Blackout paralyzes NYC and prompts essential worker order
A massive electrical storm triggered a citywide blackout across New York and suburbs last night. Power stations failed as demand remained high, with 150,000 customers relit in Jamaica Queens by 2 a.m. and 117,000 in Westchester reconnected within an hour. The outage disrupted Long Island Railroad and Conrail, closed tunnels, and left offices without air conditioning or elevators in heat. Ohio utility officials say such a citywide blackout is unlikely in their systems, noting higher backup reliability and different distribution networks.

Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. supports the claim with CES surveillance and a robust network. John R. White, Duke Energy president, was in New York for a luncheon and reported favorable financial and service conditions.

PUCO orders Ohio Bell Telephone Co. to allow residential customers five free directory information calls monthly starting Aug. 25. The decision keeps three calls for business and centrex customers and 20 cent per extra call. Ohio Bell argued a selective charging plan would cost millions and require new equipment. The higher limit aims to cut charges by about half, as fewer than 10 percent now exceed the current limit.
