Chief Engineer J. F.

McDonnell, of the- commission, occupied, the stand practically all oi the Rearing. The power company -did not submit a written answer to the report of the engineer, confining their reply to a cross-examination of Mr. McDonnell and a brief oral statement in which the history of the Montgomery gas and electric plants and street car system was reviewed. Mr. McDonnell testified that his study and analysis of the local gas plant showed that the plant had earned an average return of approximately 6 per cent during the last five years.

In 1923, he said, it earned 3.8 per cent; in 1924, 6 per cent; in 19253.4 per cent; and in 7, per cent Introduces. AU Profits Thisl he said; Included all profits. Out of this return, he testified, the plant paid fixed charges such as Interest and dividends on preferred stock. McDonnell, in response to questions, then-went into an analysis of the customers in reference to the number consuming small amounts of gas. He stated that therd were only 217 customers who used less than 1,000 cubic feet of gas a was the number using that amouni in June of last year.

The month was selected so as to -give the maximum number ot minimum users. Of these 136 averaged less than a consumption during the entire year, and 27 of the 136 were commercial users.

There were only three such small users in Capitol Heights and five in the Clo-verdale district Users of pay Mr.

McDonnell stated that he did not extend his analysis into the class that used from 1,000 to 2.000 cubic feet Those Using 1,500 fset a month pay $3.50 a month with the service charge. Under the old rate, without the service charge, they would pay $3.00 a month, he said. The percentage of consumers who use less than 2,000 cubic feet of gas has decreased every year since the present gas rate was adopted, he said. In 1923, 52 per cent of the gas users consumed less than 2,000 feet In 1924 the figure dropped to 40 per cent In 1926 it had fallen to 36 per cent and in 1927 to 31 per cent.
