City Council approves gas franchise and airport power plans
The council Second Reading granted a gas distribution franchise to John McFangen and L B Denning for a Pocatello plant and approved an agreement with Short Line to maintain the railroad pumping plant stack near the airport. Fire Chief Canfield recommended National Cleaners operate in the National Laundry space after fireproof room updates. The body also limited city signs, discussed a time switch at the airport, and received an audit showing bond debt reduced by 76 055. The third city well at Ross Park has been completed with a water flow test planned before permanent pumping equipment is installed. Mayor Ross presided with councilors Gasser Smith Burton and city officials present.
