Magers City Seeks Right to Erect Municipal Light Plant
A three point argument wrapped up before Judge Frank G. Wag aman over Magers citys bid to build a municipal electric light plant. The case questions whether the city may proceed without Public Service Commission permit, use land owned by the Sewerage Commission, and rely on a 1921 act exempting Hagerstown from PSC jurisdiction. City attorneys cited lower electric costs from Hagerstown, which operates its own plant, to justify the project. Opponents argued the Hagerstown exemption is special legislation, forbidden by the Maryland constitution, and that construction on sewer land and PSC approval are required.
