Wheeling Gas Rate Dispute Prompts State Action
The Wheeling area gas rate case yields an 8 cent per thousand feet cut from 92 cents to 4 cents gross with 2 cents discount for prompt payment. The change, though separate from a longstanding civil suit, reflects calls for rate revisions and shows potential savings for consumers. The piece critiques current public service law and urges a local rate-contest to force further reductions. It also cites Henry Ford on wages, arguing wage levels hinge on labor demand, not optimism.
