COURTS SPEAK
A State Supreme Court de-

rights to regulate telephone
rates for “extended metropoli-
tan area service.” The high
court upheld an intermediate .
House court finding that a city
has no inherent power to regu-
late utility rates, but only that
granted by the legislature.
The Supreme Court also af-
firmed a $130,194 damage judg-
ment against a Houston finance -
firm following the death of a
