Athens Gas Rates Held Under New Ohio Fuel Ordinance
The Athens city council passed an emergency ordinance fixing gas rates for six years with no increase for four years and a rise in years five and six. About 3,250 customers would save roughly $19,000 under the contract, benefiting smaller users who are 85 percent of customers. The plan includes detailed tiered rates and a $19,000 operating appropriation drawn from parking meters, motor vehicle and gas taxes. A garbage disposal plan was discussed and a local franchise may be awarded if a suitable local plan is presented. New councilman-at-large R. H. White was sworn in replacing Dr. R. J. Studer.
