Section 7 sets a max gas price of one dollar per thousand cubic feet with a five year window to lower to ninety cents. If not reduced, the city may appoint an arbitrating board to fix a fair future price. Three arbitrators are named, one by the Mayor, one by the Company, with a third chosen by both. The board must issue a written determination ensuring the company earns a just and fair profit on its investment. Price may be reset every five years by demand of either party.
