Gas Trust Consolidation Bill Faces Constitutional Challenge

A Chicago Chronicle analysis contends the Gas Consolidation Act violates the state constitution by overstepping title limits and stripping cities of franchise authority. It details preexisting ordinances, bonds, and duties placed on firms like Consumers' Gas, Equitable Gas Light and Fuel, and their required rates and inspections, arguing the act allows a new monopoly and improper city relinquishment of street rights.
