Thurmont Faces 25 Percent Power Rate Increase
Thurmont officials were told Potomac Edison will file with the Federal Power Commission by Nov 1, 1975 to seek a 25 percent rise in the town’s wholesale electric rate. The town plans to oppose the hike, potentially with joint action with Hagerstown, Williamsport, Chambersburg, Mt. Alto, and other PE wholesale customers. If filed, FPC action takes up to 30 days to grant or suspend, with Maryland PSC review and possible interference in hearings.

Congress debates deficit budget in Senate and House
The Senate Budget Committee will start work next week on a federal budget for the current year, while the House panel approved a version with a 72 billion dollar deficit. The House plan projects expenditures of 373.8 billion and revenues of 301.8 billion, with forecasts tied to tax cuts and offshore oil lease gains. The differences may be resolved by a conference committee as the two sides trend toward similarity amid an improving economy and inflation effects.
