Easterberg, chairman of the Public Utility committee, that application should be made by the Village for a reduction in gas rates in Winnetka. It. was decided, however, that before making a formal application for a re- duction to the Illinois Commerce Com- Shore Gas company to determine their mission, a conference should be ar- ranged with the officials of the North attitude on the question. It was pointed out that inasmuch as the Village is now reducing its electric rates, the Gas company might reason- ably be expected to follow suit.
