City seeks details on new gas rate rise
A city commission motion directs the city attorney to obtain end figures from Kansas Public Service Co regarding a proposed gas heating rate increase. Mayor Spalding said the state corporation commission was asked to investigate but regulation rests with the city via the franchise. The panel also denied raw milk producers permission to source and bottle Grade A milk elsewhere, citing the ordinance. Kansas Electric Power Co accepted the franchise ordinance effective next week, paving street work with Massachusetts Street last.
