UTILITIES BOARD FOR REFUND
State Commission Believes the Excess
Natural Gas Rate Should Be
Returned to Consumer.

The Kansas Utilities Commission is
confident that consumers on the lines
of the Kansas Natural Gas Company
are entitled to a refund OF all the
money paid the companies above the
twenty-eight cents a thousand feet
fixed by the commission. The com
mission received an unofficial copy of
the decision of the supreme court Of
the United States recently, and from
that the commission believes there is
no doubt of the right to the refund Of
the excess charges. John M. Kinkel,
chairman Of the commission, gave out
the following statement, indicating
the attitude of the commission:
"An unofficial copy of the opinion
Of the supreme court has been re-
ceived and now is being analysed by
our attorney, Fred S. Jackson On
the whole, it appears that the court
has sustained the commission on the
main points involved in the case and
has definitely decided that the distri-
button of gas under local franchises
is not interstate commerce, and that
such distribution is subject to the ju-
risdiction and control Of this commits
sion.
Since both the temporary and per-
manent injunction DEGREES have been
reversed, there can be no doubt of the
customers right to a refund Of the
excess rates paid over the 2S-cent rate
established by this commission.
Immediately upon receipt of an Of
fetal copy of the opinion the commits
sion will make a further and complete
statement in regard to the entire case
for the benefit of the public"
