INCREASE IN GAS RATES IS TO DE FOUGHT BY CITY - City Council Unanimous in Opposition to Rate " Raise

Asked by Gas Company. Open warfare on the raise in rates asked by the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company was declared Monday night by City Attorney Robbins backed by the mayor and the council at the council meeting. , Robbins declared, he was tired, of trying to keep the city andt the gas company out . of trouble. He was heartily applauded by the council, and the mayor and the council expressed unanimous resolution .to fight any Increase In rates. "The gas company is never satisfled, no matter what rate ft gets," he said. "I am getting very tired of hearing a continual wail from them." "They are allowed seven- per cent by the Public Service commission.

Year before last their profit was twelve per cent Their report for last year has not been published, and their profit was perhaps smaller,' but I believe it is still above their allowance." For Commission to Decide. "Now this year they will perhaps fall below the lowest profit allowed them, but what if they do? They have a good long way to go yet to work out their excess profits of last year and year before last Let them suffer a little with the rest of us." Robbins said he believed the city should let the gas company take its plea to the public service commission and fight out the question there. Mayor Zimmerman said that in relation to the plea of the company that it had suffered by having its industrial customers cut off by the Federal fuel administration, that it had been encouraged by the city in the first place to supply cheap fuel to private consumers. When the factories began taking gas, he said, the small consumers suffered.

Why most other cities in the central west supplied with gas paid very much smaller rates than Richmond was a thing many people could not understand, Bald Councilman Schneider. . Charges Fictitious Valuation. "They are getting their rates on a fictitious valuation," said Councilman Ford. "They are making rates on the valuation, of the artificial light gas plant and that plant isn't any good to Richmond. They put that valuation in to make rates as high as possible." City Attorney Robbins explained that most of the cities with lower rates than Richmond were very much larger consumers. The -ordinance on parking of vehicles, as amended, was given its first reading. . Much discussion was provoked by the clause making the east side the one to be used by machines. Some of the councilmen were still in favor of taking the hitching racks out of the streets in the center of town. During the meeting, Mayor Zimmerman expressed to council his rec

ommendation that the city and county operate in tho building and improvement program approved by the board of works in the morning. STATE LEAGUE URGES

URGE U. S. SELL WHEAT FOR $1.25

(Br Associated Press! WASHINGTON, Feb.' 4. Grain dealers appearing today before the house agriculture committee, proposed that the government pay the guaranteed price of $2.26 a bushel for the 1919 wheat crop and sell it to the consumer at the world market price which they estimated would be about $1.25. The witnesses generally believed this plan would cost the government probably a billion and a quarter dollars, but said this loss was preferable to any attempt on the part of the government to maintain an artificistl price Representative Lever, of South Carolina, suggested thre other plans: That the wheat movement be entirely on the pre-war basis; that the movement possbly be restricted by the government being authorized to sell or buy so as to prevent manipulalation, and that the domestic movement be entirely on the pre-war basis with the export movement under federal control.
