City approves stoker installation at disposal plant
City Engineer W Raymond Walter confirms the War Production Board granted priority for a stoker to replace an oil burner at the disposal plant.

The city may seek a referendum in the June triannual elections on buying power from Potomac Edison. The Board of Aldermen favored discussion at tonight’s meeting, hoping the vote would settle years of debate over utility purchases and city policy. The current plan extends a three month half generation at the one cent per kilowatt rate, with extension likely contingent on the emergency state. An aldermanic ordinance could authorize a power purchase referendum without state act involvement.
