Athens Council considers Hasselman electric survey findings
Consulting engineer Hasselman presented a city owned electric plant survey to Athens council noting costs of 476 450 for a municipal system. He claimed it could cut current charges by 5 8 7 cents per kilowatt hour and would be self sustaining with potential tax revenue to the city. The report called for larger street lights and expansion of lighting on streets with existing cables. The council approved new street lights and eight fund-transfer ordinances for December expenses.
