PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

Albany Southern Railroad Company, In the matter of the com-
plaint, under sections 71 and 72, Public Service Commission
Law, of John Hall, as mayor of the city of Rensselaer, against,
as to price charged the public for gas in said city. (Case No.
7565), 580.

Gas and electric companies gas rates-service charge.
In view of the decision of the Appellate Division, third
department, that a service charge is illegal and that it is a
"rent or gas meter charge," the service charge set forth in
respondent's schedule of rates should not be allowed.

Assuming the sales of gas to equal the sales of the year 1920
and with regard to probable increased sale, and upon the
required revenue necessary to meet the company's proper oper-
ating expenses, taxes, etc., and to give it a fair return upon
the capital expended, the rates were computed as follows: One
dollar for the first 300 cubic feet; seventeen cents per 100
cubic feet for the next 700 cubic feet; sixteen cents per 100
cubic feet for the next 4,000 cubic feet; fifteen cents per 100
cubic feet for the next 15,000 cubic feet and fourteen cents
per 100 cubic feet for the excess over 20,000 cubic feet.

In computing the rate consideration was given to the fact
that the average consumption is 1,500 cubic feet per month
and to the further fact that a very large majority of the con-
sumers use less than 1,500 cubic feet per month. At the rates
so computed the cost to consumers using 1,500 cubic feet or
under per month will be less than under the rates superseded
including the service charge. The cost to users of gas in excess
of 1,500 cubic feet will be slightly increased.

in said city; also complaints of customers in said city for gas
and electricity. (Case No. 7575), 592.
