Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by the State Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas (Commission) from an order of the district court reversing an order of the Commission whereby the Commission had claimed jurisdiction over the issuance of revenue bonds for the operation of a gas utility by the City of Wichita (City). The district court found the statute by which the Commission claimed jurisdiction was unconstitutionally vague. The City, by Ordinance No. 33-090, established the Wichita Gas Utility for the purpose of furnishing gas service to Wichita commercial, industrial, educational, and governmental customers during periods of curtailment. The ordinance was later amended by No. 33-938 to clarify that the purpose was to provide service in the event of curtailment or interruption of service by existing private utility companies, and not to compete directly with private companies. A Gas Distribution Contract was entered into between the City and the Gas Service Company.
