This concluded the testimony, and Mr. Tucker's statements were accepted as a portion of the record. Mr. Builey’s Statement. In the meantime Mr. Cooper of Florida had been looking over a financial statement which had been submitted by the gas com- Pany at the request of the committee. It will be reca}led that Mr. Bailey of the gas company appeared before a regular meet- ing of the committee last week and made ! some statements as to the financial status of the company, which he was requested to submit in writing and in official form. It was this statement which Mr. Cooper had been reading. “It is a pity, Mr. Chairman,” he said, “that Mr. Bailey’s remarks to the commit- tee were not reported by a stenographe>. I find that this document omits some import- mt statements which he made.” “Probably we had better discuss that after the testimony is concluded,” said Mr. Richardson. This suggestion was adopted and the com- — immediately went into executive ses- mn. After remaining in executive sesion for some time the committee adjourned, and it was announced that Mr. Bailey will be re- called next Saturday morning to supply the facts which the committee wants, and — his written statement does not fur- nish. The Company's Prosperity. The financial statement showed that of the capital stock, amounting to $2,000,000, the sum of $1,492,500 has been paid in cash. The statement further says: “This company was chartered by act of Congress dated July 8, 1848, with an au- thorized capital of $50,0m!. In 1848, $4.10 per share, amounting to $25,000, was paid in cash, and in 1849, $7 per share was paid in in cash, or $17,500, making $42,500 in all, whert certificates for $4) per share were issued, the $7,500 being doubtless given as a bonus to induce persons to take this stock. in 1852 Congress authorized an increase of the tapital, amounting to $200,000, and in that year and in the following one this amount was issued and paid for in cash. In January, 1855, Congress authorized an incrcase in capital of $150,000, and from that time to 1858 that amount was offered to stoekholders and paid for in cash by them. May 24, 1868, Congress granted a further increase of $500,000, which amount was is- sued to shareholders share for share, the capital stock being at that time 00,000 and the works having cost to January 1, 1887, $035,089. May 29, 1872, Congress again increased the capital $200,000, with the privi- lege of increasing it to a million, the said increase of capital stock not to be made from undivided profits which had or might thereafter accrue. “In 1872 there was paid in cash $200,000 of this amount. $300,000 was issued and paid for in cash in the years 1873 to 1876, in- clusive of the amount having been Ned and paid for in installments. The remaining $500,000 was issued and paid for in -ash in the same manner in the years 1876 to 1882, inclusive, which completed the issue of $2,000,000 of stock. “In addition to the bonds issued by this company there have been issued $600,400 of certificates of indebtedness. These certifi- cates were issued to represent money actu- ally expended In the enlargement and ex- tension of the plant from time to time, which certificates are declared to be con- vertible into the stock of the company should Congress ever give the right to in- crease the capital for that purpose. In the year 1887 it was found necessary to build an additional plant to supply the demand for gas in the eastern section of the city. This was done at a cost to date of $1,701,608. To build these works two series of bonds were issued, the first in 1887, amounting to $300,000, and the second in 188%, amount- ing to $300,000 more.” The statement of the business of the com- pany for the year 1892 is also transmitted. The gross earnings for the year were $1,. 008,883.38. The gross expense w 981.35, leaving a balance of $96,9% . sum of gross expenses also includes divi- dends paid, amounting to $200,000, extension of works $112,525, and interest amounting | to $72,000, The other items of the expe [Beste were as ‘follo Repairs, $7 186,60;c0! and oil,$234,084.38; wages and sal- atles, $126,761.25; taxes, water rent and li- cense, $39,376. street lamps, distribution office and general expense account, ¢ 825.73; purifying materials, $5,7: U . inspector, surance, >_ rents, $4,789.95. , $41,476,168 cubic feet of gas sold. The gross expense per 1,000 feet for the manufacture of this gas, by the statement above given, including the divi- |dends and extension of plant and interest, is $1.19. Mr. W. C. Dodge has submitted to the committee a statement from the Secretary of the Interior showing that the gas com- |pany has filed with the department, ac- cording to law, a copy of its coal account. The company purchased, Ma: », 1S, SS,- 500 tons of coal at an average cost of $8.97 53-100 per ton. The illustrated lecture on the “Passion Play,” by Lewis Harvie Finney, jr., in the parish hall of St. Paul's | Episcopal Church last evening was heard by quite a large audience. The stereopticon views were excel- lent, Mr. iinney’s description of the play by the people of Oberammergau being very interesting. ———_~—__— Col. H. W.
