40 Cent Gas A Possibility In This City
E P Whitcomb of Pittsburg explained a plan to bring natural gas to Richmond at 40 cents for the first 5 000 cf and 35 cents thereafter up to 95 000 cf with 30 cents for excess. Union Natural Gas Corp would back franchises via a holding company and would not battle for a franchise, provided Richmond grants reasonable terms to extend mains using alleys. Whitcomb urged prompt action to include Richmond in a current pipe contract so gas service could begin before winter, with an indemnity bond to lay mains and supply gas.
