Prairie Oil and Gas rates spark Amarillo debate
Nelson K. Moody of Prairie Oil and Gas signals effort to create a rate schedule reducing gas bills for most Amarillo households. The plan faces scrutiny as critics note two thirds of consumer payments flow to other Prairie affiliates while the Amarillo Gas company earns modestly. Citizens demand a broad honest reduction and question the eight cent well charge. Rumor of a national scandal swirls around a new ten dollar bill featuring an American treasury scene and a Ford automobile in the foreground.
