Gas Plant Purchase Advised by Commercial Club
A report from the Commercial Club investigates the old gas company's assets and whether the city should take over the unfinished plant. The committee estimates assets near ten thousand dollars, recommends purchasing materials and completing the plant, and projects a future gas rate drop from about 1.70 to 1.25 within five years, benefiting consumers and enabling a municipal utility. The proposal has mayoral and city council support, awaiting a vote at Thursday's election. Ed Nelson sold the Ruthven Free Press to W L Lyons of Bloomington Grove.
