SAFE AND ADEQUATE SERVICE: JUST AND REASONABLE CHARGES:
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION : UNREASONABLE PREFERENCE.

SEC. 31 1/2. Every gas corporation and every electrical corpo-
ration shall furnish and provide such service, instrumentali-
ties and facilities as shall be reasonably safe and adequate and
in all respects just and reasonable. All charges made or de-
manded by any such gas corporation and electrical corporation
for gas, electricity or any service rendered or to be rendered,
shall be just and reasonable and not more than allowed by law
or by order of the Commission; "and all Acts or parts of Acts
heretofore passed and now existing, prescribing or limiting
the price at which any gas corporation or electrical corpora-
tion, or any other corporation subject to this Act, may furnish,
sell or dispose of its gas or electricity or other product or
utility are hereby repealed, it being the intent of this Act that
the powers of the Commission herein created to ascertain the
price of such gas or electricity or other product of utility as
provided for herein, shall supersede all such Acts or parts of
Acts aforesaid." Every unjust or unreasonable charge made
or demanded for gas, electricity or any such service, or in con-
nection therewith, or in excess of that allowed by law or by the
order of the Commission, is prohibited.

No gas corporation or electrical corporation shall directly or
indirectly, by any special rate, rebate, drawback or other de-
vice or method, charge, demand, collect or receive from any
person or corporation a greater or less compensation for gas or
electricity, or for any service rendered, or to be rendered, or
in connection therewith, except as authorized in this Act, than
it charges, demands, collects or receives from any other person
or corporation for doing a like and contemporaneous service
with respect thereto, under the same or substantially similar
circumstances or conditions.

No gas corporation or electrical corporation shall make or
grant any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to
any person, corporation or locality, or to any particular de-
scription of service in any respect whatsoever, or subject any
particular person, corporation or locality or any particular
description of service to any undue or unreasonable prejudice
or disadvantage in any respect whatsoever.
