(INS AWAITS STUDY ON GAS, OFFICIAL SAYS
Proposed Plant Removal Not to Be Hurried, Is Announcement.
E. C. Atkins, vice president of the E. ©. Atkins Co. manufacturer of
Baws, said today no steps are to be taken to move the plant from Indi‘anapolis until action on natural gas
introduction promised by H. L.
Dithmer, board president of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utilty, has been considered fully. “We would much rather stay in Indianapolis,” Mr. Atkins explained, “but it is our first duty to consider our own costs. We certainly are not taking any hurried action in a matter which involves so much money and so many people. The possibility of moving our plant to Newcastle is not being considered for any per"sonal or selfish reasons. If the Citigens Gas and Coke Utility can furnish the product we want at the right price; we would co-operate with them.”
No Recent Proposal
J. J. Daniels, atforney for the Columbia Gas and Electric Co., said he knew of no proposals made by his company to furnish natural gas to the municipal plant. “It has been some time since our representatives have discussed the matter -with the Citizen's Gas and Coke Utility,” said Mr. Daniels. Mr. Dithmer explained that his board was studying the natural gas problem, having it under consideration since the utility was acquired by the city last September. “We must first ‘determine our costs before we are prepared to say what effect the introduction of natural gas might have on the consumer,” he said “We brought the utility—the only one I know of— out of the red in approximately six months. It has taken several months to study the situation before being prepared to take any definite steps.” “We have produced gas at a re-
. . duced rate, saved the city $180,000
on the bond issue and reduced our pay roll 120 people,” Mr. Dithmer pointed out. “Our board is now preparing a statement on the problem of natural gas and it is to be announced soon.”
Consider Economy Plans
»
“We are considering not only the natural gas problem, but all other possible means of economy. We have had no definite bids from the Columbia Gas and Electric, but the matter has been discussed. Many changes in appliances would be necessary if natural gas is introduced here, but this not an impossible difficulty. We are interested only in furnishing the consumer with gas at the lowest possible cost,” he ‘said. E. C. Atkins executives are to confer Monday with members of the Newcastle Community Council on the proposed removal of the manufacturing plant. A meeting early this week failed to bring a proposal from the Newcastle group, al- - though it was said they were prepared to offer the Indighapolis plant a factory site and moving costs.
