He further stated that the increase being recommended would cost the average residential user an addi- tional $.25 per month or a total of $6.95 per month for 4,000 cubic feet used during a two-month period. Allen W. Miller, 1400 West Warner, asked how much the indus- trial rate increase would be. Based on his average usage, the Staff estimated 23-25¢ per hundred cubic feet. Mr. Stevens stated that the Chamber of Commerce and major industrial users had been notified of the proposed increases. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 363 AUGUST 18, 1975
