Courts Rule 80-Cent Gas Tax Law Unconstitutional in NY
New York December 21 Judge Hough of the U S district court ruled the 80 cent gas law unconstitutional citing discrimination between private consumers and New York City and that the law would deny a fair return. The case originated with Consolidated Gas Co challenging the law after referee Arthur Masten upheld most arguments. The ruling invites appeal and may reach the Supreme Court as the gas trust seeks to preserve 80 cent pricing. Judge Hough also trimmed asset valuations, reducing tangible assets to 47 million and franchise value to 12 million.
