NIPSCo Amends Gas Tracking Petition To Reflect Decreases

HAMMOND — Northern Indiana Public Service Company today amended its request of December 7, 1971, tothe Public Service Commission of Indiana, to reflect a $2,853,000 reduction in the cost of gas supplied to NIP SCo by the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company The reduction resulted from a recent order of the Federal Power Commission approving a settlement agreement with the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company and the filing of a settlement agreement by the* Natural Gas Pipeline Company of .America under which the two pipeline suppliers will reduce their requested increase in the wholesale cost of natural gas to distribution company customers. NIPSCo’s filing is in accordance with an order of the Public Service Commission of Indiana dated December it, 1970, authorizing gas distribution utilities tn the state to track increases or decreases in the cost of gas purchased from pipeline suppliers whenever such increases or decreases have previously been approved by the Federal Power Commission. The utility's amended petition indicates that as a result of such decreases in the whoesale cost of

of Warsaw and four steps ahead of any other town in the county.” Following the election of officers and a formal swearing-in by attorney Garrard, the board approved a set of by-laws and voted approval to cooperate with Ralston-Purina in helping finance its plant at Milford.

ABOUND WB A severe shock of earthquake was felt at Jacksonville and other points in Florida on the night of the 12th. It lasted about thirty seconds and buildings were violently shaken and doors throw-n open. At Camp Robinson, on the night of the 9th, the imprisoned Cheyennes revolted and broke out of the building where they were confined, killing one soldier and wounding four others. The Indiana Legislature met on the 9th and organized by the election of D. D. Dale as secretary of the senate; C. W. Ward, assistant; Richard Huncheon, door-keeper; H. S. Cauthome, speaker of the house; and W. Dixon, clerk. . Excerpts above were taken from front page of latest news, the new world, of the Monmouth Review, January 17, 1879, by A. H. Swain, Warren county, 111. The copy was found in the wall area of the Sims (Joy and Catherine) home in the 200 block of South Huntington street during a remodeling job this past year. Interesting were advertisements of railroads including the old reliable Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania and Great Short Line to Boston via New York City with Pullman Palace Cars for Elegant Eating Houses. Dentists included one for teeth extraction without pain by the) use of nitrous oxide or laughinggas (and we wondered how relaxing the latter might be.) A portion of a post office statement issued for the year 1878 gave stamps, envelopes, wrappers and postal cards sold at $8,193.75; total number of stamps, envelopes, wrappers and postal cards, 367,007; number of letters registered, 654; same sent to dead letter Office, 795; and same misdirected and not properly stamped, 135. A notice from the town collector said: Pay your taxes soon. Call at the Court House in the afternoon or evening, and I'll be there to greet you. If taken this month, 500 lots in the town of Medora, South Florida, $1.50 each and corner lots, 50c extra. Yes. they are open for business —two business establishments in the uptown area, in-spite-of boards replacing window glass. The storm door to the beauty shop, restaurant and budget shop uptown was broken in a recent windstorm and replaced with a sheet of wood and Gamble’s placed three large sheets in the store front as, the glass window was broken when an auto jumped the curb without a driver, smashing the glass. Byron Connolly and Loren Longenbaugh were two Syracuse town board members going out of office who turned up to see the new Syracuse town board sworn in at the town hall Jan. 1. Outgoing clerk-treasurer Ronald Sharp was also present. ’ While there were no speeches to mark the occasion of a transfer of authority in the town, Byron Connolly spoke to several persons present about the 12 years he has been not only a board member but president of the Syracuse board. He went into office in 1960 when he defeated J. Barton Cox on a paster ballot, the only such ballot to be successful in the history of the state of Indiana, he pointed out. Connolly said, “During these 12 years 1 have taken my share of abuse, but I continued to keep my peace and do what I thought was right for the town of Syracuse.” Indeed, there have been some

rought years, and there are those who felt the town hasn’t made the amount of progress it should have, he added. Connolly pointed to the town’s new fire station as one great accomplishment realized while he was president of the Syracuse town board, and the new firefighting equipment boused there. He concluded by saying he has had a world of experience in town government during these 12 years, and that he “feels absolutely no animosity to anyone” who found fault with the board during this period. No member of the outgoing board sought re-election. Townsmen who got to know Bill Strom beck, auto salesman at W. L. Cutter Chevrolet, Inc., will soon miss his miling face. Bill will become the manager of Sir Lancelot’s Lounge, the elaborate supper club now under construction south of North Webster. The birds are flying back from the southland. With classes beginning Monday, there was a scurry of people returning to the area who went to Florida for the Christmas holidays. Almost all reported heavy traffic around the Orlando area, attracted there by Disney World. Those who made it there said it was well worth the effort. An area service station owner, beset with problems getting attendants who want to pump gas, has come up with the idea of using young ladies, clad in fetching (perhaps abbreviated) uniforms. “Everybody else is doing it and it seems to work,” he commented. Something to look for. A Happy Birthday message goes to Jesse Botts of r 1 Syracuse in celebration of his 91st birthday anniversary observed on January 2. I A long full day was evident Monday at the local license branch with 264 passenger plates being sold and no time to report tally of truck plates which must be purchased earlier than some auto plates, plus a large number of driver license renewals and tests given. With three attendants, namely branch manager Virginia Putt, and assistants Lavada Dean and Sue Williams, persons still had to wait a period due to the steady flow.
