To Consolidate Two Gas Cases TOPEKA
The Kansas Corporation Commission will consolidate an investigation of Gas Service Co rates with its application for a rate increase. Gas Service filed the consolidation motion at the opening of a formal hearing in the general rate inquiry ordered about 14 months ago. The company seeks a $4,050,000 annual increase. Attorneys say evidence will be identical, as both cases aim to determine fair rates for the state's largest gas distributor. Most of the session focused on procedural steps and the hearing adjourned to a date to be set.
