Webster City.
At an adjourned meeting, held last
Thursday evening. it was practically
decided by the city dads to again slap
on another addition to the price Of hot
air City heat costs patrons a matter
| of 321s per foot Of radiation. The
consequence was that this price proved
to be inadequate. and the city sus-
tanned a loss of nearly $1,000. Thus It
| Is decided to raise the price of heat
| several cents and increase the length
of the season To some this WITH prove
rather unsatisfactory. There are some
| who will Install plants refusing to
take heat at an advance price. How
ever the council considers they can
not afford to do business at a loss.
Were it not so late In the season 1t is
likely the system would be abandoned
altogether
