Amherst light plant exec warns city owes $33,000 bill
Amherst officials hear from light plant superintendent Henry Gordon that the city has not paid its electric bill since 1954 for street lighting and other uses. He says auditors may question the discrepancy between power distributed and revenue received. Mayor Davis says the city would bill back for administrative services, but legal limits prevent charging more than 10 percent of the utility revenue. Gordon notes a $39,000 borrowing from electric funds and urges the electric fund remain no lower than $20,000 to cover a new substation. Council considers audit review while work proceeds on new 69,000 volt line and streetlight installation on Leavitt Road and North Main Street.
