The Indiana Supreme Court ruled that only Indianapolis can regulate the commercial value of natural gas. Other towns cannot later lower rates once set in a franchise, and gas companies may set charges for unspecified services within reasonable bounds. The decision aligns with the Louisville case and revises prior Rushville outcomes, voiding Noblesville’s 1900 ordinance while upholding 1888 terms for Noblesville Gas and Improvement Company. It also discusses vested rights from 1886 franchise and notes related tax and bond rulings by the court and appellate court decisions on transient merchants and county treasurers.
