PUC Orders Gas Company Rate Cuts
The Public Utility Commission ordered Peoples Natural Gas Co to trim basic rates by 1.19 million after overestimating its surcharge. The commission cited a March 10 order allowing surcharges to offset revenue losses from new taxes and noted about 170 utilities filed to recover taxes this way. A separate Seine Sears boycott ends as Sears commits to an affirmative action campaign targeting 30 percent black employees in Pittsburgh units and 15 percent elsewhere.
