WHEREAS, the City, having suspended the effective

accordance herewith, are those under which said Company
shall be authorized to render electric service and to
collect charges from its customers for the sale of electric
power and energy within the corporate limits of the City

modified, amended or withdrawn, with the approval of the
City Council.
PART 2: That TUEC shall f~le with the C~ty a revised
Schedule of Rates and Tariffs setting forth those rates,
tariffs, and charges based upon such decrease in total

after the adoption of this ordinance and it shall be un-
lawful for TUEC, its agents, servants or employees to
collect or attempt to collect higher rates within the City
of The Colony than are collected by TUEC within unin-
corporated areas.

cordance with Section 43 (e) of the Public Utility Regu-
latory Act.
