SUPREME COURT DECISION
IN NEW XoRK GAS CAST

Washington, March 6.-The New York
state law OF 1896 which provided that
gas should be furnished consumers in
New York city at a price not in excess
of eighty cents per thousand cubic feet
was declared by the supreme court to be
conhscatory as to gas furnished during
1918 and 1919.
The opinion which was unanimous and
was delivered by Justice McReynolds In
three cases brought by Il e attorney gem
eral of New York held that rate max
ing is no function of the courts and
should not be attempted either directly
or Indirectly 1t sustained, however,
the decision Of the United States district
court which held the prescribed rate "hao
been confiscatory since January l, 1915
and would continue to SO be-"
Separate opinions also unanimously
delivered by Justice McReynolds in the
Kings County Lighting Company and the
! New York and Queens Gas Company
cases. In the former case Justice Nc
Renolds said I'VE are satisfied that the
court below reached a correct conclu-
/, sion and that none of the points relied
/ tify such action
$50 far as substantial" he added. "aH
were adequately disposed Of by the
opinion of the trial court and we need
| not comment further upon them
An equally brief opinion was delivered
! in the New York and Queens Gas case
which found that the statutory rate of 81
per thousand which that company was
permitted to charge for gas in the third
ward had been confscatory since Jan,
. uary 1, 1919. The court announced Il
could find no sufficient ground for dis
approving the action taken" by the tria
court.
The court pointed out in the Consoli
dated cases that the company had sup
piled gas at the prescribed rate fol
many years but on January Is. 1918
challenged the statutory rate. After re
viewing the masters findings and tn
decision of the district court. and 1t
subsequent modifying orders, Justice Nc
Reynolds reprimanded the "in'efensibl
practice" which had brought into tn
supreme court record of 81 volume
composing twenty thousand printed pae
es of matter without present value.
This brought from the court the an
nouncement that 1--WE shall hereafter fee
at liberty to punish to the limitof on
discretion possibly by dismissal OF tn
appear cases where such practices az
followed.
