City Commission Hears Higher Electric and Gas Rates Proposal
The San Antonio Public Service Company seeks rate increases to cover rising material and labor costs. At the initial hearing, company books were opened to justify claims and a continuation was set for 8 PM. Proposed electricity increases average eight percent for home use, with up to 40 percent for certain power customers, and gas rates would rise by about 1000 cubic feet. Company officials cited a 30 percent rise in fuel costs and added machinery investments to relieve old equipment. The commission noted the changes aim to cover production costs, not windfall profits, and reviewed the company’s long history of rate reductions since 1902. A separate fire at the Kingsport chemical plant caused extensive damage but no deaths.
