applause.
Chairman Prcndergast. outlining tho
Intont of tho commission, said It had
Initiated the inquiry on its own mo
tion, and asked tho companies to fur
nish tho data tov which they were
requested. This was dono by prac
tically all companies, some asking an
extension of time to add to facts and
figures already submlttud.
The Merchants' Association filed a
long petition oigolnst a Hat rato for
gas, asking tho commission to sub
btltute an equitable monthly service
charge to all consumers at a scale
of graduated charges under which the
rate per 1,000 cubic feet should be
decreased proportionately to tho In
crease in quantity consumed.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien hro
delivered his notice of protest and
asked If there was going to bo any
litigation, adding he did not want any
"sham-battles" at the expense of the
taxpayer. Ho wanted also to know
If tho commission Intended taking
testimony and data "in capsule form"
and then fixing the rate. Ho warned
the commission that many gas rate
coses were in the United States Su
preme Court for decision In October
nd predicted a victory for the people.
