CITY MAY PURCHASE
HENR|C0 GAS PLANT

Purchase by the city of Richmond
of the Hpnrico gas plant will be con-
sidered by the committee on public
utilities at a special meeting called for
Friday night by the chairman. Claude
l.. Batkins, a subcommittee appoint
ed TO investigate the purchase of the
plant will report to the main commit
tee on that occasion. and the matter
viii re thoroughly gone into. >.
The proposition is one that was pro-
posed several weeks ago by Council
man F. Lee Roden and referred to the
utilities committee for their consider
alton and report. Mr. RIDDEN believes
that the gas plant can be bought by
the city at cost, and that the benefit
derived from the increased gas facili-
ties will be incalculable.
The advantage to be gained from
the purchase Of the additional light
and fuel plant. those interested in the
matter say, will be to give to the resi-
dents of the Northside better and
| cheaper flow of gas, When this sec
ton was taken into the city limits the
gas plant came along with il. but nov
the property owners there are clam
oring for city gas at as cheap rate
and as much of II as the residents o
the older sections OF the city receive
The outcome OF the proposed negotia
tons for the plant is looked for with
great interest.
