Gas Rate Hike Looms for Graettinger Residents
Graettinger residents face an 8.68 percent gas rate increase, about $1.22 monthly for typical homes, due to a 15 percent wholesale rise from Northern Natural Gas Co. The town absorbs January February costs. March 1 billings reflect the increase. The move follows earlier wholesale hikes since 1961. Also noted are commendations to James Skattebo, a Fort Hamilton graduate, and Lloyd R. Smith announcing Graettinger Community School District audit results for 1969 70.
