High Temperatures Cause Power Fizzle
Ottawa faced widespread outages as a 105 degree heat wave pushed the city’s demand beyond capacity. City Manager Mills noted a 20,500 kw peak, with 6,000 kw drawn from KCP&L to cover the shortfall. A failed diesel generator and an unexplained drop in incoming power worsened the strain, prompting reminders to conserve energy. Local banks and the County Courts Building lacked cooling, while air conditioning businesses reported heavy demand and repairs for sensitive equipment. A hospital reported a heat stroke case amid the heat. County forecast called for mostly clear skies and cooler weekend.

Gas Supplies Called Rosy for Kansas in July
Kansas fuel allocation officer Lyle Goltz says refinery figures show 140 million gallons of gasoline will be available in July, up nine million from July 1979 but five million less than July 1978. June supply rose 31 million gallons over June 1979. He adds the supply should remain more than adequate given higher prices and ongoing conservation.
