Light Company Seeks Injunction Against City Over Rates
The Citizens Railway and Light Company petitions for a provisional injunction to halt Muscatine City ordinances pegging gas and electric rates. It claims the proposed B and C measures would slash revenue, bankrupt the utility, violate the fourteenth amendment, and deprive shareholders of due process. The filing seeks final relief declaring the ordinances void and setting fair rates for gas and electricity.
