Gas expansion to Ephrata Akron eyed by Lititz Manheim & Ephrata Gas Co
The Lititz Manheim and Ephrata Gas Company seeks to supply gas to Ephrata and Akron by spring 1920. Plans include a receiver and mains at a cost about 26000 dollars, with a canvass underway to secure 300 or more customers and finance the project. The line from Lititz to Akron was only partially completed due to finances, leaving the towns without gas. Residents hope the venture will extend to nearby towns without much extra overhead. A separate note recounts two Lititz youths quarreling over dog use, arranging a neutral mediator to fix schedules.
