The Pub- lic Service Commission has ordered the gas connections made, but Ralph Elsman, vice president and general manager of the gas company, claims that the connections cannot be made unless the capacity of the gas plant is increased, and that this cannot be done unless permission is granted to charge a higher rate. Corporation Counsel Burr told the Mayor two courses were open to property owners. First, to again apply to the Public Service Commission and insist that it enforce its order, or a writ of mandamus compelling the company to supply gas, Mr. Burr de- clares that the action of the Kings County Lighti® Company is one of revenge because of the city’s victory in recent gas litigation. “Determine whether the refusal of the Kings County Lighting Company is not a matter for District Attorney Lewis and the Kings County Grand Jury,” said Mayor Hylan to Mr. Burr. The Mayor added: “If there Is no law dealing with this prepare a ‘bill for immediate presentation at Albany providing for the fining and imprison- ment or both of responsible persons are guilty of withholding of life necessities such as gas, water and electricity.” Property owners and the Corpora- tion Counsel will confer to-morrow morning. ’ ge SKIN BRINGS $13,750.
