Special Town Board Meeting Held Monday The Walkerton Town Board took special action Monday night, July 28, at its first budget meeting, to meet the problem created by the drastic increase in the fuel adjustment charge being made to the Town by Northern Indiana Public Service Co. The charge has been increased from approximately S3OO per month over the last four years but has not been passed on to the local users of electricity. The Town Board concluded that immediate action should be taken to apply to the Public Service Commission of Indiana for permission to increase local charges to include the fuel charge increase as the Town’s reserves can no longer defray this expense. If the Town’s application receives favorable response from the Indiana Public Service Commission at Indianapolis, the additional charges should go into effect in approximately 60 days.
