Bethlehem Mayor Defies Utilities In Municipal Plant Bid
Bethlehem mayor Robert Pfeifle and city council defy court orders to proceed with a municipal power and light plant backed by PWA funds. Judge Stewart has issued contempt actions as poles are up and machinery housing built at a $40,000 cost, with $115,000 more needed. Pfeifle argues borrowing capacity now exists and vows completion, criticizing Pennsylvania Power and Light for blocking taxpayers’ cheaper rates and eventual city ownership within six years.
