Utilities Commission Grants Gas Company Higher Temporary Rate Schedule Here
The Union Gas and Electric Company filed a formal complaint with the Ohio Public Utilities Commission in Columbus. The commission allows the old 1925 gas rate to stay until final disposition, sets August 4 for city objections and a final hearing date, and requires a $250000 bond to guarantee rebates if the decision favors the city. City Solicitor John D Ellis says the commission lacks jurisdiction and vows to contest the action. The filing cites a 1905 franchise, a 1925 rate ordinance, and a 1930 revised schedule alleged to extend beyond the franchise term.
