29. Tho Missouri Public Service Com mission today Instructed the La clede Gas Light Co. of St. Louis to file a complete inventory and state ment of the actual cost of the property of the Missouri Industrial Gas Co. of St.

Louis, an affiliated company recently absorbed by La clede. The order was issued in the course of what had been scheduled as a hearing- on the question of whether the Missouri Industrial was a public utility and subject to State regulation. The commission did not press its inquiry into past operations of the Missouri Industrial, since the ab 7 sorption had been completed and Laclede counsel had announced the Tabler-Cleaned Dresses It's so easy to keep all your clothes flatteringly fresh and clean if you use Tabler's "Certified' Gleaning Service. property taken over would be operated as a public utility, along with the Laclede's property. The Missouri Industrial was owned by the Utilities Power Light Corporation of Chicago, which also controls the Laclede Gas Light Co.

After Laclede company witnesses today i-aid the Missouri Industrial had been taken over from the Utilities Power Light for a cash (Drive tMLi and owel PACKARD JIGHT EIGHT before iou imu AH1T car STIOO up CLEANING COL PHONE: JEff. 9400 For Delivery Service See the New Servel Then Decide! price of $850,000, but that figures were not immediately available on the cost of the property. Chairman Milton R- Stahl of the commission, directed the filing of such figures, in a form that could be checked by the commission accountants. The Missouri Industrial Co. was organized in 1929.

Stahl said the commission was particularly interested as to whether the purchase price represented the actual cost of the property, or whether a profit to the Utilities Power Light Corporation was included. The commission on Feb. 11 ordered an investigation, on its own motion, of the Missouri Industrial, which serves natural gas to several industrial users in St. Louis, and had proposed to sell natural gas to the Laclede Co. to be mixed with its artificial gas.

The order was issued to determine whether the company was operating as a public utility. Four days later, in the course of a hearing of the Laclede company's application for authority to mix natural gas with its artificial gas, and for approval of a new schedule of rates for the mixed gas, Laclede officials announced that company was taking over Missouri Industrial and would complete the transfer in a few days.

Under the original proposal of the Laclede Co. to furnish mixed gas in St. Louis, Laclede was to buy natural gas for mixing purposes from its affiliated company, the Missouri Industrial. The contracts showed the Missouri Industrial was to buy gas from the pipe line at 26 cents a thousand cubic feet, and resell it to the Laclede for an estimated price of 28.3 cents a thousand cubic feet, including carrying charges, for the first two years of a 15-year contract. Thereafter the price would vary, based on demand and commodity charges.

In an earlier hearing commission members asked why it was neces t'ifrMlfhf1 sary for Laclede to buy natural gas through an intermediary company, instead of from the pipe line.
