Severe winter forces gas rations on local industry
The Crane Co on Cass Street is told to cut natural gas use by about 10 percent eight months ago. Plant manager R L Haley says boilers have been converted to run on natural gas or fuel oil and only a severe winter could disrupt pollution control devices. Industry-wide, officials say supplies should hold unless winter is very harsh, with several plants awaiting official word on whether shortages will affect operations.
