Community gamers plan subscription and loan for project
The group has several thousand dollars saved in the treasury and all members are enrolled with live interest in the project. A new funds drive by subscription is proposed to raise more, followed by a long term loan to reach the required total.
Electric rate cut approved by water and light commission
The water and light commission reduced the electricity basis rate for lighting from 12 to 10 cents per 2000 watt hours, effective April 1. The same minimum charge and prepayment discounts remain, and the move aims to make electric light more affordable while keeping department profits and funds to the general fund. A future shift will have the electric light office stop handling fixtures and supplies, with a downtown store possibly opened by a private firm.
