BEGIN INVESTIGATION
TO FIX LIGHT RATES
Supervisors Inquire Into
Operations of the Gas
Company
BIG LOSS SUSTAINED
Income Lessened, Owing to
Cut in Price and for
Other Causes
The. Board of Supervisors began its
annual investigation yesterday for the
purpose of fixing the rates to be
charged for light, heat and power dur
ing the- next fiscal year. The sessipn
•was devoted entirely to the examina
tion, of John A Britton. president of
th* San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company, who was questioned regard-
Ing the statement -filed showing the
revenue and expenditure of the com
pany (pr the year 1906. showing that
its total revenue from all sources was
55.629. £70.90 and the expenditures were
$4.272. 22T.61, leaving a net deficit of
$M 2.256.71. . The company also paid out
dividends amounting to $226,315.63. but
no information was elicited as to how
how they were paid when the books \
showed a loss, nor .was Britton ques
tioned on that point.
The inquiry will, determine whether
the board will re-enact the prevailing!
rate of So centfe per 1000 cubic feet of j
pas or reduce the rate to 75 cents.
Some, of the Supervisors seem to favor
another cut in the price, but others
sr<r of the opinion that the S5 cent rate
should stand in view of the enormous
losses sustained by the company in
the April disaster. The matter will
probably be decided at the regular se- ;
rr*t caucus of the board tonight. The
schedule of rates to be charged for
electricity probably "will be left as they
are now. \u25a0/ * •-. : \u25a0 :.
JVCO-ME IS LESS
Britton. in response to questions by
Chief Inquisitor Gallagher, said the
receipts for gas saies for 1906 were
$1,899,824.04. representing 2.123.318.000
cubic feet, against $2,528,905.81 in 1905.
a reduction in income of. $629,081.77.
This was due to the reduced rate and a
diminished consumption of gas, Britton
scid.
The cost of gas in the holder Brit
ten fixed at^ 39.9 cents per 1000 cubic
feet, for distribution 25.6 cents and for
expenses of administration 38.252 cents t
©t a total of $1.03752. Britton prom
ised to furnish detailed statements of
the cost of manufacturing and supply
ing gas at the next Kession and also as
to the losses incurred by the company.
"The total loss sustained by the
entire plant was J4.a00.000," said Brit
ton. "We had some insurance, but
have failed to collect SO or 90 per cent
of it as yet We are not using, the
Pacific Gas Improvement Company's
plant for manufacturing gas, our Po
trero station being used for that pur
pose. : We are making all gas out of
oil by a new process. The original
cost of the entire gas plant was $17,
602,513.51, of which $ISO.OOO represents
th* cost of extending gas mains. We
sold electric current to the amount -of
$1,521,033.19 in 1906. against $2,055.
923.48 in 1905, a loss of $534,89b.29.
The electric plant cost $8,884,577.89."
Supervisor McGushin said that while
the company was entitled to sympathy
for its great loßses the people who had
suffered likewise were entitled to con
sideration when it came to fixing the
rate.
BILLS -\OT REDUCED
Supervisor Lonergan thought It
singular that while the rate for gas
had been uniformly reduced \u25a0in the
past ten years the bills of consumers
appeared to experience no sensible
diminution. ~-
Brltton pleaded that gas meters were
honest mechanical devices and, that
only about 10 per cent of them lied, of
which 8 per cent lied against and only
2' per cent in favor of the company.
"Is it not a fact." asked Lonergan,
v "that air is forced through the pipes to
quicken the action of the meter?"
Britton denied that such •was the
rase and Supervisor Mamlock explained
that the air-pumping process was used
to increase the pressure in the outlying
districts, where the mains were inade
quate, :
Then Lonergan said something about
poor gas being supplied, when Galla-
Kher remarked ' that the city gas , In
spector had reported that the "gas was
above the standard/both as to candle
power and heat units. This was pre
sumed to be correct, as the company's
own testing apparatus was utilized,
that belonging to the city having been
destroyed. '„-\u25a0_!*
, Lonergan asked Britton If it would
not be fairer to do away with the
meters and to charge a flat rate for
each light, and the latter replied that
the company would go out of business
If the plan were followed, as the con
sumers would not use proper economy.
The investigation will be resumed
next Tuesday at 11 a. m. ;. , ; ;-; ;.•
RETURNS TO MEET CHARGE
TTilliam J. Baker, for- whose arrest
' Mrs. Maud Lux, proprietor of a lodging
t house at Laguna street and Golden
Gate avenue, swore out a warrant a
week ago, returned to this city Fri
day night and surrendered himself to
the authorities yesterday. At the time
the -complaint was made. Baker was in
Bent. Nev., but on being advised by
friends that the police were looking
for him he returned immediately. . He
is accused by the woma*n of having
stolen diamonds valued at $1800. His
case will be heard In the Police Court
oa March 1.

ACCUSES HEALTH BOARD
OF GLARING STUPIDITY
Dr. C. F. Byckley Enters
Complaint Against the
Members'"
According to Dr. D. F. Ragan, > Dr.
J. W. Ward and other members; of the
Board of Health, James MathewsonV the
four-year-old son of . John . Mathewson,
residing, at 1350 Twelfth avenue/ has
diphtheria. A yellow sign, \u25a0 tackedj on
the front . door, so announces to the
public . and commands all .within \u25a0< the
house to stay there, and all without to
remain out. According to the physical
condition of little James ; Mathewson.
who is to be reckoned with in the mat
ter, there is nothing wrong with. him.
He has no diphtheria or any other in
fectious disease. The only things in
fectious about, him are a hearty: laugh,
a sunny temper and : a disposition to
keep ten brothers and sisters interested
or busy.
Not. only is "Jimmy" free of;, diph
theria, but he never has had r the dread
disease; yet the Board of Health stub
bornly keeps the - sign on the ; house
and has shut? off the needed earnings
of the househol&r - to say, nothing -of
keeping the family shut up in the house
day and night.
The complaint made by Dr. C. F.
Buckley,' 2614 V Pacific avenue, .against
the" Board of Health implies a degree
of stupidity;, of that body, ..which, if
it weie infectious, wouldr shut all Jts
members up with sickly /.yellow signs
or their homes., -
Dr. Buckley, who has been the fam
ily physician of the Mathewsons for
years; .stated yesterday : that " be '". had
been summoned . to the . home . February
3 to treat Baby Jim for- a. 'sore; throat.

to * see ' the , yellow. pla*card, ; announcing
