Petition Filed to Lower Linton Electric Rates
A group led by Arthur Symms and ten residents of Linton filed with the Indiana Public Service Commission for a substantial reduction in light and power charges by Linton Municipal Light and Power. A public hearing is anticipated in late September. Symms argues municipally owned utilities are taxed differently and can be priced to cover operating expenses and depreciation, with predicted rates near five cents per kWh for lighting and two cents for heating and cooking.
