DOMESTIC GAS
RATES LOWERED
ONMARCH 1ST
New Schedule Will Save
Consumers Some $4,000
Annually in Mt. Pleasant and Glare
Upon request of the Gas' Corporation of Michigan we use the following
article from our neighboring city paper, Isabella County Times-News:
A new natural gas rate schedule
lowering the rate 10 cents on the
first two steps for domestic users and
which will account for an estimated
$3,000 to $5,000 annual saving became
effective here March 1 following approval by the State Public Utilities
Commission last Wednesday.
The rate reduction had been agreed
to by the City Commission and tha.
Gas Corporation of Michigan several
weeks ago but awaited the approval
of the utilities commission to become
effective. While the commission's
order makes the new rates effective
March 1, actually" consumers" wil}
benefit from February 26/* the last
meter reading date
The new.schedule fixes the ■ flrs$
step at $1.30 and the second step
$1.00. No change was made in the
present house heating rates of 4C
cents per thousand.
The State Public Utilities Cbmmis-
bion at the Wednesday hearing commended both the gas company and
the city _ommission - for having what'
were declared the lowest gas rates,
domestic and. heating, in the state,
The present house heating rate was
declared to be lower than other prevailing rates in Michigan and below
coal heating costs.
Officials of the gas company estimated that the domestic rate reduction will effect an'annual saying ol
between $3,000 and $5,000 annually
in the Mt. Pleasant and Clare Unit.
At the present time officials of the
utility and the city commission are
negotiating on a proposed profit sharing plan which if adopted, woulc]
effect further savings to users of
from $4,000 to $6,000 annually.
The Gas Corporation of Michigan,
which services Mt, Pleasant, Rosebush and Clare from the Vernon garj
field 11 miles north of here, was the
first in the state to utilize gas from
Central Michigan wells. According
to officials of the, company, a permit
has been applied for to construct a
new gas main from the Vernon field
to Clare to replace the present pipeline in order to provide additional
service to. the northern markets.
iPlans also are under way for the expenditure of considerable money in
the near future to improve the distri5
button system in Mt. Pleasant, of--
ficials said.
During the past year five new gas
wells have been added in the Vernon
gas field and with considerable new
drilling in the field charted for this
summer, gas company . officials predict that the supply is assured foy
many years. -...-.

LIVESTOCK CLIMBING TO
FORMER PRICE SCALE
■■■ It'has been niany months since the
bidding at'an auction sale has been
lively" enough to create much enthusiasm, but "Tuesday's sale was an exception.
The Gallagher Brothers-residing on
the : James Duncan farm in Vernon
.offered a large list for puhiic- sale, under the hammer of Clarence Tucker
as auctioneer. One team of percheron
horses was sold to Fred Haskins, of
Isabella county, for §525. The price
for the herd, of Holstein cows ranged
from ,$55 to $74 "each.
; Tite question of feed hag brought
a scarcity of cattle and the heavy
losses in the south and west, also
tend to make a brisk market,tor well
fed and well housed, -stock.
HELEN D. HETHER

Miss Hether will not enter upon
,the duties of the office until July 1st,
the term of her office being for four
years. "* .

TWO CROP DISEASE CONTROL MEETINGS NEXT WEEK
J. H: Muncie of Michigan State
College will discuss methods of controlling some of our most bothersome
crop' diseases next Tuesday, March
12th, at meetings in the Elm Grove
Grange Hall at 10:00 a. m. and Grant
Town Hall at 2:00 p. m.
The large number of diseases and
pests that are Invading Michigan
crops in recent years make it imperative that every farmer.keep well
informed of the nature of these diseases -and of methods of their control.
Many improved methods and materials for controlling diseases are
constantly being brought out by research people which have been tasted
by the'experiment stations. Some of
these remedies are to be recommended—others to be forgotten. It is for
the purpose of helping farmers become acquainted with the best
methods and materials for controling
crop diseases that these meetings are
held. Remember the date, the place,
and the time.

County Agr'l Agent.

ISSUE BEFORE
COT COUNCIL
Municipal Ownership Seems
Unwise Without More
Detailed Investigation
For the past few weeks there nave
appeared in several of the State papers, long articles creating much-a*
do- over -Clare's .consideration, of
Municipal control of gas, to be piped
in-from local-wells,-for lighting, heat- -
ipg and eooking purposes within tha
city limits. Property ..owners were
'chagrined on one-occasion to read that
the city fathers had ••■involved them in-'
to a $16,000.00 bond indebtedness, for,
the purpose, while the local paper
had sounded no siren to attract attention. Many anxious: hours have ■
Been whiled away by, otherwise calm,
and quiet households, ,•waiting anfj
watching. their chimney' tops .for
signs, that would proclaims that the
newly pictured 10c 4and 15c gas, just
instilled and installed, were rapidly
changing the freezing ozone of the'
rooms of (heir dwellings, stores and
offices, which they .were ;una ble to heat
at the price of coal, to- that moderate
temperature of 70 or that of 90 which
would bring forth those beads oi
sweat on the most chilly,* without
extra draw on the family purse
strings. Pawners along the line began to vision their sparsely wooded
plots, now of no use as- fuel, growing
to forests and extra help to carry tiie
eggs after the installation of gas
lights, for old "Biddy's" night work.
But alas and "behold! As ever and
anon the good old Clare's Sentinel is
on the job to-give its' patrons, local
citizens and those scattered to the
distant corners, of the globe the
authentic history of the local gas
question.
Last fall* the present herd of so-called city fathers were approached, by
a representative from the Company,
now furnishing the city with gas,
with a new agreement; entrance into
which would have warranted a 4,inch
pipe line from 5 miles south to our
fair city but being desirous of aiding,
in the development of the local Clare
County field, - realizing the present
franchise held until 1946 they withheld becoming a party,'to the" suggested deal
However, each Councilman's hroW

those of authority what necessary
steps Avere to be taken for a consider
ation of this development and nothing
came to light until at- the February,
meeting they were asked to hire engineers to make a survey of the cost
of a hook-up With the; suggested field

of a Mr. Miller and Mr. McClosky
were obtained by the committee tor

Now the present rates of $1.40 for*
the first 1000 cubic- feet, $1.10 for the
second ,etey (with a'40 cent heating-
rate graduated down but .priced since,
the acquiring of natural gas) has prevailed for years. In fact back in the
days when the present Company was
an individually owned institution.

Pleasant and Glare Upon request of the Gas' Corporation of Michigan we use the following article from our neighboring city paper, Isabella County Times-News: A new natural gas rate schedule lowering the rate 10 cents on the first two steps for domestic users and which will account for an estimated $3,000 to $5,000 annual saving became effective here March 1 following approval by the State Public Utilities Commission last Wednesday. The rate reduction had been agreed to by the City Commission and tha. Gas Corporation of Michigan several weeks ago but awaited the approval of the utilities commission to become effective. While the commission's order makes the new rates effective March 1, actually" consumers" wil} benefit from February 26/* the last meter reading date The new.schedule fixes the ■ flrs$ step at $1.30 and the second step $1.00. No change was made in the present house heating rates of 4C cents per thousand. The State Public Utilities Cbmmis- bion at the Wednesday hearing commended both the gas company and the city _ommission - for having what' were declared the lowest gas rates, domestic and. heating, in the state, The present house heating rate was declared to be lower than other prevailing rates in Michigan and below coal heating costs. Officials of the gas company estimated that the domestic rate reduction will effect an'annual saying ol between $3,000 and $5,000 annually in the Mt. Pleasant and Clare Unit. At the present time officials of the utility and the city commission are negotiating on a proposed profit sharing plan which if adopted, woulc] effect further savings to users of from $4,000 to $6,000 annually. The Gas Corporation of Michigan, which services Mt, Pleasant, Rosebush and Clare from the Vernon garj field 11 miles north of here, was the first in the state to utilize gas from Central Michigan wells. According to officials of the, company, a permit has been applied for to construct a new gas main from the Vernon field to Clare to replace the present pipeline in order to provide additional service to. the northern markets. iPlans also are under way for the expenditure of considerable money in the near future to improve the distri5 button system in Mt. Pleasant, of-- ficials said. During the past year five new gas wells have been added in the Vernon gas field and with considerable new drilling in the field charted for this summer, gas company . officials predict that the supply is assured foy many years. -...-.
