Gasoline Measure Stalls in Committee Amid Low Quorum
In a council session with only 15 of the required 19 members, Feffenbarger failed to push through a gasoline regulation ordinance. The measure was sent to the ordinance committee for revisions. The council also voted to withhold new building permits for a gasoline plant near the Kanawha City bridge until the ordinance is acted upon. The proposal would ban transfers of gasoline directly from railroad cars or barges to storage tanks.
