Saint Johns City Considers Portland Gas Franchise
The St Johns Council debates granting Portland Gas Company a 25 year franchise to lay mains across streets and public places, with rates not exceeding one dollar and twenty five cents per thousand cubic feet. Construction must begin within 30 days of acceptance, or the council may forfeit the franchise and security bonds. Public meetings highlighted civic unity and scrutiny of council members Windle Bonham Miller and Hunter.
