25-GENT GAS RISE
CALLEDEXCESSIVE
Amendment to Hall Measure
Expected in Council Commit
tee Meeting Today
WEGLEIN ORDINANCE UP
A rise in the price of gas smaller
than the .$1.25 rate In an ordinance in
troduced by Councilman Hall probably
wlll bh prorIded b amendment at to
day's meeting of CoundlS Public Util
ity Committee.
Members of Council, before the meet
ing began, Indicated their belief that
nn increase from the present rate of $1
to 81.25 would be too much and that
an increase of five or ten cents, as sug
gested in Hie Gas Commission's report,
would more likely to meet approval.
The committee also wlll consider a
resolution sponsored by Councilman
Roper, which calls on City Solicitor
Smyth to confer with the Municipal
Gas Commission on the proposed draft
of a new lease. .
A thiid measuro before the committee
will bo the draft of nn ordinance given
to Richard Wegleln, president of Coun
cil, by Samuel T. Bodlne, president of
the United Gas Improvement Co., which
leases tho clty-owncd gas works. This
ordinance would authorize the remission
of the city's share of the U. G. I. Co.'s
income derived from the sale of gas here.
Besides providing for an increase o'f
twenty-five cents in the price of gaa
per thousand cubic feet the Hall ordi
nance also will provide a higher stand
ard gas by increasing the British ther
mal units from 530 to 000.
When he Introduced the measure
Mr. Hall said that he was act
ing entirely on his own initiative in
presenting the temporary relief meas
ure and that If any memberof Council
could sugyeet n better plan he would
accept It or anything; else that would
enable the public to get a better quality
of gas and at the same time provide
some measuro of relief to the companv.
So far as Council Is concerned there
has been nothing to Indicate that the
temporary increase in price of gas to
consumers has met with n general pro
test from the gas users.
In the ordinance paesed by Council
early In June the U. P. I. was given
an extension to Friday of next week
in furnishing consumers the 530 B. T.
U. standard in place of the candle
power. Today's meeting of the coun
cilmanic committee will be In the
Financn room on the fourth floor of
City Hall.

By the Associated. Press
Washington, July 6. A tariff law
which would "become the Magna Charta
for the perpetuation of our American
