Long Beach area faces 1974 electric power shortages
City Manager R Mansell and a Special Committee on Energy Conservation warn that Southern California could see power shortages in 1974 unless fuel oil supplies improve. Edison plans staged curtailments from 8.5 to 6.5 million barrels, including roving blackouts and 15 hour weekly outages. Gas department chief Edward Wright sees adequate firm supply, with potential cutbacks for interruptible customers depending on gas acquisitions.
