Gas Price Not Fixed by Court in New York Case
Judge Hough of the U S Circuit Court declined to fix a constitutional gas rate, saying no court can set a rate. He pegs New York gas assets at 59,831,435 dollars with 12 million in franchises and 0.6 percent return, urging appeal to the U S Supreme Court. The decision leaves 8 cents per thousand feet as confiscatory, while noting 4 percent is not acceptable for gas investment.
