Utility Board Ponders
Local Rate Changes
Friday night the Nome Utility
Board held an open meeting at
the City Hall, for discussion of
power and light rates which were
recently put into effect, and which
have not proven satisfactory to
large users. The meeting was well
attended, but no decision was
reached. Another meeting of the
board is scheduled for this after
noon, at which time it is planned
to announce some change in rates.
The Citiy Council has announced
that unless the Utility Board took
some action, the highest rate of
10 cents would go into effect Jan
uary 1. The board is to present
their facts and figures at the next
regular Council meeting.
