Y. A. BOYS TO BROADCAST
FROM BRADY TODAY AT 4:48
Monday of this week the CkM-
thwalte city council let a new
franchise to Thomas Oook eg
Houston for a natural gas dis-
tributing company to sell gas
in Goldthwaite. A condition of
the franchise required the com-
pany to notify the city wr ite
acceptance within SO days, which
would Wi May 12. J W. Moore
of J. W. Moore and Bon, who al-
ready held a franchise from the
city, was present at the meeting
to give his sanction to-toe new
contract
Mr. Cook stated that his com-
pany’s plan was to secure its gas'
from the rich new gas field near
Pottavllle, Hamilton county, and
pipfc it from there to Llano. The
pipe line would run between Lo-
me Ut... and f6utmimk$--..and-. -
branch lines would run to Lo-
meta, San Saba, Goldthwaite
and Lampasas. Franchises had
already been secured at Llano,'
San Saba and Lometa, and the
promoters went from here to
Lampasas to arrange for a fran-
chise there.
Tentative rates for gas to con-
sumers here were set at a It
minimum for the tint 1088 cu-
bic feet and 50c per thousand
feet thereafter.

prospects for obtaining natural

tunity appears the beta that had

seriously planning to enter the
field in this section.
Whether the new company can ’
compete with the butane gai
residential Installations which
are proving more and more pop-
ular in this section is a moot
point with champions on each
side. There can be no question,
however, but that the In trod uc- "
