Gas price debate spurs reform talk in Chicago
Alderman Julius Goldgier urges municipal control to curb gas charges arguing much of the charged fuel is air rather than gas. He proposes a legal method to reduce rates or require real gas delivery, while Alderman Blake seeks a formal ordinance setting 70 cents for illuminating gas and 60 cents for fuel gas, with court tests on council power. The Hamilton Club elected officers, and ward politics hint at Alderman Mathis’ renomination plans.
