Ottawa Commission OKs fuel adjustment rate measure
Ottawa City Commission votes unanimously to approve a fuel adjustment rate to pass on extra fuel costs from operating the municipal power plant. Mayor Zook says the charge is not a rate increase and will add about 75 cents to $1.50 monthly for average homes, effective December 1. The meeting also covered energy conservation efforts, a potential community center with the school board, a lease with the Recreation Commission for park facilities, Elm Street paving hearing set for December 19, Ottawa Student Leadership Day on December 5, and a Christmas parade scheduled for tonight.

Skylab Gyro Loss Tests Space Station Flight
The Skylab Station lost a control gyro but can operate on the remaining two. If another gyro fails, mission control may manage for about 20 more days before astronauts must return to Earth. Flight Director Phil Shaffer noted the odds of dual gyro failure were very low, and engineers investigate the cause of the bearing-like failure.
