No Rate Reductions in Public Service warned by Simpson
James Simpson reports to the Illinois Commerce Commission that further rate cuts for gas and electric service are impossible due to rising taxes and expenses.

He notes uncontrollable costs are rising fast and that estimated gross earnings for 1938 would fall, with tax increases driving over 25 million dollars less income versus 1930.
