Supreme Court Opinion On City Gas And Electricity Power
The Supreme Court answers the question of whether legislatures may empower cities to manufacture or purchase gas and electric light for public use and for sale to residents. It holds that furnishing lighting for streets and public buildings is a public service, and cities may be authorized to light by suitable methods, levy taxes, and set rates. The opinion discusses distinctions between public and private services and cites precedents on water supply as a parallel example.
