Staggering Gas Works Losses Write-Down At Forbes Council
Forbes Municipal Council met to review an auditor’s report on the gasworks. The year’s gas output reached 9,754,000 feet, with 1,955,380 feet wasted or unaccounted for. Costs rose, while revenue grew modestly, leaving a deficit and a looming need to raise gas prices or cut wastage to avoid municipal withdrawal from the undertaking.
