The California commission argued prices should reflect economic trends and not be confiscatory. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of Los Angeles Gas and Electric, saying the public has not underwritten the investment and that property values may rise or fall with conditions. The decision paves the way for lower public service charges in West Virginia, with commissioner dissent by C E Nethkeni. The rate of valuation set at 4 703 519 on a 4 746 174 basis of the company’s depreciated property values, minus working capital and meters, was highlighted. The commission urged future consideration amid economic chaos and uncertain forecasts.

It found the domestic rate of 52 cents per thousand cubic feet earned $233,140.95 in 1931, about 4.75 percent on a $4.70 million valuation after expenses, taxes, and depletion. The commission ruled this return is not unreasonable and kept existing rates.
