Since the puDllc utllltleS
has not yet taken any action
Atty. Richard Sauer of Mari
eta and H. M. Wells, vice
president of the Permian gas
company met with the council
Tuesday in an effort to negotiate
an agreement between the vii
lage and the gas company.
No action was taken but
Mayor Homer Johnson will call
special meeting of the council
at which time Atty. L. c. Young,
city solicitor, and the gas COM
pany will attempt to negotiate
an agreement.
The village of Caldwell and
the Permian company has an
existing contract which does not
terminate until November, 1855,
and there is possibility that
this will be extended for al
least two years, if an agreement
can be reached on any change
| in rate.
Proposed Rate
The proposed rate increase
now on file in Columbus would
charge $1.25 for the first soc
cubic feet and 10 cents per 1000
cubic feet thereafter.
In other words, under the eX-
isting old rate, a gas bill which
is now $14.00 would be increased
to $500. A gas bill of $3.50
under the old rate would be in
| creased to $50.75.
The negotiations at the special
| meeting will be an effort to
bring the rate down by the vii
lage of Caldwell.
Permian officials said that the
increased cost resulted from
their contract with Texas East
ern Transmission Corp, which
extends for 20 years.
Insurance Agent Frank Reed
attended the meeting and TOLD
the council that the deed for the
old state highway garage from
the state of Ohio would be re-
ceived here July % and then the
local insurance coverage would
go into effect.
Lower Fire Insurance
Ray Elswick also told the
council that a representative Of
the Ohio Inspection Bureau, Co.
lumbus, was in Caldwell this
week, checking the possibility
that Caldwell would receive {
better classification and even.
tually a lower fire insurance
rate. A detailed report on his
findings will be made public al
a later date.
