GAS HEARING is ON TODAY
Final Act in Nine Years of Litigation
Before Industrial Court.

O(AOEC OOAIl-
Z What is expected to be the final act
in nine years of litigation over nat
ural gas rates in Kansas was opened
here today in a hearing before the
state industrial relations court. The
hearing pertains to the twenty seven
Kansas cities and towns which use the
product of the Wichita Natural Gas
company. The session probably will
continue several days.
On July % the Kansas municipali-
ties using the product Of the Kansas
Natural Gas company will have a
hearing before the court. More than
thirty cities and towns in Kansas will
be represented at this hearing.
The federal courts are now uni
formly agreed that these gas rates
should be settled in state tribunals
rather than in distant federal courts. "
said Judge Clyde NJ Reed of the in
dustria1 court THE history of the
cases has been one of long drawn out
litigation an end to which is now in
sight. Scores of attorneys have been
retained in the drawn-out litigation
and I believe they all are about &c
| lose their jobs-at least as far as the
gas litigation is concerned"
Altho the cities using the Wichita
Natural product are still under the
4 "27 cent rate" this rate has been re-
vised upwards thru orders of the
| United States district court which re-
quired the local distributing com
panies to pay more for gas to the pro
ducing companies. At present the
consumers are paying under a tive
way rate: So a month service fet
and 80 cents a thousand feet for gas
or, so cents a month service fee and
| so cents a thousand.
Local distributing companies Of tbs
Kansas Natural companys product il
Topeka, Lawrence. Kansas. AtchisoI
lard Leavenworth have applied to tn
court for an increase in the s0-cen
rate now operating. Both the Kansas
Natural and Wichita Natural com
panies are properties Of the Henry Do
/ herty interests.
| The Industrial court now claims tur
isdiction to fix both the rate the dis
tributing company is TO pay to tn
