Re: Chapter 29, Ames Municipal Code
Gentlemen:
Enclosed herewith for your consideration is a proposed
ordinance providing for the repeal of Chapter 29 of the Ames Municipal
Code, which chapter purports to regulate rates to be charged for
natural gas sold in the City of Ames.
Effective July 4, 1963, the power to regulate rates to be
charged for natural gas sold by privately owned utilities in the City
of Ames was vested in the Iowa State Commerce Commission by
virtue of the Code of Iowa, Chapter 490A, entitled Public Utility
Regulation. And since that date Chapter 29 of the Ames Municipal
Code has had no force or effect. Its repeal is essentially a matter
of formality and is requested at this time for purpose of the recodi-
fication project.
Ver truly yours,
DONA LD L. SMITH
Assistant City Solicitor
