Free Fuel Involved in Court Action in Meigs County
An injunction suit filed in common pleas court by the Meigs County Board of Commissioners seeks to stop gas service cut to the Meigs County Children's Home. The petition details a lease with Albert N. Bengel dating to 1932 that allowed drilling and free gas up to 200000 cubic feet, with charges for excess gas. It claims Bengel failed to list or pay taxes on the gas well and presented disputed bills for gas use, threatening disconnection unless a July 21 1941 bill is paid.
