Action Against 90-Cent Gas Fails
Des Moines case ends with federal court refusing to grant a temporary injunction to block a 90-cent gas rate set to take effect November 15 1912 unless the Supreme Court intervenes. The city and its lawyers expect the high court to deny relief and allow the lower rate to stand. The gas firm may keep 110000 collected above the old rate while posting 160000 bond to repay customers if the 90-cent rate is later upheld.
