Power outage sparks town wide phone conference
Last night a west north and east power failure caused a flood of calls to the plant. Overloaded dial lines led to a conference call among callers. City Manager Deane Wiley issued an emergency order to reach crews as power cut about 35 minutes in several areas. Fire lights stayed on, KIUL studio lacked transmitter power, and church lanterns kept a party going. Furnaces cooled then surged when power returned, straining gas pressure and pilots. In Rome, Italy, doctors walked out over a bill giving government power to set medical fees.
