Auction of former JB plant planned
County commissioners plan a free and clear sale of the former Johnson Bronze Co. property on South Mill Street via the Tax Claim Bureau this fall. The 8.3 acre site has a $230000 mortgage and a $30000 lien, with potential additional liens under review by a county solicitor. Hazardous waste from the plant remains a liability, and the sale will reveal any new interest.

Utility seeks another rate hike for Penn Power
Pennsylvania Power Co filed an 86.3 million rate increase request with the Public Utility Commission, following a denied 70.9 million proposal and a 13 million rate cut. The plan would raise average customer bills about 15.4 percent annually for four years, with a 7 to 12 dollar monthly rise for a 500 kilowatt hour residential use. The company seeks four annual retail rate increases and expects no change before May 1988, pending hearings. The request centers on commercial operations at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant Unit I near Cleveland, where startup tests are near completion and full operation is expected this fall.
