Happenings of a Day in Lake County's Lively Capital

The minimum monthly rate was established at 50 cents Instead of the $1.60 at first asked by the petitioner. In the event of the annulment of the Spencer-Shlvely public utility act the council provides for a board of arbitration to settle the differences arising between the city and company as to future rates, etc., when not controlled by the above publie utilities commission, thus giving the city recourse to adequate protection j against any future infringement by the gas company were it so disposed.
