No Reduction in Price of Gas Locally
The public utilities commission filed an opinion in Bridgeport Gas case finding no current rate cut, but a future reduction may come as returns are deemed liberal. Property value for rate making set at 3 million dollars, last year’s income 203 thousand dollars equals 6.75 percent of value. The commission notes past earnings surpassed seven percent annually. It cites 1902 purchase of Citizens' Gas property for over a million, despite court appraisals far lower, and warns against excess earnings being capitalized against consumers. Decision impacts Bridgeport taxation and local revenue, with no immediate rate cut but potential in coming years. An arson squad damaged a large vacant house in Birmingham, England. A polar bear at St. Louis Forest Park Zoo injured keeper Harry P. Zimmerman, 62.
