Instructions OF tho ordinances and
filed complaint against tho Seat.
lie Lighting Co. chsrelng that the
rates were too high.
Tho complaint was heard By The

ciarcd that II found tho oompany's

Tho board held that these returns
are not unreasonable.
The rate suit Is the third suit

In 1920 the company attempted TO
reduce the 'B. t. o." quality OF It's
gas.
The city fought this move. but on
