Two Ohio councilmen oppose three year gas rate plan
Councilmen Carl Curtis and W G Smith plan strenuous opposition to a three year rate proposal by Ohio Fuel Gas Co. They favor a two year ordinance using the first two years.

Curtis notes the average over three years would be higher than 1928, highlighting the risk to residents.
