(Ord. No. 84-78, § 1, 9-20-84)

Editor's note

Ord. No. 84-78, § 1, adopted September 20, 1984, repealed § 31-119 which established electric rates, and derived from the Code of 1960, § 18-48. Ord. No. 84-78 also enacted a new § 31-132 which has been redesignated as § 31-119 in order to maintain Code format. By the terms of Ord. No. 86-35, adopted June 26, 1986, the Houston Lighting and Power Company has filed a complete schedule of rates and tariffs with the city manager setting forth all of the company's rates and charges.
