In Columbus Ohio the plan to speed up settlement of gas price disputes was halted due to disagreement on applying fixed gas company valuations to 12 other city cases. The Ohio Public Utilities Commission had consolidated cases with a Dec. 31 1934 valuation as the base, but the date certain for each city varies. The method for adjusting valuations remains undefined, resisting price trend methods in favor of actual revaluation to a fixed date.
