face as a rebuff of the city'S claims
that the tangle in which the city and

Improvement by the mayor and com

The ruling from Attorney General
Brundaee, which is expected to fix
finally whether or not the utilities
commission will assume jurisdiction
over the controversy. is being anX-
iously awaited by the mayor before
he decides on the next steps to bc
taken in the matter.
