WHEREAS, as part of this request, the Gas Company proposes
to increase the service establishm?~t fee from $5.00 to $35.00,

in services without corresponding reductions in rates,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Common
Council of the City of San Bernardino do hereby strongly oppose
the Southern California Gas Company's proposal to consolidate and
