No, don't worry, Notwithstanding
the fact that some of the wealthy
property owners would like to see the
gas fund applied to paving main
street it will never be done. That
fund must be held sacred for general
improvements and not applied to the
benefit of individual holdings. When
ever such a scheme is seriously at
tempted the price of gas will be
placed at such figure that there will
be no surplus funds available. The
poor people of the town are not going
to give up their hard earned dollars
to improve the property of wealthy
holders along Main street.
The present rates, or nearly so, should
be maintained till the plant is paid
for and the floating debt incurred in
the development of gas liquiddted.
Then there should be a moderate re-
duction of rates.
