Klamath Falls, Dec. IS
Brought before the city council
by Jack Henry of the Klamath
Shopping Guide, the much-discussed
heating plant problem
came up again Monday night at
the regular meeting of the city
fathers.
Henry cited various examples
of the lack of heat in schools
hospitals and business houses
during the past two weeks and
expressed the opinion that since
the city is probably the biggest
heat user, the council should
make a complaint to the public
utilities commission. Fire Chief
Keith Ambrose reported that the
fire department has been with
out heat for the last week, and
Councilman Rollin Cantrall add
ed that the armory and the city
hall have also been low4 on heat.
The council decided 'to notify
the public utilities commission
by letter with the hopt that the
situation will be relieved.
