City wins rate appeal in Ohio utilities case
Edward F. Alexander returned from Dayton after the Appellate Court granted a writ in prohibition directing the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to strike the gas and electric company complaint against the city from its records. A hearing date was set for next Monday to review the case, a move seen as establishing a local jurisdiction precedent. The city contends the commission lacks authority since the franchise predates the commission’s formation. The gas company had appealed to the commission after rejecting City Council’s rate schedule, arguing unreasonableness could hurt consumers and the company’s business.
