Mr. Blakes- eo said: ("A utility which by prudent and @Mclent management can furnish its Product or service at a minimum ‘price should be allowed a higher re- Burn than a company which through Max management or uneconomical Imethods is forced to demand higher ates from consumers.” The commision also ruled that nt-day consumers should not r the cost of Improvements or ad- tions to plants designed to take of new business.

Another process of making gas is the Dayton procens, It is not a secret process, but It in agreed by the ex perts that gas could be produced at approximately half the present price if this process was properly employed. The gas corporations might answer that the coke would not be easily disposed of, if coke oven gas was made here, But no one has advanced any reason why a large percentage of coke oven gas could ont be manu- factured and ways and means found in the process of development for the disposal of the coke.
