Lighting Company Faces Multi Hundred Thousand Losses
The Westchester Lighting Company with gas service in Greenacres Scarsdale predicts a 1920 loss of 340000 in its gas department. A rise of oil prices by 0.5 cents per gallon on January first could add 450000 to the deficit unless costs drop or relief is granted by the Public Service Commission. President Frank A Stratton plans to seek a 60 cent monthly service charge on meters in White Plains to offset costs, noting the residence meter cost runs 7 to 8 dollars yearly. If approved this revenue would offset operating losses, though the oil price rise would still widen the deficit. A coal price drop would help by lowering production costs and increasing gas use for heating.
