THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1896 -112—-—————-——-—————————_—-——-——————::—_—————___—___—— AND STILL AIS - GAS BILL GREW. B. F. Wellington Says He Was Charged Without Reason. Not Satisfied With the Meter the Company Aver- aged. FIGURES CAUSE A Dissatisfied Consumer See$ in the Gas Company’s Methods an Argu- ment for City Owanership. Are San Francisco consumers of gas be- ing systematically and arbitrarily over- charged? B. F. Wellington, seed mer- chant at 425 Washington street, declares it his belief that they are, and he displays an array of documentary evidence which seems to lend color to hisdeclaration. Mr. ‘Wellington has been in controversy with the San Francisco Gas Light Company for a month, and the resuit of his experience has been to convince him that it is a mat- ter of small moment that figures won’t lie 80 long as gas companies figure. Mr. Wellington’s grievance against the local corporation dates back to about the 1st of September, when he received a bill for two months’ expenditure of gas at his residence, 712 Franklin street. Ordinarily, perhaps, Mr. Wellington would have al- lowed the bill to pass unchallenged, but in this instance the face of the statement ‘was covered with a confusing labyrinth of figures and the merchant’s curiosity was aroused. Moreover, the bill was tor an amount far in excess of his usual biils for light, ana he determined to ascertain the cause thereof, if possible. A peculiarity ones was that it was made out for two months, a ruse, Mr. Wellington believes, to cover up the arbitrary action which he discovered upon the face of the bill. From June 26 to August 17 a total con- sumption of 1800 feet was shown upon the bill. Of this oniy 200 feet was burned from June 16 to July 20. Marginal notes were on the bill, showing that on the latter date | the meter in Mr. Weilington’s residence was found to register 35 per cent slow, and it was accordingly removed. There was evidently nothing slow about the meter which was substituted, for from July 20 to August 17 it'showed a registration of 1600 feet. The total thus arrived at was 1800 feet for the entire period. To this much of the bill Mr. Wellington found no fault. He was further prepared to accept the company’s own statement of the first meter’s deficiency, and allow an addition of 35 per cent on the biil for the period dur- ing which the meter was that much be- hind standard. The gas company had other ideas as to the proper method of arriving at the amount of gas which would pass through a meter 35 per cent slow. They accord- ingly tock the register of the new meter, and ascertaining from that the amount of gas the Wellingtons ought to use in a month, added 1600 feet to the bill for the period. The former meter showed 200 feet. As corrected, Wellington was charged for 1800 feet for that period. When Mr. Wellington comprehended the system by which his bill had been in- flated he waxed exceeaingly wroth. Thirty-five per cent of 200 feet, he fig- ured, would be 70 feet, and this he con- ceived to be the amount which should Zave been addea to his bill, a difference in estimates of 1730 feet. The system of averaging the first month by the second, he declares, would have been unfair enough under any circumstances, as his | bill for the month preceding those in dis- pute shows a consumption of only 600 feet, but during the entire pericd for which the arbitrary addition was made his family was out of town. It was while he was occupying the premises alone, he claims, that be was charged tor just three times the amount of illumination his en- tire family required the preceding month. T used scarcely any gas during that month,” he says.” “I was home very lit- tie-and had occasion to use the gas only to light me to ved. I considered that if the gas company could thus without show of right or reason charge me for that which I had not consumed they couidand probably did do so with others, and it was a matter involving thousands of dollars annually to consumers. I determined not to submit to it and accordingly made a protest.” Mr. Wellington’s protest was not very froitful. The company refused to ac- knowledge the injustice of their course, but to save trouble agreed to deduct 1000 feet from the bill. This did not satisfy ‘Wellington. He maintained that the only just guide to the amount of fuel con- sumed was the meter, subject to correc- tion as shown by their own test. The company refused to accept this view and he went away dissatisfied. Some lit- tle correspondence ensued between the perties, ending in an ultimatum on the part of the company to the effect that they would throw off the entire bill if Wellington would pay $10 he had owed on a gas grate since 1892. A cooy of this let- ter was exhibited by Charles L. Barrett, cashier of the company, as an evidence of the corporation’s desire to act fairly. The effect of this document, however, is apparently offset by a receinted biil for the grate in question which Wellington sossssaes. An item of this bili is ~‘By de- uclion, as per agreement, $10.” This, Wellingtor says, is the result of the grate having failed to meet the conditions of its sale. “I have been unable 1o reach an under- standing with this company,” Mr. Wel- hington said, “and since discovering this overcharge I have talked with other peo- ple who have had similar difficulties. This matter 1 consider of grave import- ance to gas consumers and a most potent argument in favor of municipal owner- ship of gas works, Hereafter I intend to watch my meter more closely. I would advise other consumers to do likewise.” Mr. Barrett of the gas company says the fact that the meter registering 35 per cent slow does not necessarily show that that is all 1ts shortcomings. He rather considers it a sign that the met ris out of order and might not have registered at all. He contends that the average system used in Wellington’s case was a perfectly fair one. Three Secret Indictments. The United States Grand Jury held a short ession yesterday afternoon, returning three indictments, which were ordered placed on the secret file. Two were small postal cases, ut the third, Lincoln Brodt, is regarded in Federal circles as a case of great1mportance. Bome weeks ago Brodt entered at the Marys. ville Lana Office 320 acres of what he claimed was timber land. The tract in question is near Magaiis, Butte County. It seems that Merry and Parry own several mines within the alleged timber lands,one of which, the Alki mine, has been in operation for more than nine years. When these gentlemen searned of Brodi’s action they reported the matter to the Federal suthorities here, and a earching investigation was at once instituted. wveral witnesses from Butte County were ex- umined, their evidence showing that the land sntered by Brodt was mineral and not timber lna. There are said to be six counts against Brodt, the most serious being a charge of per- fury. Bail was fixed at $5000, though Brodt 285 not yet been arrested.
