Mr.. Palmer's testimony 10 the senate

taken by the city until the statements
for April are due.
Will Arrest Official.
II the statements mailed out by the
gas and electric company charge a
higher rate than is provided for in the
ordinance, an arrest OF an official OF
the company will be made. Following
the trial in the municipal court the case
will be appealed to the district court
and from that court the city or
the gas company probably will appeal
to the supreme court for final decision
which will determine definitely which
body, the city commission or the state
corporation commission has the right
to regulate the rates OF public utilities
in cities of the first class
81 do not doubt that the ordi-
nance is legal and that we have the
right to regulate the electric light rates
In Oklahoma City," said Mr.. Walton
today. II base my opinion on an opm-
ion OF Judge Hayes. which was con-
Cured in by all other members OF the |
supreme court several years ago. in
which he stated that the city charters
provisions superseded all state laws
that were II not for this fact that there
would be no need OF city charter as
all city ordinances would be adopted
from the state code"
: Shear Not Decided.
Byron Shear, municipal counsellor,
said today that he has not as yet gone
into the consttutionality OF the ord-
nance and that until he did so he
would hesitate before giving an opinion
off hand.
"The supreme court Of Oklahoma has
held that generally the provisions Of the
city charter supersede all state laws,
but to my knowledge no question has
ever before been raised as to the
authority OF the city commissioners TO
change rates applicable to public utili-
tieS after they had been set by the state
corporation commission" said Mr..
Shear
Mr.. Walton said the rates provided in
the recent decision of the state corpora
tion commission would be charged by
the gas and electric company for the
month of March, and that he drafted
the ordinance changing the rates so it
would become effective April for this
reason.
There would have been a question
OF the constitutpnality of the ordinance
on the grounds that the ordinance must
not change rates for any service rem
dcsfd during the current month"
