PUC Fights To Hold Weapon As Utility Club
Harrisburg Oct 14 The public utility commission laid ground for a last ditch fight to retain its power over utilities. Using the 1937 PSC law to impose temporary rates pending litigation the commission has forced six utilities to collect over 5.26 million dollars annually from customers. One company faces a 2.8 million dollar annual saving in 2 percent counties by Oct 28 under a temporary rate order. The Pennsylvnia Power and Light Co of Allentown stands affected. Edison Light and Power Co and Beaver Valley Water Co appealed to court over the order. The Edison firm, allied with Associated Gas and Electric, saw a U S district court ruling void the commission’s temporary rate authority.
