-?* BRONK GAS C ATTEMPTS 10 PUT OVER $1.75 RATE Corporation Counsel Learns of Secret by Accident—City Not Notified. | HIGHEST BASIC CHARGE Move May Be a Device to In- fluence Litigation Over Tem- porary $1.50 Rate. \ crease in its rates for gas to $1.75 @ thousand cubic feet, the highest basic rate in the history of the city, is asked for by the Bronx Gas and Flectric Company, recently acquired by the Consolidated Gas-Standard Oil octopus. . Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of the State is still considering the legality of its present temporary rate of $1.50 a thousand, this com. Pany has appealed to the Public Ser- vice Commission for its second in- crease, and hearings have been set for Tuesday before Commissioner Pren- dergast, In addition, the Corporation Counsel's office was not notified of the Bronx company’s action, and had it not been that one of the city’s employees accidentally heard of the c. the company would have stolen an important march on the city, Justice Mullan, on Aug. 7, 1919, granted the Bronx Gas and Electric « Company u temporary rate of $1.50 a thousand, an increase of 5 the stututory charge. This now the subject of inve the Supreme Court. whicti appointed George V. S. Williams a reteree, Hearings were begun April 9, 1921, and continued to July were adjourned until Sept. 7. Now this recently acquired Con- solidated Gas subsidiary, following the precedent set by its sister, the New York and Queens Gas Com- pany is confusing the issues, and at the same time that it is attempting to justify one increase is opening action in an dttempt to get still higher rates. It has been frequently stated in con- nection with this is a brazen at‘.mpt to create the impression the company is losing money on the rate authorized by the first increase. DEMAND IS FOR HIGHEST BASIC RATE YET KNOWN. Despite the reduction in the Price of gas oil that will save 27.22 cents on every 1,000 cubic feet of gas, and the reduction in fuel and labor and repairs, the Bronx Gas and Electric Company asks for the highest basic rate for gas in the history of the city. Even the Queens company is aking only $1.60, plus, of course, @ 75 cents service charge. “These companies are asking the most outlandish rates imaginable,” said Assistant Corporation Counsel Fertig, who is fighting the gas com- Panies on behalf of the city, “In the hope that by comparison the In- creased rates they are willing to ac- cept will look insignificant. But they are not entitled to a cent increase, or even their present rates. On their own figures they can make money at the statutory rate of 80 cents.” Failure of the Pyblic Service Com- mission to notify the Corporation Counsel's office of the hearing in the new Bronx action Tuesday is indic- ative of the attitude assumed to- ward the city at the hearings in these cases. In addition to secrecy now exposed to the public, an attempt is being made to pile up these cases so thick and fast that the limited staff of the Cerporation Counsel's office will be unable to cope with the situation. If the gas conspira- lors succeed, the city will be unable to fight any one case properly, or be hampered in the attempt to fight most of them through lack of men and money. PEOPLE SEEM TO LACK FRIENDS AT HEARINGS. In addition to all this, there is a decidedly hostile atmosphere at these hearings. Consumers and their coun. sel are scoffed at and legitimate, im- portant questions put by the repre- rate is @_sentative of the Corporation Counsel cross-examination to the gas com- pany'’s witnesses bring sneers and smiles of derision. This finally became eo unberable at the hearings Wednes- day afternoon that Mr, Fertig for the city jumped to his feet in » defense of counsel for the consumers >) from Queens, and pounding the table ‘sald to both Judge Ransome, the eom- ’ pany’s counsel, and Commissioner Prendergast: “YT want to join with counsel for the emsumers in the strong expression of opposition to this attempted crea- tion of an atmosphere here by coun- sel of the gas company and his co- horts the net effect of which is to make it extremely dificult for counsel to get the attention, courtesy and consideration that they are entitled ‘to. “There is a feeling here that every- thing that is asked by counsel for the defendants (meaning city or con- smmers) is superfluous and every- thing that the company puts across | tg gilt-edge, 100 per cent. I think it ougnt to stop. I speak for the Cor- poration Counsel's office and the con- sumers, and I know that if they were present to sec what has transpired their ire would be aroused, If the gas consumers of New York could only see what is happening!" And neither Commissioner Prender- who is conducting the hearings, nor Judge Ransome answered, But from that time to the end of the hear- {ng counsel for the city and the con- sumers were accorded more civil at- tention. cents over | igation by | , When they | the Queens case that} what | West Offers to Take Holiness Man’s Runaway Wife Bible Student Promises to Make Her Happiest Woman in the World.

Lusk after Mayor Hylan had nulli- fied all the work the done for them by vetoing the detec- tives’ bill, Senator had The Commissioner is in receipt of information that the silver set, com- prising about 60 pieces in a matogany case, was purchased from Tiffany's and cost at least $1,000, He called up Tiffany's sales manager on the tele- phone to-day and asked that a record of the sale be sent to the office of the Commissioner of Accounts, ‘Who bought the silverware—in whose name was the purchase made?” asked the sales manager. The Commissioner admited that he didn't know and so Tiffany's could not give the information offhand. Commissioner Hirshfield is satisfied that he knows the names of the detectives who negotiated tae pur- chase and he will call them and ques- tion them on Monday, He will as- certain not only how much the silver- ware cost but who put up the money to pay for it. The records of tie Detectives’ Endswment Association do noi show any expenditure for a present to Senator Lusk or any| contributions or assessments for that purpose. Inquiry by Commissioner Hirsh- field hus developed the name of the |Lincoin Trust Company as that in which Lusk has a safety deposit box wherein the silver was placed. It is likely, if the sales slips of Tiffany & Co. prove the silver was costly, Mr. Hirshfield will call upon the trust company to open the Lusk strong box so he may inspect the silver, Mr. Hirshfield said no one connect- ed with the lobby:ng expedition would escape examination if he could pre- vent it, and that he had demanded of Police Commissioner Enright a complete list of absentees frum the department during March and April, the period of activityson the bill.
