The two outstanding features of
his .second induction are:
The two companies involved
(the Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the Georgetown Gas
Light Company) declared their
readiness to reduce rates 10 cents
a thousand of their own accord,
the price returning 8 per cent,
on the "fair value" of the prop
erties. The commission would
allow only a 7 per cent return and
ordered the 15-cent cut.
In addition to this the order
specifically points out that wera
,it not for the fact that an act of
Congress compels the companies
to furnish gas to the Federal and
District of Columbia Governments
at a low rate, the prices ordered
hv the commission would have
been lower. The ordinary con
sumer was compelled to carry the
ln Incurred by the company
'i through serving the Nation.
ir, t,Mltlnn.il feature of the com-
Wsslon's order la that unless other
wise sneclfically ordered the new
rates will apply until the meter-
roadlng period beginning March IB,
1922 when "the rate shall be restored
sMtnmatieallv to a uniform rate of
'j55 cejits per thousand cubic feet."
1.1 niS IS ina pio'ai .
It is DOinted out In the order that
the new rates are baaed upon state
ments showing cost of furnishing gas
tnr Vim next vcar "with costs of fuel
nnd oil adjusted to present prices."
The order then sums up: t
The commission believes that un
der conditions as they exist at this
lme, It will be fair and reasonable
adjust the rates for gas so as to
bring to the cr ipanies a return of
anoioximatclv'. per cent. This can
be accomplished by a maximum rate
of $1.10 per thousand cubic feet.
After a careful consideration of
the cvldcnco In this case, the com
mission Is of tho oplnloa that the
reduction Is just and rca
Bonablo and should be made."
