City Takes Over
Oakland System
The city has accepted transfer
of the electric, water and sewer
age disposal systems at Oakland
village and will service the 131
customers there in the future.
The new arrangement went into
effect October 14. Rates at Oak
land will be the same as in the
city except for water which
will be 25 per cent higher.
The Oakland system is said
to be worth in the neighborhood
of $45,000 and was deeded to
the city for $1.
The addition of 131 new
customers brings the total being
served by the city utilities de
partment to 2500 electric cus
tomers and 2000 water cus
tomers. This is about double
the number served three years
ago. The hundreds of new homes
built in the past three years
contributed heavily to the big
increase.
The city also recently took
over a six inch water main
built by Hal Kohn on Johnstone
street from the Hunt street in
tersection to his “Suburbia”
development on the edge of
town and will supply water
there at the standard rate. Mr.
