Gas and light rate hike proposed by Georgia railroad commission
The Georgia Railroad Commission received an application to raise electricity and gas rates for lighting and power. Hearing set for March 24 at 10 a.m. in Atlanta, with public notice published. Increases include 25 to 33 1/3 percent for commercial lighting and up to 50 percent minimum charges, gas up to 17.5 cents per 100 cubic feet. No power-rate increase. Details show changes to minimum charges and per kilowatt hour rates across tiers, plus a general rise driven by higher costs. The request follows a city council rejection of an emergency pumping-station contract, manager Joe Johnson stating rising costs necessitated the move. The filing, tied to 6 percent return on investment and depreciation, cites coal, wages, and freight as factors. A legal notice for heirs of S J Wilson appears, noting an order for deed execution by executor C Douglas Wilson, to be heard May 5, 1920.
