10 Year Gas Contract Cuts City Fuel Costs
The Hope city council approved a one year contract with Louisiana Nevada Transit to supply natural gas for the municipal water and light plant at 10 cents per thousand cubic feet, about a one third savings and an estimated yearly saving of 7500 dollars, with a 10 year total around 75000 dollars. The deal depends on Federal Power Commission approval for a line from Cotton Valley, Louisiana to Okay, Arkansas. If granted, the line would serve Texarkana Texas Hope Water Light Plant Temple Cotton Oil Hope Brick Works and Okay Cement. Officials expect a favorable ruling as survey work proceeds and contracts are drawn. The council also discussed acquiring the Hope plant of Arkansas Louisiana Gas to create a city operated distribution system.
