Sharp exception was taken to this
by Earnest S. Hamlyn, Acton, who
declared that to keep a road like the
Swails road from being paved was
extravaganza, rather than saving,
because of great maintenance costs.
Miesse declared he offered no OBJ

Results in SLIGO Cost
at Princeton.
TOP MARK IN HISTORY
Opposition of Officials Is
flushed, Following
Conferences.

Under the generalship Of Chair
man John W. McCardle, public serv-
ice commission approval has been
given the highest natural gas rate
in the history of the commission, it
VAS learned today. The rate is sl.60
per 500 cubic feet at Princeton, Ind.
The approval vas given following
p conference Of commissioners with
officials of the Princeton Utilities
Company and Princeton city officials
at the statehouse, Friday. It is an
optional rate for gas TO Princeton
consumers.
When the conference first got I'M
der way. the majority of the COM
missioners and the city officials
seemed to oppose the new rate, it is
said.
Two Commissioners Object
Objections Of Commissioners
Frank L. Singleton and Calvin Nc
Intosh, having been voiced, they
left the conference. Later, accord
ing to Commissioner Howell Ellis,
the Princeton city attorney. C. o.
Baltzell, announced that the city
council and Mayor William S.
Ennes, who was present. had ap-
proved the proposed rates.
Whereupon the commission ap-
prevail was granted, despite the fact
that the cost of natural gas in

er than anywhere in the state and

exceeded $3.50 for natural gas COM
mission records indicate.

fled it today with Livinghouse.
