Cohan. Detroit Edison's vice president and general counsel.

Delta County Bar Association Housing project given go-ahead GLADSTONE Tentative plans for future development of senior housing in the Buckeye school area may get underway soon after the city commission passed approval of rezoning Block Two of the Goodman Addition to Class Planned Unit Development. At the regular meeting Monday night, commissioners passed an ordinance which restricts future developments of housing to be built unless plans are first approved by the city. City Manager Howard Keeton said the property involved includes the old school and one residential house. The property owner was contacted, said Keeton, and voiced no opposition concerning the matter. In other business, the commission resolved to join six other counties in the formation of an area waste water development program coordinated through the Central Upper Peninsula Planning And Development (CUPPAD).

Yule services are scheduled GLADSTONE Two festive services have been scheduled at the First Lutheran Church, 1212 Min PSC turned it down, 3-0. Edison sought the charge to recover money it spent for fuel in December 1974 and January 1975. It did not charge customers for the fuel because of a 45-day lag in its accounting of the expense. The fuel adjustment clause allows utility companies to charge customers automatically for fuel if its price goes up. Edison's accounting system was changed in February to eliminate most of the lag, but Edison officials complained they never recovered some $26.3 million in fuel costs for the previous month and a half.

The three-man commission said today a surcharge on current customers for fuel used by possibly different former customers would be "neither fair nor appropriate." "Had fuel costs gone down during those two months, Edison would have benefitted," said PSC finance director Robert Demorest. "'I'm sure had that happened, Edison would not be here asking to refund that money to its customers." he said. The accounting system used by Edison would never have allowed the utility to recover its full fuel expense, since its collections from customers always lagged behind its expenses, the commission said. Assistant policy director Lawrence Owen said the system, also used by Consumers Power Co. for a time, inflated utilities' earnings on their books and kept their bond rating high.

Consumers Power Co. did not ask the PSC for a surcharge but absorbed the fuel expense not reimbursed by its customers, Demorest said.
