NEW BASIS OF MEASURING GAS USED PROPOSED Commission Asked for Permit to Employ Heat Unit Basis. Rate schedules under which it is proposed to bill customers in Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting, Michigan City and adjacent suburban communities on the basis of heat units used instead of the volume of gas consumed have been filed with the Indiana public service commission by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. Specifically, the company asks permission to issue its bills expressing charges for gas used on the basis of therms of heat units rather than in cubic feet as at present. A therms is 100,000 B. T. U., being the technical name for British thermal units. The proposed’ schedule is similar to the one recently placed in effect in Chicago by the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, with the approval of the Illinois commerce commission. The therm basis of billing, it is explained by Morse Dell Plain, president of the company, contemplates no change in the cost of gas service to the customer. Furthermore, he pointed out, if the therm basis is approved, the present cubic foot rates will be continued in effect as optional. “An important reason for the proposed change in the system of billing,” Dell Plain says, “is the fact that arrangements have been completed for purchase of petroleum refienry gas in the vicinity of the cities affected. This gas, like natural gas, has a much higher heating value per cubic foot than the gas with which customers are now being supplied. “It is planned to mix the petroleum refinery gas with the coke oven gas now being supplied, thus increasing substantially the heating value of the gas distributed to customers. Under the therm basis of billing, the customer will pay only for the quantity of heat used, regardless of the volume of gas in which the heating value is contained.”
