i well known Morgantown Attorney who is associate
with Attorney General England in the SteptOe amendmer
case before the u S. Supreme Court had been infome
that he case is now ready to be called The Morgantow
Post added the following information:
An interesting point likely to have an i'm
portant bearing on the Steptoe constitutional
iy case was brought up in the Supreme court
recently, Mr. John said 1t appears that the
Pennsylvania Gas company transports gas
produced in Pennsylvania about fifty miles
through that state and FIVE miles into New
York where gas is furnished the city Of James
town. The Pennsylvania Gas company denied
the right Of the New York public service COM
mission to determine rates or conditions Of
service Of the gas In Jamestown, N Y. on the
ground that such action would be interefer-
ence with Interstate commerce. In this posi-
ton, that gas company has been upheld by
decisions of the Pennsylvania public service
commission and the Pennsylvania Superior
court.
When the case between New York and
Pennsylvania was called up in the Supreme
court the inconsistent stand of Pennsylvania
was brought to the attention of the Supreme
court, and several Of the justices made spe-
cal note Of the point and asked in what vol
ume the decision of the decision of the Penn
sylvana Superior court in the case at issue
might be found.
