In relation to the public hearing the City Council was informed by the counsel that the date of hearing was set to conform with the requirements of the Public Utility Regulatory Act of the State of Texas, but that.due to conflicting scheduling before the Public Utility Commission a continuance from the hearing date set to a more appropriate date would probably be subsequently required. velyn GOfga City Secretary-Treasureil EG/pg Enclosures xc: Mr. Dale Johnson McWhorter, Cobb & Johnson 1502 Avenue Q _ - - Lubbock, Texas 79401
