Gas Franchise Passed After Second Reading
The Minot gas franchise cleared its second reading and appears in full in the Independent. Manager Mr. Johnson thanked the council as the committee reported favorable with a few changes. He expects natural gas within a year and material including fifty miles of pipe has been ordered. Pipes will be laid above ground except where crossing highways. Work starts on right of way across farms. Gas is moisture free so eight inch pipes won’t go underground, easing construction. Rates will stay very moderate to aid manufacturing. The Northern Telephone Company alley-use ordinance passed second reading, and pedller licensing ordinance was ordered drafted.
