HORACE A. KNOWLTON
MAYOR
Honorable Members of City Council:
I aru vetoing Ordinance No. 4979, entitled "An
Ordinance Repealing Ordinance 4802, Approved December
8, 1930, and for Other Purposes," which ordinance was
passed by you June 27, 1932.
If this ordinance reduced the price of gas to
any consumer one cent this action would not be taken.
To the contrary, I axa informed by those affected that
it would mean an increase to the industries in this
city, who are solely affected. by the ordinance, of from
$30,000 to $65,000 in fuel cost if the regular price is
restored. And the gas bill of not one person, firm, or
corporation will be reduced one penny.
I am most certainly in favor of a reduction in
utility rates along various lines, but I am also strongly
in favor of encouragement of our local industries. The
laundries, packing houses, oil mills, cotton compress,
etc., would have their gas rate increased by this ordinance,
and I cannot see where any advantage would accrue to our
city by increasing the operating expenses of these local
industries $30,000 to W,000.-per, ye r in fuel cost.
a, 4- O� f
Tide are hoping tom e this an inviting field for
industries, yet one of ohindrances is fuel cost.
I am approving Resolution No. 1268, which requires
copies of all contracts with industrial users and the
Little Rock Gas and Fuel Company to be filed with the
City Clerk in ten days, where they will be available to
the public. Monday night there was introduced by
Alderman Terral an ordinance repealing the 50 -cent monthly
service charge embraced in the schedule of rates of the
-2- City council
HORACE A. KNOWLTON
MAYOR
Little Rock Gas and Fuel Company, which was referred to
the PuIblic Utilities Committee. I am sure the Committee
will move as expeditiously as legally possible in considera-
tion of that ordinance and give further consideration to
amendment of the rates and report their findings back to
the Council, but pending a final settlement of rates with
the Gas Company I do not think our local industries should
be required to pay higher fuel xE.tes than have been existent
under Ordinance No. 4802. That is ray sole reason for
this veto.
Respectfully submitted,
Awe
HAK: VT hdayor.
