Council Cannot Agree On Lafayette Gas Meter Rate
At a Lafayette Indiana council meeting last night city leaders and Lafayette Gas Company officials failed to reach an agreement on compulsory gas meters. The dispute centers on a proposed 2 cents per thousand feet rate with meters installed by the company at no charge, while the council seeks a lower price.

The council plans another discussion next week, while the company warns it could enforce meters under its franchise if denied.
