Iowa Illinois Seeks Rehearing On Refund Order
Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric Co will file for rehearing with the Iowa Commerce Commission after a order granting about two thirds of its requested rate increases. The commission allowed retention of about 64 percent of general gas and electric increases collected from Iowa customers March 4 1974 to March 41 1976 subject to refund. President Dean R Stichnoth criticized the refund figures and said the company plans to seek continued collections at present levels while deferring a refund plan until the rehearing outcome. The commission has 20 days after filing to act on the rehearing request.
