Gas Franchise Petition Sparks Clare Industrial Growth
The proposed natural gas franchise for Clare aims to attract industry by cutting costs up to fifty percent with a sliding rate. A special election on July 14 could bring twenty miles of pipelines and substantially boost local payroll through construction and appliance upgrades. The issue urges support from residents, especially women, and notes the existing Gas Corporation of Michigan as a preferred prover. Adoption requires a three-fifths vote.
