No Gas Raise For Baxter Co Says Manager Grantham
Baxter Gas Co manager Grantham tells News the current gas rate agitation does not affect Baxter. Kansas Natural Gas Co asks Kansas Utilities for higher gas charges claiming a $174,000 loss last year. If granted, Columbus and Galena will see rates rise from 25 to 60 cents per thousand. Supply comes from Quapaw Gas Co and 25 cent rate stays if Utilities Commission sides with current decision. The Joplin Globe notes prewar Germany spent $250 million on war, and the U.S. pays about $450 million for its army including pensions. In this neighborhood 101 pensioners receive various sums and the money will circulate locally.
