City Gas Price Cut Hangs on Neb Light Company Action
The Window’s Daily reports the council may reduce gas to $1.50 per thousand cubic feet if the Nebr a Light Company accepts the ordinance or tests its validity in court. The firm would rely on a street lighting contract to keep gas profitable while the electric light plant loses money. Company officials, including Superintendent Clabaugh, favor avoiding a dispute and hope lower rates boost gas demand. shutting down electric lighting is considered unlikely. The ordinance imposes a $50 fine per violation and may halt planned electric plant upgrades until a paying basis is found.
