THE EVENING STAR, LOWER GAS RATE PROPOSAL MADE ! Arlington Utilities Body to Ask Supervisors to In- stitute Proceedings. | By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COQURT HOUSE, Va., November 27.—The Public Utllities Commission of bring a case Before the State Corpora- tion Commission asking further reduc- tions of the gas rate. ‘To protest the voluntary reduction of- fered by the Washingt-n Gas Light Cn. through its subsidiary, the Rosslyn Gas Ca., would be to deprive those pero.iis who might benefit by the voluntary re- duction of their rights in the event tm State body refuses the.schedule to ¥ filed by the commission, it was claimed.

In a letter to the board, which will be brought up at Saturday's meeting, the commission asks that Common- wealth’s Attorney William C. Gloth be designated by the board to conduct the case before the State commission and that the latter ly be asked to hold the hearing in Arlington County rather than in Richmond. Based upon the figures of the com- pany as of ‘the first of this year, the mission claims that the reduction should be a minimum of 26 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, but that these figures will not be the ones to be considered when the company has miged natural gas with its present product. The mains for the natural gas are now nearing Washington, the commission claims, and after the gas becomes available the manufacturing cost will be considerably lowered. ‘While it was not stated by the body ,{,\:sl how much of a reduction would asked it was indicated that the re- quest would be 40 to 50 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. The commission will, if the super- visors act favorably upon its request, | make all of their figures and techni- cal knowledge available to the common- wealth's attorney. It will be necessary to ask the Washington Gas Light Co. to produce figures to show just how much their manufacturing cost will be reduced by the addition of the natural gas.
