The original rates were taken from a bulletin rf-the American Gas Association, Inc. Here's the Proof The so-called -correct rstes demonstrate beyond Ques tion that North Carolina is the goat, has been the goat, and will continue to be the goat until the Corporation Commission affords relief. Out of the twenty rates quoted only three are as high as the rstes under; fire in Rsleigh, Winston-Salem, Durham and Wilmington. Not a one of them is aa high as the rste for Elizabeth City, Goldsboro, Washington, New Bern, Oxford, or Henderson. Compare Them Here they are, with the North Carolina rates beneath.
