Acton Public Utilities Considers Power Restrictions and Deficit
The Acton Public Utilities Commission held a bi monthly meeting chaired by C M Hansen. Officials discussed meters testing by the Internal Revenue Inspection Department finding meters within accuracy. The board weighed removing restrictions but backed keeping them due to a near 2000 kilowatt hour daily deficit if usage rises. They planned talks with a hotel representative and reviewed finances showing monthly power costs exceed revenue. Water charges remained unchanged. Arrears were reviewed and several accounts approved for payment.
