City Commission cites gas rate protection for Lawrence
At a regular meeting Mayor May and Commissioner Rankin pledged that Lawrence residents will be fully protected in the gas rate dispute. They said action will await data on the gas company’s financial and physical status, potentially costing the city 3000 to 5000 dollars for an investigation. Governor Reed advised delaying action until a new utilities commission is appointed to curb Dougherty interests. The League of Kansas Municipalities helped gather materials, with funds partly from Lawrence, to be used when a formal hearing is arranged. The commission stressed that the difference in gas costs is likely between the producing field and the gate rather than company to consumer.
