Records of tHe city controller's office show that the old Citizens Gas, Co., the predecessor company, paid $213,918.88 in real and personal property taxes in 1934. Over the last 10-year period, utility payments at this rate would have ylelded about $2,140,000, Actually, they would have been more, since.the valudtion of the utility. has greatly increased and so has the tax rate, In reality, payments in lieu of taxes by the utility have totaled $840,000—a sum just $1,300,000 short of the $2,140,000 which is the minimum the controller's office figures the utility, would have paid had it been owned privately. Nothing Paid In 4 Years City controller's records show that from 1935 to 1939, the utility paid nothing. It paid $90,000 annually in 1989, 1040, 1941 and 1942. This was-raised to $160,000 in 1943, 1044 and 1045, Thus eity hall contends that the utility owes the general fund

He also proposed that all unused requisitioned currency and property be returned to the Italian government within the same 90day period.

If the courftil asks how the profit
answers, the next question is: Why has natural gas not been introduced to save the continual expense of increasing and replacing production facilities? That.could bring up the whole question of whether natural gas is available in sufficient supply, and if so, at what price. In 1941, the utility paid $1,100,000 to the Koppers Co. of Pittsburgh for fnstgHation of 41 coke ovens at the Prospect st. plant, An additional $623,000 had to be spent for a producer plant to supply gas to operate’ this battery of ovens. Last year, the utility spent $1,641,000 to replace a battery of ovens built in 1918. Good for 20 Years Utility engineers estimate that the life of an oven battery is 20 years. This depreciation cost could be saved with the introduction of natural gas, the proponents this gas argue. 3 So, for the first time since the start of the war, thé natural gas issue is being revived. Council's request for funds, which the utility executives regard as a raid on the cash drawer, may well develop into the natural gas offensive the utility has resisted for years.
