City Commission to Hear Gas Franchise Amendment
The Amarillo city commission will consider a second reading of a gas franchise ordinance and accept bids for paving three streets and curb and gutter work. The proposed gas measure allows city and Amarillo ISD schools to be billed under a single meter for the lowest rate, and the Amarillo Gas Company may extend the same rate to schools outside city limits. Bids Tuesday include West Twenty sixth Avenue paving from Washington to Hayden, East Tenth Avenue from Arthur to Williams, and South Ong Street from Thirteenth to Fourteenth.
