Defending the Monopoly over Gas Rates and Franchise
A letter argues against conflicting gas rate schemes by Northwest gas interests. It asserts a consistent charge of 200 per 1000 feet for lighting and 2 per 1000 feet for power, noting the quantity of gas is the same whether used for lighting or power. The writer accuses the Tribune of mischaracterizing the issue and condemns attempts to justify varied rates. The piece supports Pendleton seeking a gas plant and warns against monopoly imposition on residents.
