Judge Wade Rules Franchise Rates Remain In Force
Federal Judge Martin J. Wade in Iowa City rules that rates fixed by franchise ordinances for gas and electric services cannot be raised despite war prices. The decision covers five rate cases involving several cities and utilities, upholding the binding nature of franchise terms and limiting a city’s power to alter rates except where law permits. The ruling emphasizes public confidence in contracts and notes possible policy favoring regulated contracts in smaller towns.
