RICHMOND GAS RATE DECISION INTENDED -

TO AID USE IN HOME

. f y

' ' CBy Associated Pre .. INDIANAPOLIS, May 6. Gas rates were ordered increased in Richmond

.Joday by . the Indiana public service

commission. In acting on the petition "of j&e Richmond Heat, Light and Power company, the commission also recommended that the utility reduce its capitalization. The , new . rate for gas will be 75 cents, to replace a sliding scale of from 85 to 45 cents. The effect is a reduction of small consumers' bills -and an increase and consequent discouragement of industrial consumers' 'bills and usage. The gas is natural and the order is intended as a conservation measure. The company should, according to the commission's orders, wipe out its $300,000 of common stock and convert Its $85,000 preferred stock and its $144,119 notes payable into common stock and should substantially reduce its funded notes and .bonds.
