Rehearing Sought in New York Gas Case Decree
Attorneys for New York Consolidated Gas urge rehearing in the Supreme Court, contending the decree is inconsistent with findings, ignores profits from abnormal sales, and shifts the entire cost of the litigation to the complainant. They argue that the court overestimated consumption and misapplied the 1895 law, risking drastic rate reductions without adequate relief.
