Nelsonville Council to study compromise gas rate tonight
A special Nelsonville City Council meeting is set for 7 tonight at the City Building to consider a compromise gas ordinance. The measure seeks two more years of the present rate, then tiered charges for usage, with an optional two-year extension, after the gas company rejected the proposed rate and may appeal to the Public Utilities Commission.

The Gas Question An Editorial
The piece commends the City Administration and City Council for handling the gas rate controversy. It supports the proposed two year rate hold and a third year at a higher level with a possible extra two years, noting the Gas Company may appeal to the Public Utilities Commission. The editorial argues delaying the inevitable has been the council’s approach and urges local settlement while acknowledging the likelihood of higher rates elsewhere.
