Company, 220 West Colfax Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, has indicated that on November 28, 1983, the Indiana Public Service Commission approved changes in the "terms of contract" for tariff. LGS. The initial term is still one (1) year, but the cancellation clause is now six (6) months at any time after the initial one (1) year term.
