Most of these, including the distributors in such important centres as the two Kansas Cities, St. Joseph, Joplin, Leavenworth, Atchison, Topeka and Wichita, are also owned by Cities Service Gas Co. Governor Woodring contends that the wholesale rate of gas sold to Kansas City Gas Co. is 10?? too high at the present rate of 40¢ per 1,000-cu. ft., that lower commodity prices all around should find reflection in lower rates, that industrial consumers get gas cheaper from Cities Service than the city does.
