City Council Examines Gas Rates and Local Issues
The Albuquerque city council met after a holiday postponement to hear a relief request over high fuel gas rates from the Albuquerque Gas Electric Light & Power company. The body also addressed the Monte Carlo attachment case, street grade petitions on Waller street, Hazeldine and Stover nuisance concerns, and a curfew tower donation. A new fire circle ordinance was approved in two zones, while sewer plans urged bond funding for a new system and a $1,200 pump. Alderman Beaven sought a $30 refund for barber John Boswell, pursued as justice, not charity.
