HOUSE PASSES BILL TO GOVERN GAS INDUSTRY
State Police Cadets’ Schoolmasters
Lower Rates May Be Result
Of Measure Approved Without Dissent.
Times Special WASHINGTON, July 2.—A part of the Wheeler-Rayburn iy Rill
left over from the battle of 1935 was passed by the House late yesterday
| | |
|
|
without a single dissenting vote or |
speech.
Some 8,000,000 consumers of natural gas may get lower rates as a result.
The bill provides for Federal regulation of the transportation and sale of natural gas in interstate | commerce. Since its separation from | the original Wheeler-Rayburn Bill, | to facilitate that measure’s passage, it has been sponsored by Rep. Clar- | ence F. Lea (D. Cal.).
Seldom it ‘ever has such an important measure been passed by the House without a hostile speech from any member. Republicans as well as | Democrats praised the bill, and | Representatives from gas-producing states and states where gas is re- | tailed were equally anxious for its | passage.
Under Power Commission The measure puts the first regu- | lation of natural gas ever attempted by the Federal Government into the | hands of the Pederal Power Commission. Tt authorizes the Commission to learn the cost of properties, to direct extension or improvement of {transportation facilities and to require their interconnection, | to prescribe a system of accounts. | fix depreciation rates, and fix the | charges for gas sold for resale for | ultimate public consumption. Demand for passage of the hill became clamorous when the Cities Alliance was formed by Detroit Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Akron, To- | ledo, Cleveland, St. Paul and others | which had for years been trying to. get natural gas or to get lower gas rates. The fight was taken up by U. 8S. Conference of Mayors. Legislative investigations ‘were started |® and cities threatened to undertake distribution of gas themselves if the big companies tried again to block | their efforts. Instance after instance was exposed where a company pleading for high rates, be- | cause of the wholesale price it paid | to another company at a state line, | was found to be a fellow subsidiary | of that same company in a ach of | St company system beyond reach of any state utility commission. 50,000,000 Miles of Lines
Transportation of natural gas in pipelines has developed, for the | most part, in the past 10 years. There are 50,000 miles of pipelines. One and three-quarters trillion cubic feet of natural gas were sold in 1934. On an average domestic consumers paid 74.6 cents per 1000 cubic feet and industrial users 16.9 cents. Public officials are primarily interested in reduction of the domestic | rate. Reb. Carl E. Mapes (R. Mich.) made an unsuccessful effort to have 1 persons employed under the new act selected from civil service rolls. The House refused by a voice vote.
