Private gas company SCAT rate disallowed
The Kansas state corporation commission denied Western Distributing Companys request to cut Halstead gas rates to match a new municipal plant. Chairman Hoch criticized the move as harming small independents and aiding rate hikes later. The city had funded the plant with 30,000 and denounced the private firms reluctance to reduce rates. The case ties into broader investigations into Cities Service and other gas distributors seeking rate reductions.
