GAS RATE BOOST HEARING IS SET FOR JANUARY 7
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Dec. 24 The Public Service Commission yesterday afternoon Hied Jan. 7 as the date for beginning" a hearing on a petition of
the Richmond Light, Meat ana rower company to increase its rates for natural gas. , ." . The company in" its petition filed with the service . commission yesterday soon after that body had fixed the price the city must pay for the company's electric light plant, represents that the revenue produced by the present schedule of rates for natural gas are Inadequate to meet the fixed charges after the operating expenses have been deducted The fixed charges, aggregating $995,250, Include the return on bonds and notes, preferred and common stock and demand notes. The company says . that threatened
competition forced it to supply natural gas piped from the east, in the
place of artificial gas, and to greatly
reduce the rates - The reduced rates, the company Asserts,, represented an
experiment which; has proved a disappointment. The company, according to its petition, had anticipated that there would be a new and increased use. for natural gas at the reduced rates. The revenue for the year ending Nov. 30 aggregated S124.112.38. The gas sold amounted to 315.201 cubic feet.

" With Porter, a member of the team acting in this capacity, there are sure to be some interesting yarns; told and it may be that some of the inside dope of the game will- be revealed.
