HEAD SAYS CUTTING flTES OUTJUESTION Sept. Denning, president of the Lone Star Gas company said today that there was no thought in the minds of Lone Star Gas company officers of any reduction in the city gate rate at the present time or in the immediate future. His statement was made In connection, with the recommendation by W. C. Fitzhug-h, asslstw.rt director of the Texas Railroad commission's gas utilities division, of a 20 per cent reduction in city gate rates charged by the Lone Star Gas company.

Pltzhugh's recommendation made to the commission at Austin and would affect gate rates in approximately 2BO towns and cities served by the Lone Star svstem. It would reduce the gat? rates from 40 cents per 1,000 cubic feet to 32 cents. "Regardless of the recommendation of Mr. Fitzhugh, counsel for the railroad commission and the advance publicity 'of his recommendation, there is no thought In the minds of Lone Star Gas -company officers' of any reduction in the city gate, rate at the present time or In the immediate future," Denning said. "With revenues reduced as they have: been during the past -several years owing to the general depression and the 'low price of competitive fuel oil, the company has not earned a fair return even upon the ridiculously low valuation reported by the commission's engineers.

"Manifestly with the Increase in operating expenses due to compliance with the NRA. code, earnings will be further reduced and the situation further aggravated. Should the recommendation of Mr, Fitzhugh be followed, when the case has been judicially reviewed by hte courts, the company will show that It is justly entitled a minimum city gate rate of hot less than 45 cents instead of the existing 40 cents rate."
