Attitude on Charter Revisions Explained by Member
Don Holstein discusses the City Commission charter revision process while noting he cannot speak for the committee. He explains the committee’s role is to study the charter, solicit citizen input, and propose revisions reflecting public needs, not to push a tailored charter for any group. He cites time concerns and the influence of the Association of City Managers, and defends the committee’s approach against criticism from Marvin Clark.

Need For Greater Gas Transmission Facilities In Miami Valley Cited Before Power Commission
William L. McGrath of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce Industrial Committee testified before the Federal Power Commission in Washington urging approval of a 26 inch 800 mile Texas Gas Transmission pipeline from Carthage Texas to the Big and Little Inch stations southeast of Middletown. He cited 28 Cincinnati area manufacturers using 85 percent of regional gas and said shutdowns due to shortages cost at least 13,000 jobs from mid January to end February. The proposal would also expand routes through Kentucky Ohio Pennsylvania to serve Buffalo Atlantic Seaboard and Virginia gas markets.
