The Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company signed a three year contract with the City of Hope to supply gas to the Hope Water and Light Plant on a sliding scale, averaging near ten cents per thousand cubic feet from 1937 to 1940. Negotiations led to a new agreement reducing the rate to five cents per thousand cubic feet starting February 26 1940, with the city asserting leverage from Malvern gas sales. The dispute centered on whether the city would continue paying the prior rate until September 1940 or switch earlier based on rival gas pricing.
