Street Improvement May Be Held Up Now
Pomeroy June 4. The village council repealed a Saturday night gas rate ordinance and substituted a new measure after a “sleeper” found in the original would have raised rates. The dispute delayed Main Street improvements and prompted swift council action amid public protests. The gas company warned the substitute would be rejected and promised an immediate rate demand, as highway and municipal officials debated funding and timing. The council’s repeal and replacement aimed to keep the project alive while conditions are resolved.
