Gas Consumers Will Get Refund In Supreme Court Ruling
Near $200,000 will be refunded to gas users served by the Georgia Railway and Power Co and the Atlanta Gas Light Co in Atlanta and nearby areas after the U S Supreme Court upheld a Georgia Public Service Commission order lowering gas rates. The refund covers the difference from January 1, 1922, with an initial $169,000 slated to be returned and additional amounts to be determined as May bills are reconciled.
