Wtdntiday Evening, May 10, 1950 SIDE GLANCES Fall River Firm Heads To Speak at Gas Hearing BOSTON, May (AP)--Executives of the Fall -River Gas Works company were called today to support Northeastern Gas Transmission corporation's bid for the right to distribute natural gas in New England. Northeastern said Anson L. Berryman, vice president of the Fall River plant, and Sales Manager Elbridge M.

Felch would be its next witnesses at a Federal Power commission hearing. The commission is the claims of Northeastern and Algonquin Gas Transmission company. Coal and oil interests also are represented at the hearing. Gov. Paul A.

Dover of Massachusetts told the commission yesterday that the state has no interest in either bidder but it wants natural gas "quick, plentiful and cheap." "We are working against a delay which is the avowed purpose of representatives of other fuels who want a monopoly of the New England market," the-'governor said, "and who would postpone as long as possible the blessings of free competition with natural gas." CHARLES G. YOUNG, vice president and general manager of the Springfield Gas Light company, testified yesterday that natural gas is "urgently needed." He said that his company is un- abie to meet the demands of its customers with the present system of manufactured gas. With natural gas. he said, the company sees an indicated saving of a year, which would allow for a rate cut of $400.000." Asked by Tom J. McGrath, counsel for coal and oil Interests, what the savings would mean to the average customer.

Young "we haven't got to that yet." Young said he considered natural gas as a "superior fuel" compared with coal or oil.
