Denton Retains Miles to Reopen Hearing on Power Purchase
The town of Denton hires attorney Clarence W. Miles to press the Public Service Commission to reopen hearings on purchasing power for a sewage pumping station. Mayor Alfred W. Reddish says Miles will seek extra testimony and that an appeal would follow if the PSC denies the request. The case centers on buying from Eastern Shore Public Service versus Choptank Electric Cooperative with a cheaper municipal rate, though the pumping site lies outside town limits and within Choptank’s service area. Senator Harry Hughes proposes authorizing an 11 member commission as reapportionment looms.
