Gas price cut sparks townwide celebration in Americus
Gas and electric plant transfer to Americus Railway and Light Co. brought a January 1 price cut to 1.50 per thousand for illuminating gas and 1.25 for fuel gas, down from 2.00 and 1.75. Customers celebrated as meters hummed, with neighbors invited to view brighter homes and old feuds fading. Lawyers and Board of Trade officials traveled to Atlanta to discuss the reduction, delaying a Railroad Commission hearing until January 7.
